About the photos:
Except for Michelle Kwan and Sarah Hughes, the photos of skaters on the ice are not arranged in any order, and in many cases, I don't even know their names.
Please be aware that I used the 2003 National Championships to field test my new digital camera, and my photos got better as the week went on.
In all the photos I took during the first five days, the ice has a dirty gray hue and the skaters sometimes look like they're in shadow.
This is because I didn't know enough about what I was doing to set the exposure compensation. In all the photos I took during the last few days, the ice looks nice and white.
In all the earlier, darker photos, I have tried to compensate by brightening the image. It's not a perfect solution, so you will probably still be able to see the difference. My apologies for the lack of quality.
