My continuing obsession with taking photos of every outdoor basketball court or hoop in the city. (If not the world, excluding residences). Even though I've never shot a jump shot on this one, I can still dream. I can still wonder about all the games and dreams that were played out, here. I can still visualize every hour spent on this paved sacred ground while the Oregon rains fell.
My fascination with outdoor courts and hoops goes back to my youth and reading the book '
Foul' by
Connie Hawkins. The idea of taking photos though was something that came to mind after recently reading,
'Hoop' by Oregon author,
Brian Doyle, a collection of short essays about the basketball experience and life.
