I really like the shot of the octogenarian golfer.
<http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=187073> I like the squint
of his eye and the club against his cheek and his tight smile. He sure
looks great for an 86 year old. Nice shot... and it makes me want to go
shoot some color again. Great job, Lee. Also, I am game for the
self-portrait shots . . . /matt

This week
(http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation.tcl?presentation_id=52810)
I've
included a shot I just did for a magazine piece I'm writing (and
shooting)
called Masters of the Muniverse. It's about the legends around our local
public ("muni") golf courses. This guy is 86, plays every day and
happens to
be a seven handicap. He's had six aces and once shot a 59 at Vancouver's
first public course (a par-66) back in the '30s. He's holding a favorite
club of his ‹ some Walter Hagen artifact from a millenia ago. The other
shot
(Sleeping) may be of some interest to Neopan 1600 fans. This was shot at
1600 and souped in PMK pyro.
I was thinking, too, that one of these weeks (perhaps a specially
designated
week, like April Fools week), all the PAW participants should include a
self-portrait. Might make for a fun challenge. Whaddya all think?
Cheers,
Lee Bacchus
Vancouver.
