🕊️ Rest in Power, Reggie Hildred 📸
Last week, we lost not just a phenomenal photographer, but a brother. Reggie wasn’t just my colleague — he was family. For nearly 20 years, we shared sidelines, covering everything from the to the , , , , NCAA tournaments and beyond.
Reggie was a silent assassin behind the lens — always in the right spot, always nailing the shot. I’ll never forget the game when “Scary Terry” caught the winner vs Philly — my shots were soft, Reggie had the full frame-by-frame sequence. That’s just who he was. A master. A mentor. A legend.
He lifted up so many photographers with his time, knowledge, and heart. One of his proudest moments was getting that USA Today call with Geoff Burke — breaking barriers for Black photographers in pro sports. He called me and Cory that morning full of joy.
Reggie, thank you for your talent, your loyalty, and your friendship. I’ll miss you always. Love you forever, brother. 🙏🏿📷🖤
