Since retiring in 2007, I've covered sports photography for Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, as well as some junior college events and adult sports leagues. (My pictures have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Sentinel, the Wall Street Journal, and ESPN Magazine).
There are more than 30,000 pictures on these Lambda Basketball pages -- the site is now TWELVE years old! -- and there have been over 2.5 million "hits" by viewers.
I own the domain "lambdahoops.com" and it automatically forwards to these Flickr pages.
These images are Copyright © 2013-2026 Robert S. Helfman.
They May Be Freely Distributed, Copied, or Downloaded Without Charge For Non-Commercial Use Only and then Only With Attribution.
No "derivatives" are allowed -- you are NOT licensed to crop or perform any other alterations on the images (they must be used "as is"). This provision explicitly applies to "InstaGram" filters and other similar tools.
Do NOT copy these images and repost them as your own work, as copyright infringement action will be vigorously pursued under the terms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act: U.S. Code 112 Stat. 2860 (1998)

All my images are uploaded restricted to a current maximum of approximately 4096 pixels on the long side, which will give adequate resolution for prints up to 8x12. This has been done to reduce the incidence of image theft for commercial use. The images are usually sized for printing either 4x6 (8x12) prints or 4x5 (8x10) prints. You can look at the EXIF data for any pic to determine the intended format. Most pix in the 8x10 format will be (approximately) 3276x4096 pixels (ratio 1 x 1.25), whereas 8x12's will be 2730x4096 (ratio 1 x 1.5).
Occasionally a "panorama" free-sizing will be used. These images will always have a filename ending in "P".
Some images are cropped square when it seems appropriate, resulting in an "Instagram-ready" format; those will have a filename ending in "S".
If you need any image for poster-prints at a higher resolution, contact me directly via email.
If you want to print any of these images, download the desired image and send the jpg file to print services such as EZPrints or ShutterFly.
PLEASE NOTE: If you see a incessant Flickr window pop-up that pushes you to "sign up", you can just hit "Esc" or just click on "Continue without supporting" to dismiss the "nudge". You do NOT have to be a Flickr member to view my images. (You are also less likely to see these intrusions when using a computer browser as opposed to using your phone's browser.) Thanks for your patience.
