| alex: got to learn to make these freewthrows, or else i won't get pt in the league. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| shawn, alex, getting some practice time in. | | |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| shawn: one-handed is my style. |
|
|
|
 |
| mini-hook shot. |
|
|
|
 |
drew: better make it, stefan.
stefan: about time i get the ball. |
 |
| an open thirteen footer. these are like gold coins in pick-up ball. |
|
|
 |
stefan: you can't stop me.
mike: time to be humbled, buddy. |
 |
| benny sam convereted a reverse layup on this play. people complemented him afterward. |
 |
| a. brewer: a true point guard. |
 |
| harry k.: get your hand out of my face, stefan. |
 |
mike: time to take over.
ryan: you're not getting anything on me. |
 |
| peter launches a money ball. |
 |
robeks harry: at last, i get to play the point.
ben: get me the ball, i'm a scoring machine. |
 |
| taking it to the rack. offensive aggression is key to winning games. |
 |
miniature effect - a photographic feature on my camera.
andrew b. with the jumpshot.
|
 |
| alex: last one up the court, again. i'm getting too old for this. |
 |
| the floor general: let's move the ball around. |
 |
| nineteen footer. |
 |
| the lob pass. when executed by an adept passer and good finisher, it's an exciting, quick bucket. |
 |
| harry: i got this rebound. ryan: i dare you to shoot it over me. |
 |
| harry k. on the drive. |
 |
| break away, all alone. |
 |
| some r&r after a game. in the military, r&r means "rest and relaxation." |
a dunk captured in six frames
ryan: that's the way it's done, ben. ben: whatever, man. i can do a three-sixty off two feet.
 |
| will it go in? |
 |
| alex: my turn to play point guard. i'll make sure to walk it up the court. |
 |
| andrew b. on the break. |
 |
| mike: it's hard work looking this ripped. ryan: hurry up and pass it. |
 |
| a. brewer: ben, play some "d." benny sams: that word is not in my vocabulary. |
 |
| jumpshot. notice alex's all-out defensive hustle. |
 |
| dialing long distance. |
 |
| mike: okay, now it's time to dominate. ryan: oh, please. |
 |
| brewer with the fadeaway. |
 |
| harry taking it the hole. screens enable a dribbler to shake off a defender and attempt a high percentage shot. |
 |
quick thinking
ben sam: i'm open. mike: do i drive, or risk the pass in traffic?
a perfect situation for a bounce pass (it's easy for me to say this being a bystander; the credit goes to the boys on the court). i don't remember what happened. |
 |
| battle of the giants. |
 |
| alex: finally got myself a layup. |
|
 |
from downtown.
|
 |
| peter gets a layup. ryan did his best to swat it; didn't succeed this time. |
 |
mike with a hard-fought drive to the hoop.
|
 |
in the post.
olajuwon was the post-master. let's have a moment of silence to acknowledge that.
|
 |
mike doing the new monkey dance.
|
 |
alex: i'm going to score on this one. a. brewer: you're going to have to earn it.
|
 |
ben sam going hard to the hole.
|
 |
| jordan evolution 85. next time, i'm going to wear triple socks and two band-aids (instead of one sock and one band-aid). |
 |
| some weirdo was practicing layups between games with a bare foot. |
 |
michigan shorts: i was a fan of the fab five. basketball revolutionaries.
i'm giving a demonstration of the james worthy statue-of-liberty shot in this photo. |
 |
| DEE-fense. |
 |
harry: i'm ready to go home.
andrew: basketball is a team sport. like john wooden said: pass the ball five times before shooting.
stefan: whatever, man. i'm just out here for the exercise. |
 |
| riff-raf from three-point country. |
 |
my camera has a panoramic feature. the photos are taken one by one, then stitched together on my computer.
|
 |
| harry's done for the day. andrew finally gets up off his butt after giving a well-needed lecture on the virtues of distributing the ball. |
 |
wide shot. i like the foilage.
|
 |
| look closely and you'll see dopplegangers of alex, stefan, and drew from an alternate universe. |
 |
raph-man: you all know i'm the best here.
peter (in his head): should've made that three.
arnold: this guy needs to get a life.
benny sams: dude, i'm the best man. what've you been smoking? |
