2016 World Figure Skating Championships - Men's Free Skate - The press, particularly the Asian press, could not get enough of skater Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan. He had not yet set foot on the ice, yet the press photographers were aiming in anticipation, while the crowd amused itself. Submitted for the Sunday Challenge: Photographer. The quality of the shot is less than satisfactory due to the lighting conditions requiring a high ISO and arena rules which did not permit the use of monopods by non-press photographers. Alas, I do not have access to the cameras and lenses that these professionals have. AIMG 2691

Pawtucket Red Sox Game. The PawSox are the Triple A minor league feeder team for the Boston Red Sox. They play very good baseball in a family friendly enviroment where the line for ice cream far exceeds that for beer. A ticket along the first base line costs $11 which is a bargain compared to the Boston Red Sox price for a similar ticket of $90. The PawSox played the Toledo Mud Hens and won, sending the local fans home happy. AIMG_5590
