Rollerskater jumping in Trocadéro Park, just in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Shot with my girlfriend's Lensbaby.
Paris, july 2009.
Not the clearest of images and one I'd usually not add to the page as its slightly off focus.
Thanks for all the views, please check out my other photos and albums.

He was singing something like: "Aliens are coming to take me awayyyyyy!" so I gave him some money. He's still at it, only now he has a different guitar.

Went for a free guided walk that ended up at the Greenwich Navel Museum, so I couldn't resist doing a Les Miserables tribute. (Actually a tribute to Jabberworks's tribute.
T-shirt number 6: Another freebie. Picked up at the 50th anniversary of the Rollerskaters of Paris. Not that I was skating. They were just passing when I visiting trivialbrioche.
Went to see some Philly Roller Girl action Saturday night with Christy and Sarah Davenport from Wilmington (a former Philly roller girl and a soon to be one again! Also a photographer who has captured the Roller Girls at their best).
I saw a Derby in Arizona a few years back and enjoyed it, though I had no idea how the game was played. Last night it helped to have Sarah explain as we watched, but there is still much that remains a mystery. It turns out that much of it is a mystery to the players, as well, so I don't feel so bad. :-)
I have no real experience shooting something like this, or action in general, so it was a challenge. I don't have the best equipment, but I tried. I took 144 shots and after going through them this morning I think I have 3 I would actually post here and 1 I might post via TwitPic as a joke. Not too bad. LOL!
It was a ton of fun and I was really impressed with how diverse the crowd was, something I noticed in Arizona but figured was particular to that area. It was great to see people from so many varied walks of life hanging out together. The women in these leagues are from all kinds of careers, too. You'd be surprised! The one thing they all have in common is that they kick serious ass (and I mean that literally and symbolically). They are inspirational.
This is a player from the Philly team the Philthy Britches, who wiped the floor with the Texas Hustlers (in the purple) that night. GO BRITCHES!
