Hells Kitchen along the Ortega Highway in Lake Elsinore
I was driving home from Laguna Beach, and pulled over to shoot some Harley’s at a biker bar. Most of the bikers looked at me funny, but left me alone. The guy that owned this bike, just came out, got on and left, didn’t give me a hard time at all.
Here are some more shots from the same location

Fuji recently stopped making quickloads for my 4×5 camera, so it is with a heavy heart I am selling my 4×5 gear. It will take some time as I have a pretty good collection of LF lenses (similar to the one shown here). It is a shame that Fuji will stop making quickloads, but I assume that a large drop in demand over the last few years gave them no choice.
For me it means that I will probably never again shoot another frame of 4×5 film, and that makes me sad.
For those of you that don’t know what a 4×5 camera is; well in a nut shell it is similar to the camera that was primarily used by Ansel Adams, and is still today one of the only ways to get extremely high resolution files via drum scanning.

Martha B. Knoebel Dance Theater on the campus of California State University, Long Beach
My daughter auditioned for the American Ballet Theatre on campus a few weeks ago, so I wandered around the campus during her audition. I headed for the japanese garden, but it was closed, so I only took a shot of a couple of buildings. I would have preferred blue skies, but it started raining just after I took this, so I guess this is better than nothing.

I was stuck on the freeway ramp this morning on the way to the auto auction, and I noticed these three birds sitting on the rail. They look like they are looking down on the traffic below and laughing.
Having my G11 handy helped me catch this moment. Photos don’t have to be works of art, I try and take new shots every day, and even though they aren’t all “great”, they tell stories of my life.
Here is what they were looking at:
