Thanks!

Joey~ Hah, I know. The oddest part of the experience was that you see people who have money up the wazoo, and people spending their last two bucks all in the same place. It's fascinating if your into people watching.

Cart~ You know it! Most of the shots from the stands were telephoto, you can pretty much tell which ones~ the men with binoculars and the people with their racing forms. All of the other ones, the indoor shots and a couple of shots from the stands were standard 50mm.

Livia~ Thank you! That means a lot.

Peter~ Vintage all the way! LOL the ladies behind the counters were funny. The lady on the left was all about it, and the other one was like "Oh no he's taking pictures!" Then some other woman back there yelled out something like "ARE YOU FROM ISRAEL?" which left me like "..."
I guess everywhere I go I look like a tourist with this camera. The other day in Manhattan some dude said "You're from NY and you have a camera with you?" Just goes to show you how many people are lost in oblivion and are unaware of all the fascinating things they live amongst.
