KANSAS CITY (July 23, 2013) – Photography by Brandon Schatz of SportsPhotos.com was featured on the cover of New York City’s Metro newspaper. The photo featured The Color Run in Brooklyn.

Sportsphotos.com provides a platform and marketplace for sports photographers to store and sell their sports photos. The company is one of the original players in The Digital Sandbox, and has also been selected for Techstars Patriot Bootcamp .

The Digital Sandbox  KC is helping Schatz develop a business model and set up a beta service with local high schools. “Some companies in the Sandbox don’t really require an investment of dollars,” said Jeff Shackelford, director of Digital Sandbox KC. “Bandon needed some coaching, guidance and connections to the right people.”
