20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Basketball in Yaounde

That late Sunday afternoon in Yaoundé, I took quite a few pictures of the basketball players as they were disputing a very competitive match. When I looked at the photos, this one resembled a Muybridge's: it rendered the illusion of movement, seemingly breaking down the action and the jumps while all players' eyes are on the ball.
