Market People

Markets are not just about things. They’re about people.

Here are some of the vendors – and a few customers – of yesterday’s “local market” by Remodelista in the Georgetown area…

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!

Okay, let’s just do a little poll here. Which do you prefer? Shorts or longs?

These were both taken at the Lakeside School over a span of 32 years…

Seabold Vintage Market

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.

The last in my series of yoga animals. I promise. Xena did, however, appear earlier on Qamera, and the second photo here is a reprint…
