Lacrosse: Sometimes “Slow” is Fast
Lacrosse is known as the fastest sport on two feet, because a transition from one end of the field to the other can take less than three seconds, and a shot on goal can rip at over 100 mph.
One way of ‘capturing’ the speed of the sport is by actually slowing down the shutter speed to show the different types of action that take place out on the lacrosse field…this photo was captured on a 200m lens at 1/20 of a second. Blasphemy!

Face-off Fashion
Twice a year, Bainbridge has a very special event – an old-fashioned vintage style flea market held at the historic Seabold Community Hall on the north end of the island.
Liz Le Dorze, who founded “Seabold Vintage Market” in 2009, keeps it intentionally small with just 4-6 additional local vendors in order to maintain a sense of community.
Yesterday’s event was especially remarkable because the sun came out after a week-long deluge allowing vendors to display an array of wares outside.
The next market will be held in the fall. Remember: if you want to get the choice pieces, you have to get there early! Many more photos below…

Lax is here…
It’s that time of year, the lacrosse season is upon us. Lacrosse is arguably the fastest sport on two feet. It’s also the only popular sport that was created by indigenous North Americans. If you think it’s hard for a pro baseball player to hit a 90 mph fastball from 18 meters away, imagine what a high school lacrosse goalie faces: a hard rubber ball screaming at up to 100mph with a wild bounce off the turf just 6 feet in front of you, without the benefit of seeing the pitcher’s wind-up! Add into that the speed of soccer, the contact of football and hockey, and the rhythm of basketball – you have one of the most exciting sports around. Lacrosse is as brutal as it is poetic.

My Generation
There’s no question that the rate of change is accelerating. Just this morning I was thinking, “My world was different from my parents’ world. But the world of our children – and the world they are creating – is far, far more different.” It’s a world that I can still sort of grasp but which, ten years from now, will probably have accelerated beyond my own diminished capacity for understanding. Then when I got to the airport, I saw the cover of Time magazine: “The Generation Changing the World.” Bingo. But not my generation. This generation.
The red eye from Saigon arrived at 7:00am, and I had about seven hours before the connecting flight was to leave for Seattle. The weather was beautiful. So I ditched the airport and took the train in to my favorite part of Tokyo, Shibuya – “crowded valley” – popularized by the film “Lost in Translation. Those Japanese are indeed interesting, funny people…
