Having never been to the "Wild" West Hollywood Halloween Parade before I was unsure of exactly what to expect. I knew about the outrageous Halloween Costumes, and the wild parties from the news media though. I also knew there would be lots of cross dressers.
A meetup group was supposed to meet at a nearby parking structure but it got cancelled at the last minute and naturally I chose to go it alone rather than turn back. What's that we used to say - "Though I be the Lone Survivor..." hmmm, amazing how that Creed still comes in handy 30 some years later...
Parking was challenging but I found a reasonably priced lot about a mile away and grabbed my gear and walked down to the parade route.
I staked myself out under a streetlamp in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd, and tried to get as many of the unique and good costumes as I could. One of the inside jokes is to let the newbies keep asking "What time does the parade start?" All night long. Eventually they figure it out.
These pictures were shot with a brand new Canon 7D with a ringflash. Unfortunately the ringflash blocks the focusing light from the flash unit so there were some challenges focusing in the poor light. With every breakthrough comes new obstacles. Such is life.
The Canon 7D preformed reasonably well under the circumstances. It sure as heck ain't no 1D or 5D, but it is an 18 Megapixel, APS-C 1.6x Crop sensor size, and very practical. It has a bunch of features that the 5Dii doesn't have, although the 5Dii has a much higher quality sensor, which is also slightly larger (21 Megapixel), as well as being full frame. The 7D is also noisier than the 1D or 5d at anything higher than ISO 400, but was useable under the circumstances. It also does video, but I didn't try to use it that night. I've obviously been spoiled by my 1D.
I ran out of biz cards the first hour. If your picture is in here, just use flickr mail to send me your email address, me and I'll send you the file at No Charge.
I'll be back next year - this is a fun parade.
"For some minutes the caterpillar puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded it's arms, took the hookah out of it's mouth again and said, "So you think you're changed, do you?" I'm afraid I am sir, said Alice: "I can't remember things as I used - and I don't keep the same size for ten minutes together!" Can't remember what things,?" said the caterpillar."

A victory over 3rd bottom Southport Hesketh would've seen Longridge go 5 points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division with 4 games to play. Sadly, Town produced their worst performance of the season, going down 3-0 to a hard working Southport side, who played a 90 minutes that belied their League position.
Manager Lee Ashcroft started with two up front, Jack Preston joining Brad Carsley, with Jordan Bowen playing just in behind. Town started OK on a bumpy surface, with Carsley heading wide a Mark Woods cross after just 12 minutes, but four minutes later a Southport corner to the edge of the penalty area was volleyed home to put Hesketh 1-0 up.
The travelling Town support was to be disappointed if they expected a response from the League leaders as, playing into a strong wind, Longridge were struggling to get going, being out worked all over the pitch by the Home side.
After 38 minutes a free kick was lofted into the Longridge area and, after failing to clear their lines, Town went two down as the ball was stabbed home from six yards.
2-0 as the teams went in at half time, and Town would now be playing with the wind at their backs.
Former Southport player Mark Jeffers was introduced, in place of Jack Preston, at half time as Ashcroft look to get the ball wide and provide the ammunition for Carsley to add to his 26 goal tally.
Jeffers looked bright and Town started the half looking for the goal to get them back in the game, but the closest they came was a glancing header from Danny Morris that rolled wide from a corner.
Joe Melling was replaced by Jordan Tucker on the hour, as Ryan McKenna moved up front with Carsley, but it was all in vain as the Southport keeper remained untroubled, aside from showing good hands when saving a Carsley free kick on 76 minutes.
Just 2 minutes later it was all over, although it had felt that way for a while, as Southport outnumbered the Town defence and fired a 3rd goal into the corner of the net. 3-0.
The final 12 minutes were played out in the grim belief that Longridge had missed an opportunity, but Southport had played well and fully deserved their 3 points on the day.
After the match Manager Lee Ashcroft (pictured)was philosophical regarding his teams chances , " The important thing now is that we win our next 3 matches, as the outcome is still in our own hands then, before going to Blackpool on the final day. We were poor today admittedly, but we have to respond and I'm pleased that we have the chance to do that quickly with the Tempest game on Wednesday night."
Town now have 3 home games, starting on Wednesday night against Tempest United with a 7.30pm kick off, before then facing title rivals Blackpool Wren Rovers on the final day of the season on Saturday May 13th.
Today's result leaves Longridge two points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division on 72 points, two clear of nearest challengers Wren Rovers.

My 2nd maternity shoot. Tried a few without the backdrop this time as the colours looked pretty good. Also, there wasn't loads of room to set up the backdrop due to the shape of the room.
For the shots without the backdrop I used both my Sony F42 flashguns with white shoot-through umbrellas.
For the backdrop shots I had a bare flash behind the backdrop and one camera right with a reflector on the floor aiming back up into Matt & Kiley.
expect an alex/josh spam for the next couple of days.
one of the sillier ones we did, in which josh climbed a tree and hung upside down from it to pull a spiderman. :D
Razia Gershon, a veteran Israeli sculptress debutes online gallery. Sculptures are presented in figurative classic style , based on and inspired by the human body, its movements and ballet steps. The sculptures are cast in bronze, and despite the hardness and rigidity of the material the statues are made of, the viewer can easily see and feel the movement, the elegance and the gentleness expressed in the statues. One of the better known series Razia created includes a bronze garden sculpture series of various animals and in particular sheep. The comic bronze figures are unique and have become the artists’ trademark in Israel.
Had a little photoshoot with my pregnant fiancee. We are expecting a baby girl any day now and wanted this to be the first picture of here.

