After the 2005 football season, Chelsea renovated its football stadium; among many other things, this renovation included a new press box. As high school press boxes go, it was functionally excellent. But as it turns out, it wasn’t yet finished.

Prior to this season, the finishing touches were put on the press box; these finishing touches included things like carpeting and individual lights at the desks, as well as a microwave and a small refrigerator. But it seems it still wasn’t finished; in addition to all those practical features, Chelsea’s athletic director had one aesthetic finishing touch in mind. So, early in the football season, he contacted me to ask about acquiring a particular photograph for the wall of the press box. And as of last week, that photograph has been printed and framed.

So now, when you walk into the main room of the Chelsea football press box, you will see this:

Some of you may recognize the photograph as the current background image of the football page of my business website; a few of you may even remember it from its brief appearance on my business card. Though it no longer appears on my business card, it still is one of my favorite pictures, and I am pleased to have it adorning the wall of the press box.
