Today I was so excited to finally get the chance to visit the Hill Gardens. and i just wanted to photograph two of my dresses there. The idea was to create a narrative based around two Victorian sisters playing with their imagination within the secret garden.
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.
Jesus' crown - Latin Passiflora
Garden plant with a very interesting flowers. Her flower consists of five phanergamous that represent the five wounds of Christ, three-pistil, which represent the three nails, nor stamen around the crown of Jesus. So because of this belief in the nation received numerous names such as Jesus' torment, Jesus flowers, the crown of Christ, the Lord's crown and the like.

2010 APBA MARK HAHN MEMORIAL HAVASU 300
APBA (American Powerboat Association) and IJSBA
(International Jet Sport Boating Association)
Sixth Annual APBA National
Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300
Set for February 27th at Lake Havasu
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA - March 17, 2009: The sixth Annual
“World’s Longest Continuous PWC Race” was announced
today by the event co-promoters Jim Russell, DSM Events
owner and Executive Producer, Mike Follmer. The 2010 –
APBA Mark Hahn Memorial, 300 Mile Team Endurance Race is
all set to launch on February 27, 2010 from Crazy Horse
Campground in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The event will
once again be sanctioned by the American Power Boat
Association (APBA), and it is expected that over 65 two
rider teams will enter.
The race is being held again in the memory of endurance
racer Mark Hahn who was instrumental in providing the
momentum to keep endurance racing going strong and
growing across the country before his untimely death
during a PWC race in 2004. The “Team” format features
two riders for runabout (sit down) boat teams and up to
three riders for a stand-up craft. Solo riders are also
welcome to “Ironman” the race on either style of boat, a
real test of endurance and stamina reserved for only the
true endurance zealots.
The race is returning to Crazy Horse Campground’s Main
Beach site for this very important event”, said Jim
Russell, “and the 10 mile course we have approval from
the Coast Guard for will pit all the teams against the
wind, rough water and long runs that this event has
become synonymous with.” In addition to all the weather
and water conditions all the teams have to contend with,
they will also be required to make fuel stops without
spilling fuel and make rider changes several times
during the race, while modifying their race strategies
as the race progresses. There will be six different
classes competing on the race course simultaneously,
with all the racers competing for the overall title. At
the conclusion of the race, each class winning team will
be crowned the APBA National Team Endurance Champion for
their respective class. Awards sit down dinner will once
again be held at the Aquatic center Rods and Recs room.
After the gigantic success and world wide recognition
received in the press of 2009 event Mark Hahn Memorial,
it is expected that 2010 entries will far surpass the 57
teams that were there to battle for the title and the
promoter and his staff are planning for over 65 teams to
enter. Mike Follmer said, “We’re gearing up to make 2010
event outshine what we did in 2009 by getting more give
a ways and even better trophies for the massive awards
banquet at the Aquatic center that will far surpass what
we did in 09.” “We have on the water still photography
and magazine coverage to chronicle the event for the
riders, Follmer added. The awards banquet will feature a
sit down dinner for over 300 people and over 75 award
trophies to be presented to overall and class winners
with a host of special awards that will again surprise
their worthy recipients.
All of the pre-race attention and planning for this
year’s Mark Hahn Memorial guarantee that it will far
surpass the previous four years which have been heralded
as the “Best PWC race of the year”! Get your teams
together and your entry in early to make sure you don’t
miss out on this great experience.
Entry forms and entry information sheets were released
soon for the February 27th event. Entry forms, race
information, updates and results will be posted on the
Mark Hahn web site in December 2009

Sometimes the best photographs are the ones that are the least expected. As me and my friends made our way through the winding trails surrounded by pine and rivers we finally found ourselves on the shores of the upper lake at joffre lakes. I was so enamored by the grand and unfathomable beauty that was right before my eyes , I was speechless. My goal was to take a photo of my friend Ashley on the shores of the lake but she was no where to be seen unfortunately. After a couple minutes a group of hikers made there way to the shores of the lake and a girl with stunning red hair caught my eyes immediately and I knew I had to snap a portrait of her . As Laurie and her friends began taking photos I politely asked her if I can could photography her she immediately said yes! . The rich colour of her gorgous red hair and her soft pale skin really created an elegant touch to the epic landscapes surrounding her. All these elements truly made her stand out which was the initial goal I was aiming for in the photographs. Laurie was so easy going and very natural in front of the camera making my my job a whole lot easier , plus come on with views like that it aint hard to create something beautiful.
As expectativas foram alcançadas. No primeiro dia da Semana Cult, a palestra de abertura do Deputado Federal Márcio França lotou o ginásio da Unibr. A Orquestra do 2º Batalhão e o Coral formado por professores da Faculdade também foram muito aplaudidos.
Com o tema Ética e Responsabilidade Social, o Delegado Federal Protógenes Queiroz, que comandou a Operação Satiagraha, também foi muito prestigiado pelos universitários e comunidade vicentina.
No pátio e nas classes, com mais palestras, oficinas, mini-cursos, exposições, teatro, festivais gastronômicos também chamaram a atenção do público.
A Semana Cult será encerrada hoje e o objetivo já foi conquistado: criação de um espaço interativo de produção acadêmica, que leva cultura e entretenimento aos alunos e a população da região.
Hoje ainda acontecem as palestras com o Secretário de Meio Ambiente de Santos, Fabio Alexandre Nunes, o Fabião, a vereadora Telma de Souza. A banda Carlos Bronson fará o encerramento.

