Me. Age five. Elliot Lake, Ontario. Running away.
Realizing I will need supplies, I pack a suitcase. It contains a single action figure.
Being winter, I dress appropriately in boots, mittens, and a scarf.
I am wearing nothing else.
My mother, who takes this photo, is very supportive.
My father, on the couch in the background, seems less than concerned.
I open the door.
There is a full-on blizzard outside.
I go downstairs and play with my action figure.
didn't have a high speed camera to compare my running form barefoot (Vibram) vs. with shoes. So I used a stroboscopic flash to try to get an idea of it.
Kinda has a cool look to it. Need to figure out how to get it off-camera and do this. My Radio Poppers won't trigger the stroboscopic feature... Guess that's a TTL feature. :-\
From the sign:
"Running Eagle lived many years ago, long before European contact in the early 1700's [sic]. She was born here in the heartland of the Amskapi-Pikuni, next to the shining mountains. Running Eagle was a real mortal person, not mythical.
"Running Eagle's life story is an illustrious saga of leadership and many victories that are famous to this day. The story of her life was told by Pikuni elders in a true oral traditional manner. Running Eagle is the only young woman of the Pikuni people to have gone on a four day fast; to suffer, dream, pray and find her medicine. High above the beautiful falls, her vision was successful. This is a most sacred and respected site, named in her honor by the Pikuni people. In those early days only young men of certain societies had the special privilege to fast and receive their power.
"Running Eagle became a true woman warrior for courage and bravery in all her accomplishments and deeds. Running Eagle was a great horsewoman, a fast runner and an excellent hunter. She was kind, thoughtful, and a generous person. With precise perfection, Running Eagle made everything, including her spear, quiver, bow and arrows, all of her horse accouterments of those days. She was outstanding in her warrior-woman attire of white buckskin decorated with dyed quill work. She wore a splendid straight up eagle feather war bonnet and carried a shield.
"The true exciting stories of her prowess on war parties, raids, adventures, and counting coup unfolded many times in lodges throughout the land.
"In the time of her teenage years, Running Eagle became the head of her father's painted lodge after his death. It was then she raised her brothers and sisters, and took care of the extended family in accordance with Pikuni laws and traditions.
"Running Eagle was a tall and beautiful woman, with long black braids, and walked a straight religious path with grace, pride, and honor. Near her 30th year, Running Eagle went on her last raid across the Continental Divide, where she was killed by the Flathead in their territory.
"The Pikuni warriors brought her back to Upper Two Medicine Lake and buried her in a tree on the mountain overlooking the falls. The Pikuni people hold Running Eagle in very high esteem for her knowledge and wisdom, and the inspiring person she became."
Glacier National Park was established in 1910. In 1850, there were 150 glaciers in the park; now there are 25 active glaciers. It is estimated that by 2030, there will be no glaciers in Glacier National Park due to climate change.
Senshi running towards us. My sister and I were out at Ellwood walking and he got behind, started running at us and I grabbed my camera quickly. Sadly I was not ready to take a picture so it is not in perfect focus but a nice concept so I decided to post it.
Steve, running with a gun.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I played with it, gave it a motion blur. I think it maybe needs more of one, it doesn't feel like enough to me. Either that, or none at all. Whatever. I like the blue.
