Nah. I'm British - I have no time for the peculiarities of Welsh culture.

Two tourists were driving through Wales.
At Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybaarcudprindanfygy, they stopped for lunch and asked the waitress,
'Before we order, could you settle an argument for us please, and pronounce where we are...very slowly?'
The waitress leaned over and said: 'Burrr - gurrr - king.'

Sandeha,
High compliments for your excellent article and photos of poi spinners and the history behind them.
You have carved out a unique niche as a switch hitting hunter of a photographer that splits his time capturing daytime street performers and fiery night poi spinners. Both done in a manner par excellence.
I have spared you and the membership a much longer response that was in saga length when lost, when I checked the spelling of a word. I almost always forget to write NFf responses offline. I've reduced the lost tome from memory to these two sentences:
Consider two unique photos of two female mud slide victims taken by two press photographer, one local and one foreign. If judged at a photo exhibition for aesthethic values, without knowing the back story, which photo would win the better prize?
I tip my hat high in the air for the quality of your work, Sandeha. IIRC, the first street performer photo was taken with the Super Dolly, right?
I'll write more thoughts via a PM .

It was indeed the Dolly, Les. Well-recalled.
Shame that your post was lost - I always look forward to your thoughts.

I appreciate the fact that you explain in your narrative that one sometimes must shoot a lot of pictures to get workable photos. I tend to work a scene for whatever I can get out of it, even a landscape, because it always comes down to a point of view. Action photos are one of the most thought intensive types of photography, what with all the anticipation one has to calculate ahead of time. You have mastered the style.