Expectativas y Realidades
-Recuento De Cruz.
El Clausura 2015 terminó para La Franja rayando en el cociente del descenso en paralelo con Los Melenudos, ambos empataron en el promedio pero Los Poblanos permanecen en primera división por mejor diferencia de goles.
De la mano del Profe Guadalupe Cruz, Puebla consiguió 20 puntos salvándose agónicamente en la última jornada y con un empate sufridísimo ante Santos.
A mi punto de ver en este torneo pasado se contaron con muchos mejores refuerzos que en El Apertura 2014, como Matías Alustiza quien fue el goleador que necesitaba el equipo siendo uno de los pilares para la salvación de la categoría; Facundo Erpen, gran defensa central que hizo dupla con El Pampa Romero aunque este último no jugaba al 100% por estar tocado de su pierna, pero Facundo sacó su talento y pundonor, haciéndose imprescindible en la zaga central además de colaborar con 2 goles para la causa enfranjada; Y Hérculez Gómez quien a pesar de no ser requerido en muchos partidos como inicial, el poco tiempo que entraba a la cancha respondía en generar peligro a las porterías contrarias pero que solo pudo conseguir un gol en La Liga.
Otro factor muy importante para rescatar del descenso al Puebla, fue el nivel que logró Rodolfo Cota en los 3 palos bajando muchas veces la cortina cuando la presión era que La Franja se echaba atrás y el equipo contrario jugaba mucho tiempo en territorio poblano.
Si bien es cierto que con El Profesor Guadalupe Cruz Puebla obtuvo 20 puntos, hay que considerar que 12 puntos se consiguieron de triunfos sobre equipos que en el momento en que se enfrentaron a La Franja pasaban por su peor paso del torneo como lo fueron Monterrey, Morelia, Querétaro y León.
La crítica dura a su trabajo siempre fue hecha tanto por los medios de comunicación locales de Puebla como La Afición Poblana sobre el hecho de que el equipo se reforzó en la delantera y sin en cambio La Franja jugaba medroso al ataque, máxime cuando ya se iba ganando por la mínima diferencia como sucedió en los partidos contra Chivas y Pumas y el equipo se tiraba atrás a defender el golecito y se terminaba perdiendo los cotejos.
En La Copa MX se ha visto un Puebla jugando en libertad con la mayoría de jugadores que no eran requeridos para los encuentros de Liga, viéndose en muchas ocasiones el mejor futbol de La Franja, donde en mi punto particular el equipo se veía más dirigido por Cuauhtémoc Blanco que por El Técnico Cruz, por lo menos hasta la instancia de semifinales es mi apreciación, porque una vez llegada a la final se jugó con titulares de Liga pero ofensivamente y sin Cuauhtémoc, sin embargo en ese partido frente a Chivas, los jugadores de Puebla fueron tan contundentes que se vio la mejor versión futbolística de Los Enfranjados tanto en espectáculo como en resultado, adjudicándose La Copa MX del Clausura 2015.
Mi apreciación personal es que Puebla no debió sufrir tanto la lucha del descenso teniendo tanta milanesa respecto a jugadores para tan poca torta como lo fue El Profe Cruz como Director Técnico al no hacer un equipo unido, ofensivo, con carácter y contundente, que fuese alegre a la vista de todos.
-Un Nuevo Comienzo…
El no darle continuidad a los técnicos que han pasado por el banquillo del Puebla, ha sido el común denominador en los 5 torneos cortos que llevó la directiva encabezada por Jesús López Chargoy y su familia, (situación que también pasaba con el anterior presidente del club Ricardo Henaine), donde a mi gusto si eran necesarios los ceses de Los Profesores Manuel Lapuente y Rubén Omar Romano, pero el equívoco se dio con el despido de José Luis Sánchez Solá “Chelís” pues aunque en su última dirección dio como resultados un triunfo y 8 empates, además de obtener un sub campeonato de copa como visitante.
La Franja bajo su tutela tenía poder de regreso en los marcadores, se le perreaba el balón al rival desde su línea defensiva, y se buscaba ser ofensivo aún con las limitantes que se tenía en la parte delantera, pues aunque El Puebla llegaba con peligro a la portería contraria, no se tenía un matón que concretase los goles.
La contratación del Profe Cruz fue más que desesperada, pues se alegó que Chelís deseaba traer jugadores que ya habían estado bajo su dirección pero que en ese momento o estaban grandes de edad o no venían haciendo nada relevante en sus equipos.
De lo que si estoy seguro es que Chelís hubiese aceptado totalmente a los refuerzos que llegaron para El Clausura 2015 pues eran de mucha mejor jerarquía.
Y es que el problema siempre ha radicado que en Puebla FC nunca se sabe para dónde va a saltar la rana, ya que durante los drafts se ha recurrido a que los jugadores que se contratan no los quiera en primera instancia su club y vengan en su mayoría a préstamo, ello hace que cada torneo se tenga que renovar la plantilla en más de su 60%.
El enroque de la presidencia de Puebla FC esta ahora representada por Carlos López Domínguez, y aunque se dijo que El Ingeniero Jesús López Chargoy dejaba de ser presidente para atender sus negocios particulares, seguramente seguirá respaldando en presencia a su sobrino Carlos López como lo fue ahora cuando se dio la presentación del nuevo Técnico del Puebla Pablo Marini ante los medios de comunicación.
He hecho una remembranza de lo sucedido de por lo menos los últimos 5 torneos cortos del Puebla, y me doy cuenta que es la misma obra de teatro pero con diferentes actores y mismo presupuesto.
Prometer no empobrece y que se planeen proyectos nuevos no tiene nada de malo, siempre que se dejen de repetir los mismos errores. El Profe Pablo Marini ha prometido para este Apertura 2015 el 55% de puntos disponibles, y es ahí donde comenzamos mal, cómo comprometerse a tal proeza aún sin saber que jugadores podrán estar para dicho torneo.
Las expectativas para las mejoras del Puebla siempre son muchas al inicio de cada torneo, lo malo son las realidades que nos pasan por enfrente jornada tras jornada.
Yo lo que pido como AFICIONADO es disfrutar de ver jugar durante 90 minutos a un Puebla convencido y contundente, de los resultados se podrán ver mal al principio, pero estoy seguro que si los jugadores que estén y el cuerpo técnico hacen trabajo de grupo continuamente con disciplina, tarde que temprano se verá reflejado en puntos y espectáculo.
LA OPINIÓN EXPRESADA EN ESTA COLUMNA ES RESPONSABILIDAD DE QUIEN LA ESCRIBE Y NO BUSCA GENERAR CONFLICTOS ENTRE LOS INVOLUCRADOS, SI NO GENERAR CONCIENCIA EN CADA LECTOR.

