AXO - 365

Inspired by Flickr's "Project 365" and my friend Kathy, I will attempt to post one picture per day for a year starting August 1st 2007. Sometimes the pictures will be artistic, sometimes they will be things that were important to me on that day and other times they will just be pictures of things I thought were funny. I am sure a lot of poorly shot, poorly composed photos will be taken, but hopefully so will one or two great ones.

#256 Street Fighter


256/365, originally uploaded by AXO - 365.

Feeling better today, went to the gym for my Saturday boxing lesson. It was crazy hot in the city so we rolled up the garage door and stood just inside those metal bars trying to get some air. P held pads and I gave them a good working over.

It felt a bit like a scene from 'Rocky', working out in a no nonsense boxing gym under the freeway, with the street and the dumpster right next to you, with a crazy boxing trainer yelling out combinations to throw and shouting things like 'Make him miss....you gotta make him miss before you make him pay'. Homeless people were walking past and shouting random words of encouragement as the sweat dripped and the punches flew.

Certainly a far cry from my 9 to 5 yuppie job behind a desk.
