Brothers and Football
Uploaded: September 20, 2012
---
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.
