  1. i'm so annoyed i had to miss this year's event. always a great weekend down at the island. love your documentation of day 1. look forward to seeing more. (regarding the post processing, they look good. but i'm a sucker for that "film look". some are maybe too "blue" and might need to be toned down a little though?) keep shooting!

  2. What a great weekend it was, mine was the wild violet XA GS in the background of one of your shots. My daughters had a great time cruising around in the little red and white 28 race pram I made for them
