(S4) - PT #3 - Cover Athlete

[SwagSloth]

As a native of New Orleans area, when he’s not spending his time in Yellowknife, Eric Kennedy is very involved with the city’s community. He’s worked with multiple media groups, such as the Advocate newspaper and Gambit Weekly magazine. Recently, during the previous offseason, he was chosen to be featured on the cover of Gambit and participated in a photo shoot while he was in the area. Gambit Weekly tends to focus on pop culture and local events as well as topics such as art, music, and politics. It isn’t known for featuring sports athletes, but as an active member of Louisiana’s charitable community, they chose to feature Kennedy as recognition for his attempts to raise awareness to issues that matter to the community.

The photoshoot itself took place in New Orleans’ famous Jackson Square, the heart of the French Quarter. With the beautiful architecture of the Saint Louis Cathedral in the background, Kennedy posed for photos early in the day as the camera crew waited to capture the right lighting. Of course, despite not being advertised, the event quickly drew a small crowd for the local celebrity and Kennedy took the time to mingle and get fans as the photographers gauged the right moment to get the lighting just right. It was quite a memorable experience for everyone involved and Kennedy hopes it will be one of many appearances to come in Gambit Weekly.
