Team HEAD Christmas in July

This isn't a photography post or a travel post but for me, it is a fun post. Every year for the past 20 years or so, I get a great big box in late July from Team HEAD. Its like Christmas in July. As a sponsored player, I get clothes, racquets, bags and warm up gear and I get to support the sport as a representative of an excellent company. Hey, its not how good you play but how good you look while you play!!! Every year, the day the box comes in, I run out to the club to wear the new colors and play with the new racquets. Did that today. Love the new racquet. My new racquet is a HEAD Extreme 165. Hits with a big sweet spot and with lots of power. Love it. I just warmed up with it so no games today so I am still undefeated with the new racquet. Always like to keep that going for as long as possible.

City of Big Shoulders

The old Sears Tower (can't stand the new name so I will use the old) looks to me like it does have Big Shoulders, a nickname for the city itself. The parkway across the street gives a rare bit of green to shoot through from the downtown area.

Chicago Federal Reserve Building

Great light and shadow on a late afternoon cutting across the side of the Chicago Federal Reserve building. 

Little Man #2

Another silhouette shot at the Chicago lakefront Faces display.

Little Man in Silhouette

Still finding shots from a recent trip to the Faces display in downtown Chicago. The little guy gave me a pose and I took it.

Colorado Rockies Pole-to-Pole

Another pole-to-pole shot from the Colorado Rockies vs White Sox game of a couple of weeks ago. I might have been slow to post this as I was still recovering from the beating that they took. However, since they took some many beatings since then, it really doesn't matter. Still, another ballpark in the pole-to-pole series in the bag!!!
