Kathy Snead - caught

I have been totally absorbed in decommissioning my home office this week after many years of practice and came across this.  I skated well into my later years .  One morning , I went out to get the morning paper (Rocky Mountain News) and found myself on the cover!  I was publicly outed as I had been using my lunch hour to skate at a nearby rink.  The photographer later told me that he had been on the roof of an adjoining building and hurried down to catch me after he took this but by the time he got down I had hurried off to return to work.  Well most people at work took this well :0.  Generated many laughs and phone calls at the time.  Since it is "artsy", I thought I would post it here.  

PS... For some reason the site here puts the photo as a horizontal, rather than a vertical.  Original was a vertical

Kathy, congrats on making the press, and commendable work for the photographer. Reminds me of what the masterful Alfred Eisenstaedt might have done. I'm guessing it was rotated CCW, but the horizontal framing works great to include your shadow.

Love this! skating, law, photography - you're truly multi-talented!
Great story and very graceful image, and the shadow takes it over the top..
