Ronnie Lott.

I can’t say I am all that into football… but when I found out I was photographing Ronnie Lott for Coveroo’s new NFL cell phone covers, I was quite happy. Growing up, the 49ers were legend. And certainly, Ronnie was at the head of his pack. Not to mention, I had heard numerous times over [...]
