There's a whole lot of deja vu going around on my blog these days. The post a couple of days ago about my retail experience down Brunswick and Chapel streets in Melbourne was like a flashback to my other Melbourne posts from May 2008 and also my Oxford St post in January.
Well....back in April 2008, I made it to Saturday morning basketball during a break from Saturday weddings. I made a study on the footwork of Ken and Pwoid. The results of that one weren't quite conclusive. It's not quite a year on, but by chance....I found myself doing almost the same sort of thing today. Enjoy the results.
Round one. A classic (standard) baskeball portrait.


Round two. Mixin' it up a little.


Round three. Portrait orientation.


Round four. Actions shots.


And...one more after the cut...

Jubs didn't want to join in the fun, even with Janice on the phone telling him that it's a good idea to get his photo taken (and maybe take his shirt off while he's at it). So....this is as baller as a photo as we could take of Jub.
The action shots look like the "action shots" taken for basketball cards in the 1960s - ie staged. Especially the one of Pwoid defending Ken - I don't like his footwork.

i didn't trust the boys making true action shots with the lights on the court. i think these shots would be 10x more baller if i used real ballers.....
