yes, those were certainly two of the most memorable pics from 2008. Glad to hear you will be returning, Bjcojak!
after briefly revisiting the 2008 Fremont thread, I decided to post these couple of pics as I'm not sure they ever made it in. They were not taken by me.
I will be there and hope to have a better experience than last year. I know that Gaswork Park will be well covered by other photogs, so I might locate a little further up the road this year. Anyway, I want to impress on people how fast all of this unfolds every year, and how in my view many photogs sacrifice a lot of personal enjoyment for the sake of obtaining pics. I would really rather not have my head buried in that little view screen the whole time I am there. To not actually see your subjects in the flesh is kind of the price you pay for what you do. I love looking over the pics afterwords, posting them, etc. That's what keeps it fun for me and why i won't be retiring anytime soon. But I just wish I could find a way to enjoy the event itself more rather than stressing out over my shots.
So.....but not to sound negative or anything. To be honest, I can't wait to get back up to Fremont, and every year I'm like a little kid on Christmas eve the night before the parade - can't wait to see what Santa drops in my lap THIS time around!
