I play Disc Golf, and enjoy it a great deal. I also enjoy photography, and have a camera with me most of the time. Sunday just gone saw the 2015 Chick Flick (a tournament focussing on female players) here in Perth, held at the Rob Hancock Memorial course, and I decided to concentrate on recording the event, rather than playing. Although the name and entry classifications are rather jokey ("Chicks", "Not Chicks", and "Not Chicks Dressed as Chicks"), actual play is pretty darn intense, and scoring divisions were split along more traditional lines, with Women's Open and Advanced, and Men's Open, Advanced, and Rec divisions. Play was two rounds of 12, followed by a final 6 for the top-card Women's Open players. We had 11 women playing - which was a great turnout, given the quite small size of the Perth disc golfing community. As you can see from the photos, conditions were ... challenging, to say the least, with gusts over 50km/h and pounding rain...
Privacy is an interesting subject. My Kid's pay lip service to privacy they will share everything and anything to each other over the net. if you say something to them it will get shared and discussed by all their friend's.
ReplyDeleteWhen you pull em up about it they just shrug. when i say whatever you say is gonna be recorded and could be used against you they just laugh.
I wonder if our generation's paranoia about privacy will survive. i certainly don't share private things over the net.
Governments are secretive but only about their own stuff, companies are secretive but only about their own stuff.
But the new generations are being groomed to be not worried about privacy, it's a concern for me but maybe not for them.
