Good Sport

Its tough illustrating stories with photographs and sometimes being creative isn’t even the hard part. The story du jour is about pants. Men wearing pants, men without pants and a judge that sued for $65 million because a dry cleaners lost a pair of his pants. Yes, a judge.

I tried to get the page editor, the guy who is in charge of the story to pose. He said no. I asked the managing editor and he looked at me like he was going to punch me. Time was running out and after varying the pitch a bit I convinced the paper’s best kept good sport Osker, to drop his drawers and sashay for the camera.

The shoot took place in the middle of the production department and it was over and done in less than couple minutes, but Osker saved the day by dropping his pants.
