Mint Lake Open

Thinking maybe I should start doing tournament recaps after they happen, so I can look back at the performances at the end of the year. Anyhow, here’s my first crack at one.

I’ve skied at Mint a few times, but only at the Emerald Valley’s Northwest Championships tournament. This was the first one where our club wasn’t as required to do the work. I still helped out with scoring and judging, it helps to practice at a variety of locations, learn the quirks of the computers and whatnot.

Creative B&W Photography

Since I’ve taken to the hobby of photography, I thought I might take another photography class (the last one I took was in 2002). I also thought I might start posting the photos here on my blog. To liven things up a bit, I’ll post some highlights of one roll of film at a time.

Click the larger image to the right to see the album, or the square thumbnails to see a larger version of that photograph.

This first roll was taken at “the pond” where we waterski here in Eugene.
