Cracked Bell Pics - The Gallery Lives
The need to provide pics to the editors of the PCC newsletter provided the impetus for a few things - resurrecting the Gallery that fell to pieces, trying out the cool SD Card Reader/Thumb Drive (has a cover so you can lock an SD Card in and use it like a thumb drive) and popping in the 2GB SD Card I got for my camera awhile ago but had not yet installed.
Getting Gallery2 back was super-easy since my new host has some sort of automated installation gizmo for commonly used web apps called Fantastico that pretty much provided one-click installation. I still have some tweaking to do to make the Gallery a little easier to view, but it is at least functional for the time being.
I found photographing curling in action to be somewhat akin to shooting concerts - 2 people sweeping a stone pretty much look the same no matter what.
You have to instead look for more unique moments like Derek blowing his brains out:
Or Derek gleefully carrying a tray of Drambuie:
Or a father spending the weekend curling with 4 of his 5 daughters. 2 sets of twins, by the way. These are the people that clobbered us in the first game:
And, for posterity, the Potomac team that whipped us in the second game:
These ar unretouched/uncropped, so I may add some edited ones later on. Until then click the pic below or head over to the Gallery to see them all.
