Best Pictures of 2004

[munimanpete]

Our local newspaper (The Nelson Mail) came out with an insert in the paper on the last day of the year called 'The best photographs of 2004' - basically they collected all the best photos they had taken during the whole year and put them in a 15 page insert in the regular paper. I was quite happy to see my photo in their from when they did an article on me, so obviously they see unicycling as pretty cool.
Anyway after seeing this I thought it would be cool if we all posted our best unicycling pics of 2004. They could be of you or anyone, just the coolest unicycling pics you've taken this year.
I don't have anything too amazing, but just to set an example here's one of me mid-unispin of a bench at Makara Peak in Wellington, courtesy of Tony Melton:

I had heaps of cool pics this year, but I particularly like this one from my Cambodia trip- one of the locals trying out my Coker:

And this one from the same trip- another local:

Too late at night to go through a resizing exercise, so I'll post the links instead to a few high-res gallery photos. These are my Top 5 of 2004:

It's a Gilby T-shirt design. You can buy one from Gilby through the web site or meet him in person at a convention and get one. It is a cool T-shirt.

That picture was at the public show at the Portland Juggling Festival in 2004. I was in the middle of a cold and not my usual jovial self. I didn't realize my bad vibes were emanating so clearly. But Tom has a knack for taking photos of me that make me look like a ghost or an evil being.

We've gotten quite a lot of mileage from this photo taken in east Tennessee. Its Tmorningstar (Tommy) atop Black Mountain. Its been in the paper, on tshirts, Birthday Cakes, etc... My new years resolution is to take more pix.

I like all of these.

Also, this one:




And this one:



All of the pictures in the link were taken in Philadelphia for a college student's portfolio and the two pictures displayed in this post are of JVTFM (Jim) and Kyle (aka Redneck/uniracer) respectively at New York Muni Weekend.

Good times.

Here is one of my favorite pictures from 2004 California MUni Weekend. Kris and others stopped to play on the rocks along the North Rim Trail in Tahoe.
