Photo 365 - Day 211 (Intersection)

Day 211 (January 30th, 2011)
Title: Intersection

There are some pictures, that I really have no idea why I took them.  Perhaps I thought they would look interesting or have some sort of compositional element that would be fun to look at, but most of the time I think its just because I'm nuts.  I was taking some shots from the top of our building (18 stories high) and I looked down and saw the tennis court and though: "Hey, white lines!  Those are cool!" and shot away. Afterward, I downloaded the photos, looked at them and thought: "Well, that was just stupid.  Its just white lines." 

After basically ignoring them for a while, I decided to come back to them and see if I could "play around" with just white lines and try and make them a bit more fun to look at.  Here is the end result! 

Enjoy

Photo 365 - Day 31 (You've Been Served!)

Day 31 (August 3rd, 2010)
Title: You've Been Served

I was watching these two gentlemen play tennis today, I have to say, they might be the worst players in history (myself not included, but then again, I don't know how to play).  The man serving (see pic) would act very professional about it.  Bounce the ball, get his racket into "power-slam" position, throw the ball up, point at the ball (as if to say: "Hey!  Ball!  I see you!  You are right there!"), and then as the ball was just at its perfect "hit-me" point, one of two things would happen:

A) he would miss the ball, and swing the racket so fast that I thought he might break the sound barrier, or:
B) he would hit the ball so hard, that is flew at Mach 2 at the other guys head, who would just duck and the ball would bounce off the back fence. 

I'm thinking the triple-latte before playing might have been a bad idea.
