GSL ExPo Run - 09

[Michael Slade]

I'm the guy hiding in the back left wearing a beanie. Anyway thanks again to everyone for the good times. Unfortunatly I can't provide pics as my camera was broken so all I had was a disposable one...

There is nothing like getting up at 4:30AM and hitting the road with 4 unballanced Swampers that are way too small for 5.29 gears (a loud 4000K RPMS!!!), an unballanced rear drive shaft, A huge freezing draft from rust holes, and a foul look from everyone passing me as I make my way down the interstate :bike_rider:


I can't complain though... At least I didn't start in Philly!

Yup, it can always be worse. At least you weren't ending up in Philly!

I'm the one wearing the shiny head and sunglasses on the Left, to the right of skylinerider. Hitched a ride with Kurt and enjoyed a shotgun seat w/ Michael (thanks again guys).

Took plenty of photos. Call it a new years resolution not to take six months to upload this year or just a random case of motivation (it was a great run!), but I've got some ready to share.

That little Olympus camera works pretty well! The shot of me and the camera is super sweet! Can I put it on my blog?

Thank You Michael, can't wait to collect some better glass for it. I'd be honored to have you use that shot. I have a few more of you metering the scene and changing a plate out etc, let me know.

Yeah, send me a few of me working there. They'll be some good shots for an 'object lesson' I'm going to teach my students about the following things:

1. Paying attention to details - it seems about 3 years ago I got my boxes of exposed and unexposed film mixed up. I was shooting film I had previously exposed 3 years prior...

2. Disappointment - it seems that the shots I made 3 years ago I really liked...one was of the trains re-enacting the famous Driving of the Golden Spike at the celebration they have annually. The other I haven't processed yet...I'm too disappointed to even think about it. Now they're both double exposed, which means I don't get to use the shot I made 3 years ago, but I also don't get to use the shot I made this weekend.

Very disappointed in myself.

I have some pretty killer pics too that I'll post when I get home. Including that other one I shot of you Michael (turned out excellently). It appears all that droppage finally is taking a toll on that Canon as only about 1/2 are even close to as vivid as they were in person and a lot were over-exposed... Doh!

Hey gang,

Just wanted to say what a great time I had yesterday with everyone. Thanks to those who 'jumped me', thanks to those who put up with my big camera, and thanks to those who will keep those neat places 'secret'.

I made two pictures yesterday. Here is one of them.

Chime in and remind us who you are in the shot. Me? I'm the one on the far right (not the dog).

Oh yeah, and be sure to post lots of your pics. I was on vacation yesterday.

My wife Rebecca, daughter Maci and i are on the far left.
Thanks again to everybody for the great day out.

I really missed out. I should have made the time to get the CB. Man that just looked like fun! I wish I could have made it. Now I am waiting for the next one!

Here are my photos. I had to resize and in some cases sharpen the resized pics using photoshop...
