Test Day

These two tested for a new belt and they both made it.  They struggled a little, but they enjoy the lessons and were very happy to have passed.

Seeing Through A Glass Darkly

In my friend's house, there is a panel of these wavy thick panes of glass alongside their front door. I thought of it the minute I heard what the special assignment was for Thursday. So these are a few of the images I made with that great glass.

That was all I was going to post. But my friend Jackie is taking hula lessons and she asked me to come to her class and video one of the junior instructors as she was leading the class during one of the dances. The tallest girl in the back with the blond hair is the one I videoed. She was really amazing.

As I was getting ready to leave, I saw the class get together for this group shot. I grabbed my camera and got it going as quickly as I could. I didn't want to use flash, so it's at 1600 asa, and still isn't very sharp, but it got the shot. How cute are they?

I tried for a second shot, but they were too quick for me.

Here the girls are sitting listening to the closing instructions.
