Sports photography is a useful training ground for systems thinking. The moment happens once. The light is bad. The venue is not designed for your sensor. The deliverable still has to work.
Where it is now
BamPav is the sports photography side of the portfolio: boxing, MMA, football, event coverage, and a large archive of fight images. It also produced one of the clearest tool-building problems in the stack: LED and PWM banding in arena photography.
The barriers
LED banding is the kind of problem that looks like an image-editing nuisance until you have to deliver hundreds of frames. It is caused by the interaction between lighting frequency, rolling shutter, exposure, and venue conditions. General photo software can reduce symptoms, but it does not know the event workflow.
How I did it
The answer was to build around the actual workflow: calibration, masking, heatmap overlay, before/after comparison, venue profiles, and correction passes that understand the image set rather than one isolated frame. That is the same theme as the rest of the T-drive stack: when the tool does not exist, build the smallest useful version and then keep folding it back into the operating system.
