"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.
I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
Rogers Hornsby
A tilt-shift "Collabo" with the partner in crime in honor of opening week of Baseball season. I was hoping to create the illusion of a replica Fenway Park in the old toy/model format.

I have recently created a group dedicated to Boston sports teams. I would love it if you became a member and added your photos.

The fake-ness of the photo is obvious because there is no clear line of focus that can be followed from one side of the frame to the other. If this were a real "tilt shift" photo there would be a perfectly sharp area to the left of the stadium.

"Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark. Everything is painted green and seems in curiously sharp focus, like the inside of an old-fashioned peeping-type Easter egg." (John Updike, "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu")

This is fantastic. I also wanted you to know, in case you don't, that Deadspin.com is using it as a part of an blog post titled, "Why Your Stadium Sucks: Fenway Park". This post was done Friday August 21st.

This is a fantastic shot of a great ballpark. I hope you don't mind that I used it as a backdrop for a fun photo that I did for the 100 Possibilities group. I have properly credited and linked back to this shot. If not OK, please let me know.
