Tickets for the Game

Medina, Minnesota

These are tickets for the Minnesota Twins baseball game in a little over a week. I love baseball, and cheer for the home town Twins. This game will with Chicago will go a long way to determing who gets to the playoffs.
An added bonus - my daughter, who still lives with us, is a big baseball fan, and will go to the game with me. What more can a dad ask for!

Canon PowerShot G2

I guess what I'm realising is...and your post I think proves it....a picture means different things to different people. Some pictures shout love without a story. To me ...This is a picture of two tickets. I'm guessing by your 'go twins' that you are also a baseball lover so to you this picture *means* something - a shared love of baseball maybe. I think this is an interesting point about photographs and stories.

I guess I can see the love from the picture without the story.
The person loves baseball, and has bought two tickets, one for themselves,
one for a person they like/love. What's so hard to understand?

By the way...go twins

I get the love in this from the story, but not from the picture. I guess no-one said the picture had to convey the emotion of love, but that's what i'm looking for for my vote in this challenge. I think technically it looks good to me as a snap of the tickets to accompany the story. I have enjoyed experiencing the combination of picture and story in this challenge, but think the pictures should stand in iso-lation (ok pun intended !) too and not rely on the story alone. Just my two cents worth, hope you don't mind it.
