I was coming down with some internal crud or other and the early shots reflect that; I apologize.<\/p>\n

Moving slowly all morning, I got there far later than planned, and had little chance to pick a good spot or get everything set up before the show started.<\/p>\n

Throw in the dark spot on the left side of the stage that required extra love and attention all morning, and I think I missed as many shots as I got in the first two classes.<\/p>\n

(For what it’s worth, it was almost three weeks before I got over whatever that crud was.)<\/p>\n
