BPOB - Picture Gallery - Dateline . . . . .February 25th, 2005
This match/gathering took place in the White
Fathers ground, on Tuesday December 28th.
A kind of ‘blow the undigested turkey out of
the bloated system’ exercise.
I don’t know how people feel about such
detailed exposure of their ‘leisure activities’.
Is anyone watching? Does anyone care? Should anyone
be interested? Could anyone give a XXXX?
‘Healthy pursuit’!
Yea, except that some are less inclined to pursue
than others.
And the evidence is incontrovertible.
There are too many pics to bother with
captions.
Besides, some of the captions write themselves.
Some others
are best ignored.
Some might be defamatory.
It is rather informative to look at the people in
the background, and see what they are doing (or not, in many cases).
-- Joe Darcy, on the phone in the middle of a match;
-- the loneliness of an abandoned goalkeeper;
-- Brian ‘Mr. Perpetual Motion’ Miller standing around in at
least half of the pictures;
-- ‘Waller’ seemingly always
looking the other way when the ball is close by;
-- Mick Murphy making a deep impression on the battered world;
-- damning evidence of John Morrissy’s ‘wandering’
arms;
-- the first appearance of the 2 newest ‘old
boys’ >> Colm Lakes and Mark Fox
-- the Sisyphean futility of 2 men rolling a
dumb object across the pitch
Just to give some idea of scale:
The original digital images, in their native
uncompressed, high-res format are quite large -- measuring approx
30” x 23”.
Naturally, those sizes are dramatically reduced, as
is the resolution, to allow them to be viewed with reasonable clarity,
and quick download, from the website.
Where possible, when cropping the images, I tried
to allow the true scope of certain panoramas to reveal themselves.
To
display a broader spread of the team formations.
To enhance the
dramatic ebb-and-flow that is the true Bushy Park football match.
To
capture the little idiosyncrasies that players exhibit.
To answer some
questions.
To pose some conundrums.
And to best show the ‘athlete supreme’
that is Mick Murphy, striding across an empty landscape.
Anyway, . . . . . . . . . .
If, for some perverted reason, you quite fancy (not
in the Biblical sense) some image you’ve seen, and wish a copy of
it: Contact the Merchandising Manager, and, for a ducat or three, we
might provide a copy of the original.
