Revelations From WRTC2002

I went to Finland during the WRTC2002 and mingled with the crowd, took many beers and even more pictures. What I was not aware of, this brand-new hi-tech camera I used, apart from recording the images, did record also captions. I discovered it later, while transferring files to my computer, that every image had an attachment to it. I investigated the camera and found out that the function "RECORD THE THOUGHT" was activated. If any of the captions is incorrect, please blame the manufacturer of the software used in my camera. Or, maybe it did record someone else's thought, maybe the wide angle lens should not be used...

K1TO was never that tall! Clever usage of operator technique just make him appear to be larger.
