On David’s recommendation, I went to a couple of Brea neighborhoods to take in their Christmas lighting. I put the photos up on flickr here.

Note that most of the shots have been enhanced via HDR to bring out all the detail.....

Was asked to particpate in the Orange County Daily Photo website effort - bookmark it and visit it daily, as my fellow photogs are putting up some interesting captures.....

Spent this afternoon over at the new Muzeo Museum in Anaheim - an exhibit on the Treasures of Napoleon. Couldn't take pictures inside, but did take a number of external ones... here.

I have the honor of joining Suz Broughton's team of photographers at the Orange County Daily Photo website - I'm the Tuesday guy! Great bunch of people to be associated with....come see our work!

Spent the last week in Chicago (biz) and Maine (vacation) and got a lot of picture-taking in. Flickr photostream of Chicago is here, and Maine is here.

Have also posted 10 of my more interesting shots to the Showcase.

Went down to San Clemente with David Moyle and spent the afternoon shooting down by the beach. Wound up back on my rooftop for the evening’s fireworks. Selected pictures are here on flickr.

Active weekend - Had a great time at the tweetup on Friday night with the Long Beach crowd at Stacy’s Bar & Grill. Pix are up here.

Saturday afternoon, David Moyle and I went to the West Hollywood Tweetup at the 8oz burger place in Melrose. Here’s the pics from that event.

Afterwards, we wound up at the Santa Monica Pier and did some shooting....

Went to the Long Beach Marina on Sunday - primarily to score some calamari at Gladstone’s - then on to some picture taking. Shots from the day are here on flickr.

Went on a hike on the Vulture Crags Santiago Trail yesterday with Joel Sax (@Emperor_Norton of Twitter). Great time. Photos here on flickr.

Joined up with a number of other photographers to pursue caused-based photography. The group is called Captures.

First outing was to the Brewery Art Walk - pictures here.

Also closed out this season at the Renaissance Faire.

Time for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire which opened up in Irwinwood again this weekend. First day shoots are up on flickr here.

Today was the day of the 4am Project, a global photography event where people were urged to go out at 4am and photograph some aspect of the neighborhood we live in. Here are the pictures I took in the vicinity of the Honda Center, as well as the global stream on flickr.

A couple of shots from my recent trips to the beaches up in the Showcase

Went down to the Huntington Beach Pier area again this weekend, and spent some time at Gallagher’s Pub. Published a couple of new images up into the Showcase as well. Enjoy!

OK, OK....so I haven’t been publishing a lot of new stuff HERE. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been out & about taking pictures. Just not many caught my attention as being worthy of posting here. However, I did put a new shot up in the Showcase, a few on the People page, and have put a couple of new collections up on flickr - The Newport Beach Boat Parade and a recent trip to Huntington Beach.

Unfortunately, there has been some sad news in the world of photography - the folding of JPG - an interesting attempt to merge web and print magazine publishing. JPG will be missed by many......

David, Elizabeth and I went out this week on a night shoot in Fullerton. Still reviewing all the shots, and will be putting the “best of” up in the Showcase over next few days.

Had a great time at Lynn Hess’ surprise birthday party last night. Photo highlights here.

Norman (my colleague at Quantum Leaders) moderated a panel at today’s FCD event. Quite a challenge to shoot in low light, no flash, no tripod....lots of graininess/noise...

The pics are up on flickr here.

Went to visit Skip & Joyce. Put some selected shots up on flickr.

Although I've been going out a lot recently, the shots I've been taking have mostly not been "publishing worthy"....There's a couple of exceptions from my attending TaiwanFest LA this weekend in the Showcase

Went to the opening days of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale this weekend. All pictures have been posted to Flickr. Some of the best are in the Showcase.

Haven't posted for quite a while...been out shooting most weekends. Been to LA Farmers Market, Santa Monica Promenade, The Getty, Huntington Beach...

Need to spend more time reviewing and posting my shots. First of which is "Hands Down". current;y in the showcase.

Went to both the Riverside Mission Inn and the Raliway Museum over in Perris yesterday. Posted a couple of new shots up in the showcase - take a look and tell me what you think!

Was down at the OC Fairgrounds for the Home & Garden Show (Luis' winery was exhibiting there.)

Got a number of nice shots, the first of which - "Neon Sax" - is now up in the Showcase.

Had a great time at the rally yesterday morning, meeting everyone and taking a slew of pictures. Too numerous to post them all appropriately on this site, so I've put them up on flickr here.

Have also put them into a slideshow that I'll show before todays Super Bowl game.....GO GIANTS!

Will be down at the Obama rally this Saturday morning at 8am, both as a participant (am a precinct captain for the campaign) and to chronicle the event with pictures. It will be down near Obama HQ at 210 N. Broadway in Santa Ana.

I'll post some of the pics here over the weekend.

Hope to see you there!

Heading out early today (Saturday) for parts unknown. Likely won't be back until late tonight or sometime Sunday. Perhaps heading to wine country up north....

Have gone to the Santa Monica / Malibu area these past few weekends, and did manage to capture a few images worth showing. The first of these is "Quicksilver Shores" which is now on the showcase page.

Not much eventful happening as of late. Some trips to Huntington & Laguna Beach, as well as a stopover at the Mission @ San Juan Capistrano. Have a couple of shots from the latter that I'm working on. (See above)

May get out somewhere on Saturday morning, but this is NFL playoffs time.....

Thinking of heading south on the Pacific Coast Highway on Saturday, starting around 10-11am to take some pictures along the coast. If anyone is interested in joining, please let me know.

And, if you haven't noticed it already, I put such events up on a calendar.
