I'm pretty sure I responed and thanked Wade and Richard, but I never saw
it in my mail or in the archives.

Sassy, Richard ... that's what they can be :-)

That was a tough week-end. The skaters are hammering away at my web-page
waiting for the shots to come up. I pick a lot, because the judges like to
see the various formations too and use the pictures to discuss, among
themselves afterwards and in training programs, the standards for judging
points.

To give you and idea ... my pages usually have a couple hundred hits a day
between PAWs. After the competition, there have been around 13,000 hits a
day.

I'm going to be the official photographer for the world championships in
April. THAT will be tough. The younger ones are fairly easy to predict.
They have to do a certain number of formations and you can feel them
coming.

The senior team, usually world champions, sometimes number 2 ... they do
the same formations but in blazing speed. They don't waste time on them.
They explode from one to another and if you don't have your timing there,
you're lost.

One team is bad enough, but the world championships ... there will be ONLY
teams that good there.

Thanks again, guys.

Daniel
