Chris Lee graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in mechanical engineering, but taking pictures for a living seemed like a whole lot more fun. He primarily shoots sports as a staff photographer at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He lucked into a golden decade for St. Louis area sports, with local teams participating in the World Series, Super Bowl, Final Four and other championship events. No Stanley Cup yet, but could this be the year?
