No big deal, just The Flaming Lips and Barry Switzer playing football

An Oklahoman photographer teases us with a taste of his project following Barry Switzer, The Flaming Lips and Desmond Mason around the Sooner State.

You’re going to want to pay attention to Josh Welch, an Oklahoman photographer who took the above image as a part of this project:

This past December I spent two days photographing legendary OU coach Barry Switzer, the Grammy Award winning band The Flaming Lips, and former OSU and NBA great & current artist Desmond Mason, as they traveled around OKC together.

This can only end with Switzer wearing skinny jeans and a full beard, which means it can only end well. Like Josh Welch Photography on Facebook to stay updated on the project.
