Heather took this one when we visited the Japanese Garden in Van Nuys last year. That’s me and my Contax G1.

I really like photos of people using cameras, even when I’m the subject.

Brian posted a photo from our little photo excursion at CSUH/CSUEB/whatever over on his blog, so I’ll share some of mine as well.

So this blog is presumably meant for b&w photography, but I’m so fascinated with my new film scanner that I can’t help posting some color photos.This one was taken on our honeymoon while we were visiting the Monterey Aquarium. We stopped in a little shop to buy a snack, and for some reason I found the counter area interesting.I love my Contax G1 for this type of photography. It’s small, very nice to carry around, nearly as simple as a point & shoot, and the lenses are beautifully sharp.

I don’t usually care for cell phone pictures, but my wife took this one the other day on her way to work, and I kinda like it.

Someone hit a fire hydrant on Ventura Blvd., and the water shot 3 or 4 stories in the air. Pretty cool.

Update: Here is my wife’s post about this photo on her blog.


Santa Monica

So I thought I’d start the new blog off with something relatively new.

When my sister and brother-in-law visited in October, we went for a little visit to Santa Monica with our cameras. While we were on the Pier, there was a guy down on the beach below with a big bubble maker. All the kids were excited, so when I snapped this, I was really trying for something with the little girl and the bubbles. But while I was processing it, I saw the creepy hooded sweatshirt guy, and the picture became something completely unintended.

Hope you enjoy.
