Subject: [Leica] Baxter the Hooper for PAW#23

There is a local group of hula-hoopers who have taken this children's game 
to new heights.  They make their own extra-large, extra-heavy hoops and 
bring them to various local events where they show off their talents and 
have them available for others to play with.

I've photographed them a couple of times in passing, and this last week I 
brought them an 8x10 of one of the shots I'd taken 
(http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/Pix2003/pages/hoopers.html) and introduced 
myself (following some excellent advice gleaned from the LUG.)  They were 
very pleased with the print, we chatted for a few minutes, and then they 
started hooping and I started shooting.

This week's PAW is a 21mm shot of Baxter doing his thing with his hoop.  It 
was a little scary getting that close:

The alternates are also of Baxter, but a little safer as I used a 90mm:

Thanks for looking/commenting,
Aaron, who isn't Adam :)