I normally do not post shots that do not turn out so great, nor do I edit them. I like everyone else on flickr really do not want to advertise the fact that some of my shots do not turn out for what ever reason it might be. BUT today I am making an exception. (the only reason I can do this to this family is they are like my family so they get the same treatment as my own family....tortured)
My friend had these cute little dresses for her girls and I had been doing a ton of sessions in the frost and she thought the dresses would look so nice against the frost. So she asked if I could do a mini session for her. The second we head outside one of the girls slips and falls, the temperature is around 15 degrees, and the baby is not feeling well. All elements that almost make it impossible to get a happy family picture.
We tried. I finally said this is not going to work! We called it a bust and as we were walking inside I said to her in a serious tone, "You were right those dresses really do look nice against the frost." To that she said, "I told you they would!" then we break out in laughter.
The photo above was the BEST shot. When I came home and pulled the shots up I laughed so hard I cried.
My advice is when the shots are just not working, call it a day. Don't waste your time or your clients. It happens, roll with it. =]

The evening before the expected release of new methane regulations by the European Commission, the Gastivists Collective and local ally Tegengas organized a “guerrilla projection” action at the Vilvoorde gas plant on the outskirts of Brussels. The action highlighted new infrared videos of methane leakage taken by Clean Air Task Force from fossil fuel infrastructure sites across Europe.
“Just weeks ago, at the COP26 conference, the EU signed the ‘Methane Pledge’ to reduce methane emissions. Despite this, there are still billions of euros of public money that is slated to go to new fossil gas projects. If we are committed to reducing methane emissions, we need to stop importing methane and start leaving it in the ground,” said Kevin Buckland of the Gastivists Collective.
Methane, sold conventionally as fossil gas (“natural gas’), is quickly being recognized as a false solution to the global climate crisis, and incompatible with the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, the continued expansion of fossil gas infrastructure is only possible through massive investments of public money that is obtained through relentless industry greenwashing and lobbying that tries to pass off methane as a climate solution. Fossil gas is blocking real climate action, and the reliable, decentralized, and renewable energy systems the people most vulnerable to global price shocks and fossil fuel extraction so desperately need.
Europe is the world's largest importer of fossil gas (much of which comes from fracking). New EU legislation, however, only calculates methane emissions of this dirty energy source from inside Europe, while ignoring the massive leaks from extraction and transport outside of EU borders. Europe needs to own up to its responsibility to the full lifecycle emissions of the energy it consumes, and move away from false solutions such as nuclear, hydrogen, and fossil gas.
Groups across Europe are demanding legislation that listens to climate science, and not the fossil fuel industry, and thus a full fossil gas phase-out by 2035. Any new fossil gas infrastructure that is approved today will either become a climate menace or a stranded asset. Our public money should be going to pay for a just climate transition, not to maintain industry share prices.
The current energy situation across Europe, from the conflict between Morocco and Algeria to Russia’s leverage of gas as a geopolitical tool, proves to us that energy is too important to be left in the hands of for-profit industry and rogue politicians and kings. The EU needs to have transparent and reliable methane emissions reporting, and make policy based on science - not by industry lobby groups such as ENTSOG. It is time for Europe to lead the world in developing locally-owned, reliable, and resilient energy systems, instead of continuing to burn public money through the relentless combustion of fossil fuels.

Tommy's oldest daughter, Kerrie, made the big announcement when we were in Tampa, visiting his family.
This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon Series Marathon held at Stapelstown, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 09:00 on Saturday 21st of September 2013. This is the first East of Ireland Marathon Series race outside of Dublin and also the first to have been run on rural roads and is race 5 of the East of Ireland Marathon Series 2013.
There was beautiful but warm weather in Stapelstown for the marathon which made conditions tougher than expected. The course brought runners on a loop from the village over towards Prosperous, Co. Kildare, and then back to the finish/refreshment area. The event was very well organised and whilst these races operate with a degree of self sufficiency for runners there was adequate marshalling, course marking, and refreshments available. Well done to all.
The East Of Ireland Marathon Series aims to make marathons affordable and convienient for the runners of Ireland. The serires organisers aim to promote marathon running and to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys. However all finishing times are accurately and officially recorded. This is to keep the price down and keep the races as affordable as possible. The East of Ireland Marathon series is all inclusive and welcomes runners who are new to marathon running as well as experienced veterans.
This photograph is part of a Flickr set of photographs we took at this event. The Flickr set is available here [http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157635665725976/]. This set includes photographs from the start, in-race, and finish of the race.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: The East of Ireland marathon series stricly limits the number of participants. There were about 50 participants in the race today.
Weather: There was warm sunny weather for the race with competitors finding the humid conditions very tough as the race progress on around mid day. There was no real wind but a breeze which did help keep runners cool.
Course: The race started at St. Kevin's GAA and proceeded west into Stapelstown Village and reached a turnaround point which brought runners back to the starting point. This meant that runners then had to complete four complete loops of the 6.09 mile loop outlined below. This loop then proceeded directly southwards towards Prosperous but makes a sharp right turn before Properous village. This brings runners onto the Ballynafagh road and northwards back towards Stapelstown village. Runners then run down through the village (passing the finish and refreshment area) to complete the loop. The course is on traffic open country roads.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
