Not exactly.

A couple of my local/California photos are going to be on display down South in the San Diego Natural History Museum.

Here’s the details I recently received:

Anyway, you can see the photo’s on Flickr if you can’t make it there… I doubt I’ll be there either!

Here’s the first image: a favorite of mine. I shot this in a hot air balloon several thousand feet in the air, looking down at some water in the Mamouth Lakes Area a little over a year ago.

The next image I’ve posted recently already. I shot this around 3 weeks ago while in the Los Padres Forest looking for something else!

Cheers!

This was my weekend… and this is a throw away shot!

I dug this up this evening. I took this in 2006 while I was on a Southeast Asia trip with my wife that involved Malaysia, Cambodia and Indonesia.  I suspect in the not too distant future I’ll be back there. I was in the Philippines last October so it’s a part of the world I’m getting comfortable with.

About this shot: it’s nothing spectacular. It’s actually got much less detail than I would prefer but in reviewing these shots, I realized I’ve learned so much in such a short span of time. This guy was hanging out along the river bank when I shot him.  These guys move pretty fast, I had more shots come out blurred that I care for… of course, a faster shutter and higher ISO could have changed that… now I’ll just have to go re-shoot these I suppose!

Silly bit of editing
