A couple of POTN boys make the paper!

I'd like to express my thanks to Sledhed, for proving that someone you meet on the internet can be a really cool guy to shoot with.

I started talking to Sledhed this summer in the Sports Section and we eventually met up at a Cubs game.

Now we're sharing photo space on a full page of todays Sun Times!

(He lucked out with the first three, I'm the last one on the right.)

You can read the article here.

It's been a fun season Chris, I'm glad we met and I can't wait for next season!

Here is one of the two POTN boys at this years state football finals.

ps... I'm the good looking one!

Thanks for looking!

Now maybe with the money the Sun Times paid you, you can get some decent gear.

Actually that one belongs to Chris. My camera with an original first shipment strap is taking the picture thanks to a nice photographer on the sideline.

Thanks for looking!
