Harlem’s Soccer Savior - or at least one of them - Irv Smalls sent me the above photograph a few weeks ago, and it’s sat as my computer wallpaper ever since.

I’ve been wanting to use it here at TIAS, but have yet to find a tie-in. So today I made one:

CALLING ALL PHOTOS!! Send me your best soccer photos and once enough come in, I’ll throw ‘em up and let everybody vote on their favorite (I’ll come up with some sort of prize when it comes down to it).

All the big men’s tournaments are over for the year, so get out from in front of the Spanish channel and take some photos of the beautiful game!

We’ll call it the Photo Diary Project, a spin-off from our first Diary Project - where readers wrote their soccer experiences for me to place in this here virtual time capsule. By the way, that project is still open. Here is one of my favorite past examples:

Brothers In Arms

GET WRITING! GET SHOOTING! YOURS COULD BE NEXT.

Do you have the photo in a larger version? I’d love to have it for my computer wallpaper too.
