From picture to picture, longtime photographer Ernie Anderson found a way to capture San Diego State Athletics for more than five decades.
If you can recall an SDSU athlete, there is a good chance Anderson took their photo.
Even during the 2019-20 school year, Anderson was capturing the moments up until athletics were suspended due to COVID-19. On Easter Sunday, he passed away at the age of 73 because of glioblastoma, the same form of cancer that took Sen. John McCain.
Anderson received his first camera at the age of 14 but when he was competing on the SDSU men’s track team, he realized they were not getting the coverage they deserved from The Daily Aztec.
