Hard Ball?
Last week the neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia inducted one of its hometown celebrities into its Hall of Fame. I have not been a fan (to say the least), but I was touched that he felt honored enough to bring his brothers, cousins, wife and friends to the ceremony. His acceptance speech was entertaining and gracious, and he was very tolerant of my camera (I was shooting the event for a local paper). That's his brother beside him--a former politician in a nearby county--and of the opposite "persuasion" to Chris Matthews. Several others were also inducted during the ceremony. This was an edited version of the photo that the paper published.

I have to "plug" the flash diffuser that I have come to love: Spinlight 360. I have used it in the most "hidious" lighting conditions and it has never let me down. I have no "dog in the race" but I continue to adore this diffuser over all others I've tried.
