Braves and the coke bottle.

The Atlanta Braves were making up a rain out game with the Chicago Cubs but this entry is not about the Braves or the Cubs, it about the coke bottle in left field. A couple of days before this game (6.22) it was announced the coke bottle would be dismantled and replaced with something else after the Phillies series, July 2. I had to get some photos before the bottle came down. It had fireworks shot out of the bottle when a Brave hit a homer and had stood in LF for 12 seasons..enjoy..
Standing in line to get tickets, I had tickets to the rainout game, who knew..
Sitting behind home plate, Bob Uecker would be proud.

Time to head to the Coke pavilion, after this photo was taken it was reported in the AJC, the Coke bottle will be dismantled and replaced. After learning this I decided I must return before the bottle is taken down.

Rainy day at the ballpark

After many many days in a row working, Finally a day off. So when the Braves are in town it's a good day to see some baseball. Hoping the rain would hold off, it didn't. We need the rain and I'm thankful for that. Here's a few photos.








After a 97 minute rain delay, they finally called the game at 3:07ET.


Once outside, the clouds were very low, almost touching the top of the Georgia State Capitol.

Unit2 Kickboxing Workshop

The Atlanta Photography Group held a portrait and action photo workshop 4.4.09 This was a perfect opportunity to work with equipment most of us do not have or have available to us on a regular basis. We also worked on photo technique. This also happened to be a kick boxing tournament..enjoy..

These two athletes were so easy to work with, they were both very photogenic and struck most of their own poses.
The look of confidence.
