belligerence

about a year ago, I attended a baseball game in brooklyn, new york, my hometown, and watched the Brooklyn Cyclones, the New York Mets' farm team, be completely demolished by the Staten Island Yankees. The final score was somewhere in the double-digits for the yankees, and close to zero for the cyclones. after the game, hanging out on coney island with much of my extended family who had all come up from New Jersey for the game, I took a picture of the top of the parachute tower. it was nighttime, and they had rigged it so that there were flashing lights and it emitted a slight glow. I got the idea to take a picture with a long exposure with a tripod, and got quite a nice picture. however, it was slightly empty, it needed a bit of brooklyn attitude, especially in reaction to that night's baseball whomping. so I, having not eaten anything yet today because I was hit with such a flash of inspiration, created this picture from it in the style of all those real and fake inspirational posters. enjoy.
