Hi Folks,

After several painfully busy weeks/months, I defended my PhD dissertation 
on Wednesday.  It went well, I passed, and I'm _very_ glad to have it 
behind me.  :)
(The before shot, taken by my wife using my M6TTL, is at the top of my main 
page: http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/ )

As part of the celebrations, I spent Thursday night doing two things that I 
feel like I've done very little of recently: 1) I got outside, and 2) I 
took some pix.  I could feel myself relaxing as I rotated the 
only-slightly-stiff focusing ring on my summitar collapsible, squeezed the 
release on my M6TTL, and stroked the film advance.  Nice therapy.

My PAW this week is from that outing...I caught up with a group of hula 
hoopers I have photographed before, only this time one of them was doing 
something different...I'm having trouble editing down to one, so I'm 
showing two photos, taken a few moments apart:

I'm curious what folks think...preferences between the 
two?  Both?  Neither?  All points of view welcome.

Hope all are well,
Aaron
