So my two pictures for week 33 are summer images, albeit quite different from each other. The main picture was taken on a ferry across Lake Zurich, which is part of the regional commuter system. The trip takes about 10 minutes, and I am always on the lookout for interesting people. I spotted this cyclist and his unique outfit, a combination of a sleaveless shirt and a tatoo, with matching bicycle seat. So I did something unusual for me: I walked up to him, told him that he looked cool and asked to take his picture: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_33.jpg (M7, 35mm Summilux, Provia 100F) The alternate is from one of the many sunflower fields around here which are all in full bloom now. Mostly the growers sell them to people for decoration, at 1 Swiss Franc per flower, on an honor system (cut it yourself and put the money in a box). I drive past this particular field almost daily. http://www.wajsman.com/2002_33alt1.jpg (M7, 50mm Summilux, Provia 100F) I was toying with the idea of removing the utility pole and the wires in Photoshop but decided that it would violate my self-imposed digital code of conduct; plus, I am inherently lazy. The complete index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw2002.htm and comments/critique are always welcomed and appreciated.
