One of my photos of Daniil Medvedev appears in an unconventional book that is about to be published, "Tennis Players As Works of Art" by David Linebarger.
This is not technical, biographical nor historical; it's philosophical, pairing artworks spanning numerous media, each showing professional tennis players with short essays. I trust this post won't seem overly commercial. I don't get anything further from this, but feel that anyone who puts this effort into a creation and goes the self-publishing route, deserves a leg up. So, a link to the amazon listing.
From the author's description: "Imagine Roger Federer's tennis as a classic Greek sculpture and Rafael Nadal's as prehistoric cave paintings. Picture Lady Pink, the first lady of graffiti, painting Serena Williams. How many ways can a tennis player be a work of art? ... Each short piece in this collection is creative, lyrical, insightful, and occasionally surprising. Through Linebarger's narrative and the artists' visions, readers will discover a new lens through which to view tennis-a sport elevated to the realm of cultural and artistic significance."
Cover by Ronaldo Alves, book by David Linebarger, published by Atmosphere Press, sold on Amazon.com.
