New Flicker Account

Gary Luckham and Ray Britt, shot by Tom Norris

We've posted three sets on Flicker so that you can see and print any of the photos shot this year.  More photos are being added and for now we have a set of water shots, land shots, and the Raft Up shots.  Tom Norris took some beautiful photos of nearly every boat.  Because each photo file is very large, they are individually being taken into Photoshop and decreased to 1/4 of their original size so that they can be uploaded to the web.  Tom Kennedy, Blanche Stevens, Steve Harris, and Lin McCarthy have also sent in great shots.  We're adding them in batches to the Flicker account.  They can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/typhoon_nationals/ or by simply clicking on the Flicker link in this post.  Thanks to all.
