Yes a few are less strong I've just done 2006 and 2007 and those were years
with not many bikes in them. I see there are 31 in the gallery now I can see
only eight making the final cut.  Most have been in there too long they
start to fade...But I could be way off. For me it will be exciting to see
how they all boil down.


I just feell like putting in now that on the internet photo lists there
actually are a loud contingent of very self righteous people who think that
the act of editing down pictures is weak. That you should shoot less. Be
very careful not to "over shoot".
This certainly flies in the face of anything you'll learn from any photo
teacher or from experience as an assistant or shooter but one has to realize
that's just not the point at all.  Image making is just not the point.
