Alex Dunbar has been a news and sports photographer since 1997. He has been fortunate enough to cover the NFL, NBA and AHL. He's also covered SU and other local college basketball, football and lacrosse. Alex was also one of few journalists selected to cover the inaugural training camp for Vince McMahon's XFL.
