while thirdsun, with his fancy telephoto lens, caught some great shots of the actual swamp buggies in action, I concentrated on the Swamp Bugg
ees...if you will.
Sorry if there are too many but I took almost 600 pics that day. This is my favorite kind of photography, though, the candid street-type...I get carried away.
here is the Swamp Buggy Queen and her fancy dress court
this little girl sang her heart out on The Star-Spangled Banner (she really did), but note the rather intense Woody Harrelson-on-crack-looking fella on the right...he was the minister (hopped up on swamp buggy fever, I suppose) who said the opening prayer before the races started - he actually said, '
jesus, I love you soo much' at the end of it. Afterwards I leaned over and whispered to thirdsun
'i bet he slept with a hooker last night.' I'm not sure if he found that to be funny or not.

I stood there during it all much like Swampy there.
i have several pictures of this guy, mostly because he stood around in front of my seat a lot...smoking...
this was his girlfriend
my favorite shot of the day
this girl was really cute, but she was wearing some ridiculous sunglasses (the big sunglasses thing is getting a little out of hand)
mean girls?
thirdsun and the guy who seemed to have a man crush on him...he went on and on about his lens
this woman was adorable - and her lens was bigger than both of ours put together!
oh yeah, he sure as fuck did...
