My First Trophy
Week 46: Inanimate object with a story
Here's the story ~~ I started shooting skeet (shooting at clay targets with a shotgun) 1n 1949, when I was 14, and made it onto our club's 5-man skeet team the next year, when we won the Massachusetts All Gauge (12 gauge) 5-man team championship. I was the only kid on the team, and it was one proud moment when I was handed this mug as a trophy. As I remember it, I broke 95 out of 100 targets and placed 3rd out of the five.
I guess this would also be good for Week 45: Light from a Window. Sort of... I took a spot meter reading off a small section of the mug, which exposed the mug correctly and overexposed the bright background light from the window..
