As I was walking out of the Relay for Life, I met Team St. Louis! This name obviously caught my eye because of the many trips I make there. I stopped and asked if they were FROM St. Louis. But, nope.
It was just a team name with very special significance.
Meet Cheri
Meet Sherie
Meet Bev
They were here to remember Andre who lost his battle with kidney cancer in Oct, 2007.
Finally, I set up and did some time delayed images. I liked that people could walk right through the frame and leave just a slight trace in the image. The flourescent wands and neclaces left a nice trail, too. Almost like ghosts of those remembered are there watching.
Actually, the image below was a complete accident. I clicked the shutter, set on BULB, and was moving the camera around. What you are seeing are the luminaries, blurred because of my camera movement.
I stopped this image just as these people were in the frame.
I rather like the trail left by this walker!
My sincere thanks to Cheri, Sherie, Bev and the hundreds of walkers and volunteers.
Good for you! I've not done one of those but did 40 miles on my bicyle for a diabetes drive (older bro R. developed diabetes after a debilitating motorcycle accident that kept him prone for a year with multiple surgeries).
ReplyDeleteBig hug to all the many who assisted with this, and to you as well.
