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.

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?
Edsa has its good side and badside with its traffic. The congested highway exhibits the heavy hitters and gets you late for work.
OnePlus 11 5G with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood is good to go to make its debut in India on February 7 alongside the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 TWS earbuds. However, aside from the upcoming flagship smartphone, the Chinese smartphone brand is reportedly planning to unveil new smartphones in the Nord, T, and R lineups in the coming days to diversify its portfolio.

I never expected to be doing something Jewish on this trip, let alone on Xmas day. But lo and behold, I found myself in an old synagogue (1500's) in Fort Kochi. It was well worth the trip. Check out the amazingly colorful ark cover.

I didn't expect this to be my shot for the week but I really like it.
She's perched on a chair (not somewhere we usually encourage dogs to be) in front of the living room window. The background was too bright and everything was getting washed out. I pulled my flash later on and got more technically correct photos but none of them had the appeal that this one has for me.
Look closely at the sign. You'll the opening date has been filled in with black marker pen ("until 01 May 2020").
Was some-one expecting me?
