Day 135--Ego Problem

Is it possible to make a bobble head even more distorted?

Yes. Yes it is.

Day 134--Time Warp

The Perfectos journeyed to Marion, IL last night for a game against the Murphysboro Clarkes. what was interesting was that the game was played at the home field for the Frontier League Southern Illinois Miners. Even weirder is that the field was entirely fake--no grass, and no dirt. The turf was just painted brown where dirt would have been.

True, this picture doesn't show it all that well, but I was amused that Wheels was nice enough to be used as a bit of railing for Cyclone. This is why we like having him on the team.

Day 133--Softball

After playing vintage base ball long enough, watching something like softball is a very weird experience indeed. Even weirder is a softball tournament that starts at 10:00 and runs until the wee hours of the morning.

Day 132--Fireworks

You were expecting something else today?

I haven't done fireworks picture in at least 7 years. I have to say I really like the shots I got.

Also: if you'd like to see some more shots from tonight, simply go here.

Day 131--The Whip Guy

Easily one of the most frustrating shoots I've had in a long time. And it's not the fault of the esteemed Chris Camp, either. Well, not directly. I suppose he can't help the fact that his whips are moving so fast (900 mph!). And it's probably my fault that I picked the darkest branch in the system for this shoot. So despite my best efforts, it was nearly impossible to get a decent shot of the whips in motion.

I do kinda like this one, though. You can just see the flower he whipped out of his hand along the side of the frame.

Day 130--Juggling Jeff

When all is said and done, and my personal List of Awesome™ is compiled, there is little doubt in my mind that Juggling Jeff will be very near the top. Easily my favorite performer to see (again and again and again). I mean, I've seen his juggling show about half a dozen times and it just never gets old. Which iis a good thing. Oh and he's a darn nice guy, to boot.

There. Sucking up is over.

On the picture itself--Jeff was kind enough to indulge me after his show today and let me try something I had in mind the past week or so. It's a variation on something I saw a wedding photographer do, and actually, I want to try this at a wedding, only with flowers instead of juggling balls (a lateral move, really).

Allow me to close with something The Brother posted way back in the day:

PARENT: Hey! That guy’s juggling fire!–on a ball!

OTHER PARENT: He’s on a hill, too!

Day 129--Mini Golf

I went mini golfing with The Rog tonight. Good times were had, and no windows were broken.
