A picture is worth 1,000 words
How exciting it is to have pictures to bring back memories of being a fan at a race. I admit I am now torn between relishing the moment and not taking pictures, or trying to capture the moment in digital format. Most of the time when I am being a fan out on the road, and the lead pack is coming straight at me, I choose to lower my lens and instead look in the faces of the riders. I want to feel the excitement, try to gauge how they are feeling, who looks strong, who is suffering. The experience passes so quickly. And yet I look back at these photos and realize - I was there, I was right there! What wonderful memories.
