Ben Bowers: This guy needed a trombone, so I made one for him
Note: Ben Bowers, Ada High School student, joins the Icon staff in July. His Icon assignment is to photograph the unusual - and the usual - things he spots in town.
Viewers will find his photos ranging from the, "Why didn't I think of taking that photo!" all the way to, "Where exactly is that in Ada?"
On a recent trip to the Ada Flea Market, Ben picked up this Italian decanter. At some point in its past, the sword must have been misplaced, so Ben sculpted a trombone for him to hold onto.
