Personally, I find these old chain link backstops kind of nostalgic and a real treat to photograph. I would visit the ones in this ball field pretty regularly up until about two years ago when they were removed as part of a huge renovation project. Where five baseball fields once stood there is now but one. Of course, soccer is much more popular these days than baseball is, so the change makes sense. This image was captured using an old Sigma DP1 camera. Believe it or not, I learned about the Foveon sensor from an old Art History professor, and picked up the DP1 as a cheap way to test the waters. Me like. These days I keep a sweet sdQuattro in my collection and I have my fingers crossed that the folks at Sigma keep producing new cameras.
