O/T--current baseball, classic feel
 
Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>Ok, I know this is off-topic (my first ever O/T post), but during the course of my normal work as a newspaper photographer I found myself shooting a high school baseball game in Breaux Bridge, LA. H.S. baseball games kind of all run together most of the time photo-wise...all the hurricane fencing, new-looking seats, bleachers, field, uniforms, etc...but tonight stood out to me because the ballfield in this little town has the look of oldtime baseball. It made for a great setting to take photos around sunset, and I was very pleased to see several of the photos reminding me of age-old images. Just thought I'd share. If this is too far off-base, then please feel free to delete it. Happy baseball season everybody.<br><br><a href="http://www.theadvertiser.com/section/PERMGALL" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.theadvertiser.com/section/PERMGALL</a><br><br>Just click on the Breaux Bridge vs. Teurlings photo/gallery to see the photos.

Posted By: <b>David McDonald</b><p>Excellent pictures, Leslie. Classic indeed. Wish you had been around 100 years ago shooting some of our deadball heroes when they were schoolboys. Wouldn't that be something?<br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/June08/bilde.jpeg" alt="[linked image]"><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/June08/bilde3.jpg" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/June08/bilde2.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/June08/bilde4.jpg" alt="[linked image]"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/June08/bilde5.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>wouldv'e been a lot more equipment to lug around (or at least a lot more work to do), but it would have been oh-so worth it.
