Kirthmon F. Dozier was a well-recognized face on the sidelines, dugouts, basketball courts and ice arenas all throughout the state. Loaded up with cameras, Kirt, as he was recognized to household and mates, captured a number of the most indelible pictures of Michigan’s sports activities heroes.
Kirt handed away final week after a quick sickness.
Kirt joined the Free Press in 1995, and whereas he shot information assignments, he was finest recognized for his sports activities images. From the Detroit Pistons championship to the Pink Wings’ Stanley Cup runs to Miguel Cabrera’s remaining day as a Tiger, Kirt was there, creating iconic pictures that graced the entrance web page and sports activities sections of the Free Press for practically three many years.
