2)  My tradition of someone taking a picture.  Since people take pictures at various events, I take a picture of it.  I do it mainly because I feel like it.

3)  My tradition of taking a picture of food.  Christadelphians like to eat, so  Itake a picture of the food.

4)  My Shipensburg tradition of taking a picture of an anti-bacterial soap dispenser.  I am very allergic to anti-bacterial soap.  Approximately 24 hours after I use it, my hands begin to itch.  Depending on how much I use, the effects after this will vary.  If I used hardly any soap, then the itching will go away.  This usually happens when I realize what I am doing, or I realize the soap is anti-bacterial when it is coming out of the dispenser, I move my hand at the last second, and a little bit of soap gets on it.  If I use a pretty moderate amount, my hands will get very dry, and will crack after the itching, and then go away after a while.  If I get a big glob of soap on my hands, blisters will beign to form on my hands (or hand if it only gets on one hand).
    Now on to why taking a picture of a dispenser is a Shipensburg tradition.  During Shipensburg 2000, when I was on Truth Corps, I used the restroom, and without thinking, I put a big glob of soap on my right hand.  I realized what I did and got it off as quickly as possible.  The itching began the next day, which I expected.  Then the blisters began.  6 started to grow on my right hand, and they got bigger and bigger.  They finally got so big that they merged into 3 big ones.  No one wanted to see my hands because it wasn't exactly a pretty sight, although if you want to see the pictures I had taken (I have Pete Styles to thank for taking them for me), click here.   I was fascinated by it more than anything else because I never had an outbreak like this before.  My mom took me to the campus nurse and she used a pin on them, put a bandage over the blisters, and put a netting thing to keep the bandage on.  She also gave me some cream to put on it to make them heal faster.  My mom also got some medicine I have for when this happens to me.  Now to get back to my original point, I take pictures of the dispenser at Shipensburg simply because of what happened.

5)  My Warm Beach tradition of taking pictures of the people serving the meals.  At the Warm Beach weekend, different people volunteer to serve each meal.  I try to take a picture of them during one meal, though this year (2001) my attempt to keep the tradition was foiled.

6)  My tradition of Jay Mayock playing guitar. Jay plays a guitar at pretty much every event we're both at, and I take a picture of it.

7)  My traditional picture of Esther Holman and me, which is taken by one of us.  Esther bugged me and bugged me to get in my own pictures, and every time she did, I explained how I don't like being in my own pictures and that  Iwould carry around a mrror if I wanted to look at myself.  Anyway, at Warm Beach 2000, I decided to make her happy and get in a picture with her.  It's been a tradition I've made sure to do every time I see her.
