An outtake… a teaser.

FUN WITH FLOUR!

Double threat, Hammond junior Travis Clark throws hard on the mound and is a threat at the plate. He is photographed at the Hammond softball field (the baseball diamond was being used) Saturday, May 30, 2009.

For this shoot I had one of his teammates cake flour onto baseballs. I hid behind the softball field’s backstop and shot through the chain link fence holes.

At the end of the shoot, Travis wanted to hit the entire flour bag… with a ball inside it, of course. …who was I to get in the way of a young kid’s fun?

Unfortunately, his eyes were closed in this frame, and the ball went down instead of up. so… it’s an outtake. But you can bet your bottom dollars I’m trying this one again!

Stay posted for all the Howard County Spring Athlete of the Year portraits.
