It's not rowing; it's paddling

Scenes from the 2007 ViewSonic Long Beach Dragon Boat Festival.

Gooder-night moon

Getting slightly better at setting the new camera to capture some detail on the over-half moon.
(Hey, I said "slightly.")

Cracked obsession

Yes, I went back two days later and took another shot of the crack in the glass ceiling of the Bonaventure lobby.

Sometimes inspiration defies all explanation.

Stay

Crack in the glass ceiling of the Bonaventure Hotel lobby.

Rotated and cropped, yes.

Yep, it's the moon

Um, you know, clouds

(I know this is not that great. Thanks for looking anyway.)

Burning for you

Beach bonfire on Dockweiler Beach State Park, El Segundo. (Yes, in the flight path of planes taking off from LAX.)

Goodnight moon

I include this shot of the crescent moon not so much because it's all that great but as my first attempt taken with my new Canon S3 IS. With my four-year old Canon D400, the moon would look like an indistinct white dot. So while I still have a lot to learn, it is a vast improvement.
