Baller-in-Chief

(From The Tuskegee News Online)

Freelance photographer Wendell Rogers worked with Brian Summers of Atlanta to have a basketball made with President Barack Obama’s name on the ball, along with the United States seal on it.

Summer’s wife, Jocelyn F. Summers, is the chief of staff for First Lady Michelle Obama.

“We got the idea, because of the president’s love for basketball,” Rogers said. “We thought how great would it be for him to have his own personal basketball.”

Rogers met Summers during a special photo shoot for Senator Obama in Atlanta before he was elected president.
