“When it’s played the way is spozed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, elevated above the floor, levitating the way oppressed peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.” ~John Edgar Wideman

When my mom an dad first started dating, occasionally they would go out to the local park, find a well positioned wooden bench, and just sit there watching people walk by. They always found it very entertaining and it always gave them something to talk about.
After I left college, I worked a downtown office job and every once in a while I would go to the park on my lunch break and sit on one of the many park benches there with complete strangers. It was a lot cooler than eating lunch in the break room with co-workers.
Many times I’ve hiked in some pretty far out locations only to find that someone has put a lone wooden bench in the exact location where hikers may need a rest. The view tends to always be great too from that location.
Although somewhat cheap and simple, park benches help provide entertainment, build relationships, offer comfort and rest, and contribute to life’s memories.

I recently just got back from the island of Borneo in Malaysia. It was very hot and humid while I was there and one weekend, for some reason, I decided to head out in the middle of the afternoon on a hike with a few of my friends. It wasn’t a short and easy hike but luckily it was by a stream, so we thought. It not just didn’t keep us cooler, other than our feet, but the trail slowly disappeared as the water washed it away the farther upstream we got. None of us knew really where we were going other than the fact that a few locals had showed us where to go hiking. We were also told there was a waterfall at the end of the trail, which kept us motivated. That was the only reason we set aside all sanity on this hot, humid afternoon to toil our bodies along the trail to hopefully find this amazing waterfall at the end. If it had been any other hike, there was no way we were going to go, but that word waterfall made all the difference. We just hoped by waterfall, the locals didn’t mean a little trickle off the hill.
After over an hour and half of trudging through a trail that had seemingly gotten worse and more nonexistent, we were wondering if this waterfall was worth it when we heard a sound. The rumbling of water crashing down into the water below gave the distinct recognition that a waterfall was just around the corner. This renewed our energy had no trouble walking that last quarter mile to which we came to this magnificent waterfall in the middle of the jungle. The atmosphere was completely changed and we jumped into the pool below the falling water to cool off and enjoy the prize at the end of the trail.

I was never into clowns as a kid. I always thought they were more creepy than cool. Watching the Joker in Batman when I got older reaffirmed my views on the subject. I do admire the fact though that a clown can be both fun and scary at the same time. As a photographer, you have the power to show the mood of the clown all dependent on how you set the photo up.
Here are 19 examples of clown perspectives.
