RANDOM PHOTO BLOG PT.1

2/15/2016

I was going through my little compact system camera, the one I have been traveling with recently, and I found some serious randomness: from shots of fruit in Chamonix (last March), to railroad tracks in New York (this October/November), to the tree-tops in the hills of Cortina. In part 1 I will post the photos I found from March through November of 2015. There will be color on top, B&W on the bottom. What do you see? (the photo above was taken at a metro/train stop in NYC)

Your most recent post asked why (or even who) I would I read your posts. For me the question could be read, "what is it about LR that brings me to her page to look, learn, be amused and read"? I don't know all of what is behind it but I'll say that my recollection of how it started is you sort of just burst into my conscience (as a fan of ski racing) the very first time that I saw this dread haired newbie to the FIS race circuit laying it down on the race course. I thought " here is a horse of another color" (respectfully:). You did really seem to pop out of nowhere. It was just impressive: talent, individuality and flair.
So, how's that for a starter explanation?
I'll add one more comment for now and it has to do with your acceptance (my interpretation) of the fear that may be present in any one race. I don't know how racers do it. I certainly have my limits (speed/danger etc.) and they're not near to yours or your fellow racers. However, while reading your blog, I was reminded of a saying that Eric Jackson, World Whitewater Freestyle Champ had that his father told him. I believe that Eric's confidence in his ability to perform and to deal with the dangers of class 5+ rapids is related to or is in some part built upon what his dad had said..."Worry is interest paid on a debt that may never be collected". Easier said than to apply, I know. But maybe this little nugget will mean something to you somewhere, someday or somehow:)
Best regards and wishes for you in all aspects of your life. Pointless, I'd think not:)

Beutiful pictures! I am happy I found your photoblog and website! There is a lot to read there! No way I can read all those thoughts in one sitting! That's good, I can always come back to read more! :)
I have never really been into skiing, but I happened to watch on March 13th, 2016 and I was absolutely blown away by your 2nd run! (the only one I saw before the end of the show)
The way you seemed to be balanced and collected on the ragged edge all the way down really blew right through me... enough so that I googled your name and found your website. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures! Hope you will continue and keep sharing streams of consciousness! Best of luck with everything! :)
