Its no secret, I love taking pictures. Not sure why, but I've always loved it. I still consider myself a rookie to be honest. Never really had any formal training except a little in High School. Used to develop my own film, stuff like that. Boat races are fairly new to me, and I'll tell you, its a challenge. Tons of respect to guys like Mark McLaughlin and Darren, , Scott and Tom. You have to be a lunatic to stand in the sun for hours waiting to capture that moment that you hope no one else caught. And I'm not talking about crashes. It isn't uncommon to spend 8hrs a day, for three days in a row on your feet with your eye peering through the lens, waiting, snapping. And waiting. And snapping. And waiting.
And that's the easy part. You then have to sift through sometimes thousands of photos looking for that pic you hope you caught. Sometimes this process takes days or weeks.
In a very short period of time, 3-4 years, I've managed to capture somewhere around 50,000-60,000 photos. And that doesn't count phone pics. Add another 10-20,000 to that number. I have a 3TB + 2TB external drive that is almost full. I can't imagine how a guy like Mark deals with all the photos. Photos you dare never delete for various reasons.
I had a little spare time this morning and started putting together a few of my favorites. Many of these have never been posted before for various reasons. Thought I would share since its winter and I'm absolutely dying to go to a boat race, boat show, or even do a little boating.
Enjoy

You have some keepers there for sure...
I will reply back with some of my faves in a bit...-In a Republic, the sovereignty resides with the people themselves. In a Republic, the government is a servant of the people, and obliged to its owner, We the People..
