Halftime

Halftime

Uploaded: November 28, 2013

Description


-------
On Thanksgiving, while we're giving thanks, millions and millions of Americans will be watching FOOTBALL!
----
This was a halftime performance early in this year's high school season.
-----
TThis morning I'm shooting half of each of two games in Philadelphia. I'm figuring out my wardrobe for this shoot. It'll be about 30F and winds 15-20 mph. I'll be thankful for three hours today for hand and foot warmers and for layers and layers.
---
In my world, I tend to bellyache a lot about things, forgetting that I really am a lucky person in so many ways. I have to try to remember more often to be grateful.
----
Happy Thanksgiving All!

I see you brought out the brass band for Thanksgiving. I am one person who will (hopefully) NOT be watching football! Happy Thanksgiving, Mickey! #10908706

You continue to impress me with your true to life work with people being themselves. I try to do that, makes it real. But with you, as you show here, the quality of the pictures is exceptional. Beautiful work Michelle. #10908713
