roller derby redux

April 5th, 2011

My university course (Communications - at Sydney's University of Technology) was very left wing and feminist. There was the occasional rich kid posing at being at marxist but mostly I think the feelings and thoughts were genuine and it was eye opener for the surfie I was then. I can't help thinking that education is why I'm drawn to the roller derby - here are women who are strong and unafraid to be who they are - loud proud and mostly (it seems) tough as nails. Its exhilarating watching them skate, and its odd to find them oddly shy when they come in front of my camera. I just tell them to do what they want - and then they let loose.
