I took the day off work to listen to Chris Santacroce teach an all day course on instructing paragliding. It wasn't anything I thought it would be. He retaught us some basic paragliding skills (pre-flight, aerodynamics, harness simulation etc) with ideas I hadn't heard or thought about. He also taught about teaching. I like teaching/public spenaking and count it as one of my talents. However, what he was teaching and the manner of instruction really got me thinking a lot about myself, specifically how I critique myself and portray myself to others. So many new things to consider it was hard to fall asleep that night. I'm very grateful he took the time to come visit us.
The following were shot with my Contax 645. It's a medium format film camera and I'm still learning how to use it. The film was Portra 400 rated at 200.
