A view from above

This will be the last entry of the weekend for me. I provided pictures and thoughts right up to the start of the race. I am now in the press box and am finding it difficult to concentrate on anything but the race.

I will continue to take shots from up here and will upload them tomorrow. I am hoping to get some images that television doesn't capture.

This weekend was really tough work and I have a new-found appreciation for journalists and photojournalists. They make it look effortless and I am here to say that it is far from easy.

Because I want to try to put together a slide show for you, when I was trying to get audio, I was also holding the camera to get an image to go along with it. My hair is long and while I was juggling both pieces of equipment, I was quite busy making sure strands of hair didn't go in front of the lens.

I would then come back, download the pictures onto the computer and try to select the ones that I felt you would like to see.

Here are a few more pictures...I will have more tomorrow also.

That's all for now, I want to go enjoy this race!

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
