WNBR 2009

[Pedro the Fisherman]

I love some of those night shots, but I still think the UK has the edge in sheer number (at least in daylight), luckily Brighton (and to lesser exstent London) had the best weather for the past two weeks in he UK (70F and sunny), Manchester actually got , for the first time in 3 years! Someone made a complaint about nude men being seen by children! Perhaps these people who complained should not take a vacation in Brighton, with a ride of 700 plus!

The estimate from Portland was 5000 riders..! Ok, I know its at night, but good portions of the ride were well lit by streetlights, and that helped to make it just about as exciting as if it were held in daylight, especially if you were viewing at close range (try inches....the main benefit of so many riders may be the packing density you can acheive!!)

The pics from Brighton so far are everything that I expected, Pedro, given your heads up about the recruitment, etc.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your pics and report!

for what its worth, here are a few of my snaps from the Portland night ride. It was all flashless photography.....the best I could do under the circumstances.

These are as is. I didn't try brightening them or anything in Photoshop. give it a whack if you are so inclined.

the girls in the fifth pic were dancing. I love it when this type of thing happens spur of the moment....

These are great pics. Also, I'm sure Photoshop could make them even better. I just used the "auto correct" function in MS Office Picture Manager and it did this:

Here are some Chicago pics. As with last year, the painting party was well documented, but it's not anywhere as awesome as last year. As you can tell, the crowd is a lot smaller, fewer people are getting naked and people aren't partying as much--all probably attributable to the cold weather.

Still any painting party pics are good painting party pics.

The girl in pic #7 is gorgeous. Hopefully we'll get a better view when more pics come in.

If you want an idea of how cold it is, check out what the blonde girl is smuggling underneath her sweather in Pic 8.

A few more of the Chicago painting party.

Here are the last few of the painting party, then a couple of the ride, of which there still aren't many decent photos.

The 4th pic here fall into the same category as a photo I commented on in the Portland ride. There should be a rule that if a girl isn't going to go fully nude she should at least make it sexy. I love the cutout look.

A mixed bag of North American photos.

Pics 1-2 are from San Francisco.

Pics 3-4 are from Mexico (Mexico City I believe).

Pics 5-6 are from Vancouver. The thumbnails don't look like much, but there's some nice nudity when you full size them, since they're such huge photos. That's one of the weird things about photohunting now. When you're scanning flickr it's hard to tell how good a photo could be when it's full size. Sometimes what looks like just a bunch of small bodies in the background take up your full screen once you englarge them.
