George Tiedemann, Sports Illustrated staff photographer for 20 years. He called himself a “utility infielder,” because he had the ability to cover anything and everything, from outrigger canoe races to the Little League World Series. If he had to photograph an event that he was unfamiliar with, Tiedemann would do research and show up early to ask plenty of questions. In addition to Sports Illustrated, his work has also appeared in Time, Newsweek, Life and People.
