Some photos from playign around with an old SLR camera found at a
church basement rummage sale.

www.ag384bn.bravehost.com/film0111x.jpg is a fast shutter photo to stop
the action of vegetation on a windy day but also water pulsing over a
dam out of a pond. To the naked eye the water seems to flow smoothly
over the dam. Must be the same in river currents at the head of rapids
and in chutes but we can't normally see the pulsing action.

www.ag384bn.bravehost.com/film0124.com is a fellow decked out in cheap
btu fashionable paddlign custume with sex appeal. The headgear is a
Salvation Army bicycle helmet. The neoprene body suit is a $1 church
rummage sale find from appearances never used. The sneakers are also
church rummage sale $1 specials. Funny thing about teh body suit, so
long as you don't move in the water it works, even provides enough
bouyance to help floatign immobile on water surface, btu as soom as you
start to swimm water pours down the front ending any insulation value.
Good arm movement but better wear a t-shirt of PFD over top to cut
water flow. The paddle is a paint roller extension handle and a
discarded aluminum snow shovel good for apddling, poling, and with
slight modification, spearing fish. The $25 one-sheet boat is
surprizignly strong and rigid. Promis here for home made paly boat thyp
kayaks.
