The Million Dollar Chair

I know my last post was a chair also, this should be the last 'chair' photo for a while, but look at this beauty! I call it "the million dollar chair" because that's how I feel each and every time I sit in it. Rumor has it it was originally the publisher's chair, then another employee used it until it found its final home with me at my desk. Take a look at the photo and notice what the 'common-folk' sit in.

That's a huge chair !

So I was driving toward the location of my 10-year high school reunion the other day and I missed the road. But just past the road was this HUGE lawn chair. That's not a toy tractor in the background, it's just a really really big lawn chair. I wanted to try it out because it's been a while since I've fit comfortably in a lawn chair, but there wasn't anyone around to take a photo of it.

My hero

Here's my hero (mom) doing what she loves. Any oddities I have, good or bad, come from her and I wouldn't change them for anything. I love my mom for so many reasons. Recently she purchased a Jamaican flag at a garage sale and will hang it somewhere outside because she "loves the colors." If there's anyone that doesn't believe in conformity, it's this woman.

Levi in TC

This is a friend of mine Levi Britton. He's from Traverse City, but he's been playing in an awesome band called Down The Line. He was playing in downtown Traverse City for an event called Friday Night Live where the streets are closed off and people can walk around, eat food, watch artists and have a good time. Levi tore it up and played an awesome set. I took the photo right when he started playing but as time went on there was a good sized audience watching him.

airplane

This fella here was watching a model plane fly overhead on Sunday. I was actually photographing a BMX race next to the "airfield" and it was funny because most of the people that were supposed to be watching the BMX race from the bleachers, were actually watching the planes instead. If you look close you can see the plane in the bottom right of the frame.

Jump on it

This was at a football practice I was shooting today and they had speakers set up playing loud music. If you can let yourselves imagine for a minute...The three guys on the right were dancing to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Jump On It" during drills.

Cannonball !

This was a swim team that had their final day of "practice" today. Since it was the last day the coaches let the swimmers have an open swim day. The worst part about taking pictures at a pool on a hot day is not being able to go swimming.

Robinson Tennis

This was taken yesterday, Tuesday, from the Robinson Tennis Tournament which is kind of a big deal. The fella in the photograph is from California but said he plays all over the world in places like Costa Rica, Japan, ...etc. Needless to say, he beat his opponent pretty badly. His opponent didn't even win a set. His opponents had spectators that appeared to be family members and they told this guy that he should've let his opponent have at least ONE set.
