On the boardwalk

From the beach at Santa Monica, California…

Skyward

As promised, the first in a series of pictures from Los Angeles that I took on our family “spring break” trip. I took this shot in the middle of an outdoor art installation titled “Urban Light,” by Chris Burden. It’s at the L.A. County Museum of Art (i.e., LACMA), and consists of 202 restored cast-iron [...]

Technology dependency

OK, I’ll admit it — I’m a technology junky.
I’ve spent most of the past week on a family vacation, and planned things out in advance so I’d have internet connectivity on the trip without taking the laptop along. It’d just weigh me down, and besides, I have my iPod along and it’ll do wi-fi. I’ve [...]

A few nights back, a friend gave us some “spare” tickets to a Colorado Avalanche game. At this point in the season, the Avs are out of contention for post-season play, so we weren’t expecting to see a good game — but I thought it’d be a good experiment to see what camera setup would work best for the occasion…

Heptet

Another flower macro shot from my session with my wife’s Valentine’s Day flowers…

Dozing

Going back to last summer’s Seattle trip for this one. Here’s a sleepy resident of the local aquarium…
