This is going to be longish, so if you don't like long stories/explanations, just click down to the url's and comment on the photo (or don't, if you don't want to, but then why'd you open the post if you didn't want to, right?).
So, first night of CMWC (Cycling Messengers' World Championship), a couple of hundred of us are at a bar, and someone jumps me from behind and gives me a big bear hug. It's Tofu, currently in London (as in England), formerly of Toronto. We were pretty good friends in Toronto, but sort of lost touch once he left for the UK. I had no idea he'd be at CMWC, and neither did he expect me. It was a great surprise! We pretty much hung out all weekend, except when we were racing. During his first qualifier, I was busy losing my sprint, and since I didn't know he was racing (the times were all screwed up due to delays), I stayed at the sprinting area to watch those. I was quite relieved when we found out that he made the finals the next day, as I really wanted to get a couple of pix of him racing. I did get a few the next day (Sunday), and luckily two or three of those turned out in such a way that I was happy. So, here they are. I don't usually do two PAWs at once, but I really can't choose which I like the best. Here's Tofu in the Warehouses (of Jersey City): http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3518501&size=lg Here's Tofu Leans into the Corner: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3518514&size=lg They aren't spectacularly sharp, but I rather like both - don't forget these are scans of 4x6 minilab prints - I think they'll show better when blown up properly. If you have a preference, I'd be interested to hear it. If not, but you still want to comment, I'd like that, too... <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
