Woohooo!! Soapbox Derby!! I finally made it to Portland’s adult soapbox derby races. That’s two derbies in two weeks! It was so frickin’ fun. I shot some pix with my Canon 10D and a new Canon 50mm f/1.8 II Lens. It is really different shooting with a fixed lens, almost easier. I think it simplifies things quite a bit.

So, these peeps are just plane crazy! You wouldn’t believe the speed they were getting going down Mt Tabor. Last year I guess one of them got out of control and ran into some spectators. A woman got pretty hurt and later sued. Lame. I almost got my head taken off while taking a picture. Those little cars are quiet so, keep your head up!!

Hey, did you know Mt. Tabor is a dormant volcano? God I love this city.
