Can't-wait-for-the-weekend greetings, collector friends! Generally speaking, I'm not a TGIF kinda girl, but with two of my favorite fellas flying in from California on Saturday, and a long weekend of barbequing Upstate with a friends-like-family crew to look forward to... well, let's just say I am counting the minutes. And speaking of counting, today's new photographs from 20x200 MVP Don Hamerman make us just shy of a dozen of his offerings in our archives.

Shallow Left Center and No. 46 come from Don's beloved-by-many Found Baseballs series. Like many of our artists, Don gets a real kick out of the fact that 20x200 has gotten his photographs into the hands (and onto the walls!) of many collectors. Knowing that, I think he'll get a kick out of the tale that follows.

Loving writing newsletters though I do, inspiration about exactly what to say doesn't always come easy, especially when I've already had a lot to say about someone. Riding the train home last night, I was kibitzing with Team 20x200 superstar Stephanie Curran about how I needed to figure out what to write about today's editions. She was excited to hear that Don was up at bat, since she knows lots of friends who own or have given his prints as gifts. I'll close out today's announcement with an email she sent me later in the evening, telling the tale of one of Don's editions:

At Christmastime, a friend of mine found one of the unraveling Don Hamerman baseball prints on our site and immediately knew that she had to get it for her dad. A total pack rat, he has spent many summer evenings walking around the neighborhood golf course, pocketing found golf balls. Their garage was littered with buckets full of them, many busted and unraveling. Don's print reminded her of her dad, her neighborhood, summertime and growing up. The best part? He totally had the same reaction to it when he opened his Christmas gift, and the whole family had a good laugh about all the balls in the garage...

Psst! If you're looking for inspired gifts for your own gift-giving, there's a secret, super-limited stash of framed prints available right now.
