the brown bomber's arm

this is the arm of the famous detroit boxer, joe louis (a/k/a the "brown bomber"). he was a symbol of freedom against nazi germany after defeating german max schmeling; also a hero to many african-americans during the days of segregation, according to research. a mini-bio can be found here, and another one here.

sadly, i can't find the exact stats of his arm measurements.

taken may 1, 2005.

downtown detroit, early spring

taken by shoving the camera out the car window and clicking.
i think it turned out nicely.

so there has been quite a lapse in updates. i'm trying to make time for a photo a week, or possibly 3 a month, with updates on fridays.
