In what's becoming an annual event, I took Benjamin to see the Harlem Globetrotters vs the International Elite for the basketball World Championship at Patriot Center. The Globetrotters are always a great show and seeing Benjamin smile and laugh while watching the game and antics by the Globetrotters is priceless. Last year we saw the Globetrotters at Verizon Center, this year was Patriot Center's turn and next year we'll probably make an entire day in DC around their show at Verizon Center.
Enjoy the pictures. For a slide show, just click on a photo and enjoy!

Just got to say your pictures are awesome...so much better than mine turned out. I think you must have even been sitting close to where I was. Any tips on how to take such good photos? BTW what kind of camera are you using. Just love them.
Hi Aimee, thanks for stopping by! I use a Nikon D90 with a Nikon 80-200 f2.8 zoom lens. The Patriot Center where I shot these is pretty dark midway in the arena so I bumped up the ISO to about 1600. After I downloaded the shots, I used Photoshop Elements to adjust the color and contrast.
Hope this helps.
