A couple of outtakes from my shoot for SLAM Magazine with NBA All-Star and new Brooklyn Net Joe Johnson in his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Down there I met with Arkansas based writer Evin Demirel. Together we spent the day with Joe as he was hosting and playing in a 3 on 3 tournament that aimed at giving back to the community of the town he grew up in. The photos above where shot walking around the historic site of Little Rock Central High School that Joe attended and played for when he was younger. The proceedings of the tournament are slated to help pay for tuition for the students of Arkansas Baptist College, just a couple blocks away from the High School. Go check out the story currently out on the Newsstands so you can read all about it!

Thanks to Melissa for the assignment, Evin for a wonderful time down in Little Rock and Joe Johnson for his time and hospitality. Good luck to him as he moves to Brooklyn to play for the Nets!
