Street Sports and Smooches

First assignment in class this semester was street sports.  As it happened, my husband's second cousin was celebrating her 4th birthday and had been given a bright orange ball as a gift.  Shot #1 underway!

We left and drove over to a nearby basketball court for a few more shots, where everyone was really friendly and I talked to a guy who had actually been recruited by Temple's basketball team.  I hope it all works out for him, he was really nice.

On the way home there was a killer sunset and Nathaniel and I stopped to take a few pictures.  The one of us was taken together - I held the camera and he pressed the button.  Are we too cute or what....

The Old Man and the SEPTA Bus

So for my Design for Journalists class we have to take our camera with us everywhere we go and document everything we see for a week.  Well, fair enough- we ought to be doing that anyway.  Truth is, I really haven't been as much as I should, lately.  So it's nice to get that kick in the butt to get back to work.

There was a man on the bus the other day I just had to get a picture of.  I'm a bit wary of shooting on public transportation (especially since the other day as I was shooting a man walking towards the exit stairs at the Fern Rock station a police officer rounded the corner and confronted me!!!) but I braved it to get this!  What an interesting looking man- I wonder what he's like.

Anyway, just thought I'd share with you all a little bit of what I'm up to in school.  I hope y'all are swell, wherever you are!