A portrait shoot with a couple expecting twins. I never heard from them after this shoot. I hope the kids are doing great. If you are out there and find this image, please contact me :)
We're expecting a week or so of dry weather, so I backed Baby out of the garage and wiped her down. I got seduced by the dark side of the Force a couple years ago and started using various "quick-detail" products between washes. On this car, which spends her off hours in the garage and gets a full polish a couple times a year, the "quick-detail" products work very, very well for taking off water spots, dust and light road schmutz.
I loved the way our overhanging trees—Douglas fir and white birch—were reflected in the newly polished hood. This one's going in Car Reflections...
Three seats across.
Nineteen rows.
One attendant.
Two pilots. Ah, at least the two pilots made it easier for me to board this plane.
I was expecting. . . bigger?
Expecting to see an awesome version of wednesday's sunset from Dan Anderson. I was on my way to football game in St Paul when I saw the sky light up - the best I could do for vantage point was Hwy 280 and Larpenter. About 1 minute later, it was gone.
Dan...don't disappoint!
03.27.10 . . .M is expecting her first and only baby boy in just a few weeks. She is doing this alone, as her partner was shot and killed just 5 months.
M and I went to College together and i had not seen her in 14 years...she is still the same sweet fun girl I remember. We are back from our mini road trrip now..so i hope to catch up with uploading my pics and visiting everyone stream soon.

Seriously. I wasn't expecting much, but I wasn't expecting it to be the worst arcade lightgun game I'd ever played (which it was) :/
CWA NEWS FALL 2013 VOL. 75 #3
About 20 ver.di activists sneaked into a Deutsche Telekom-sponsored event in Berlin called “Long Night of Startups.” When incoming CEO Timotheus Höttges took the microphone, activists stood up to reveal t-shirts reading, “We Are All Josh. We Are Not Disposable.” During the main event, a light show lit up the room with “TU, CWA and ver.di” and “We Expect Better.
