Brothers and Football


	Brothers and Football --- This was shot at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new football field in Hunting Park, Philadelphia, a low-income area that the city Parks Department has chosen for redevelopment. A new baseball field in the neighborhood, partially funded by a generous donation from Phillies star Ryan Howard was recently completed. ----- The football field is being similarly funded by a $200K donation from the Michael Vick Foundation. ---- These two kids and their football were spotted by Philadelphia Mayor, Michael Nutter, who is standing behind them. Not one to miss a great photo opportunity, a few seconds later, he was posing with the children (see remarks area). --- Both photos are processed with Topaz's new Simplify 4. ---- Michelle Alton

So nice when "good" things happen, we usually only hear about the negative things. Super pics, story, and processing Michelle!

First one has a COOL, SIXTIES FEEL to it.
Lots of the Giving to the community that these guys do never makes it to the front pages. WHICH IS A SHAME cause ANY MISS STEP is under attack instantly on those same front pages.

Glad to see your enjoying this gig of yours
