I was going to complain about how far behind in editing and scanning I've fallen, but according to the 'Manley' scale I'm actually completely caught up. Comments are welcome as always. Week 12/2001 - This picture was taken at the top of Mt. Haeakala on Maui. A family asked if I would take a picture of them, which I was glad to do. The father hands me a little disposable camera, but I couldn't seem to get the shutter to fire or for the film to advance. I handed the camera back to the man to see if he could figure out what was wrong. The young girl then immediately piped up that I could just take their picture with my camera. I agreed with that excellent suggestion and took their picture while the mother laughed nervously. The father eventually got the disposable camera working and I took a couple pictures with it. I have no idea who the people are or where they live, but I have their picture. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118291&p=4272276907&idx=12 Week 13/2001 - Here my friend John gives some last minute race advice to Todd in the starting area for the Couloir Extreme race at Blackcomb Mtn. B.C. The weather was pretty lousy with wind, snow, low visibility and flat light. I quickly shot off a roll with my M3 before I had to get ready for my run, but in my hurried and slightly nervous state I slightly overexposed most of the shots. There's a few more shots of the race in with the alternates. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118291&p=4272276882&idx=13 Week 11/2000 - This was shot out on the Edmonds fishing Pier near my office on one of my lunchtime walks. I kind of like the shot even if it is of someones back. As soon as I took the picture the man turned around and looked at me and then left. I guess even the sound of a IIIf shutter can be too loud and disturbing at times. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118247&p=4274070648&idx=11 Week 12/2000 - Another shot largely of peoples backs that I kinda like. This was shot on the morning they imploded the Kingdome. Large crowds gathered at various viewpoints to watch. Most everybody had their cameras fixed on the dome hoping to get a picture of the implosion while I just wandered around taking pictures of the people watching. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118247&p=4272275833&i Week 13/2000 - Yet another picture of my daughter playing at the park, but I kind of like it. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118247&p=4272275805&idx=13 Week 14/2000 - Last years Couloir Extreme race with much better weather conditions. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118247&p=4272275801&idx=14 To see previous weeks or alternates, PAW 2001 http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118291 Retroactive 2000 PAW http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293118247 Alternates http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293349509 Tom Finnegan Seattle
