But having spent the early years of my life living only two blocks from the &#8220;pits&#8221; of the annual Seafair unlimited hydroplane races, I still get a kick out of photographing these big, fast, if a bit balky, flying boats.

		<description><![CDATA[Seafair is Seattle&#8217;s annual celebration of people, boats and airplanes that spans two weeks every summer. There are a lot of neighborhood parades during a two-week span, but parade-wise, the big event is the Torchlight Parade that runs through downtown Seattle. Working for the organizers, I was tasked with making some compelling images showing smiling [...]]]></description>

Sorry for the caps lock, but that&#39;s what the alarm sounded like when it rang at 3:45 am, as my amazing wife and I struggled out of bed for a long day of work.
