From Indiana's tiniest towns to its biggest cities, high school basketball is a source of pride, unifying communities with different races, religions, and social and economic status.</p><br/><p></p><br/><p>First drawn simply to documenting the architecture of Indiana's high school buildings and basketball courts, Chris Smith and Michael Keating quickly discovered that the real story was about more than just brick and mortar, maple and shellac. Told repeatedly by locals how important these places were to their communities, they began to embrace the game on Saturday, church on Sunday mantra that is found in many towns through Indiana, watching countless hours of basketball and becoming a part of the Hoosier tradition themselves. </p><br/><p></p><br/><p>With over 150 color photographs and unforgettable stories from high school basketball and beyond, <i>Chasing Indiana's Game: The Hoosier Hardwood Project</i> is a tribute to the Hoosier state and all who love basketball.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Chris Smith has travelled the US and Caribbean for more than 35 years as a photographer for Fortune 500 companies and editorial outlets like the <i>Wall Street Journal</i>, <i>National Geographic Traveler</i>, and <i>Smithsonian Magazine</i>.
