Under Fire

A Long Beach police officer discharges blanks during a K9 demonstration at the Long Beach Police Academy. Note the shell casing flying from the gun — and the officer’s obedient partner awaiting his cue.

Disney Dinosaur

October 3, 2008: Dinosaur Jack’s Sunglass Shack at Disney’s California Adventure. The dinosaur has since been removed as part of Disney’s major renovation of the park but I get the feeling that once Cars Land is completed, the dinosaur will make a comeback somewhere along the roadside of the much-anticipated attraction. With all the other things they’ve got planned (e.g. The Cozy Cone), a silly dinosaur only makes sense.

Wheel of Fortune

April 1, 2007: Wheel of Fortune game at Chuck E. Cheese’s in Cerritos, CA. This is one of my most popular pictures on my Flickr Photostream, but isn’t accessible right now since my Pro account as expired. I plan on fixing this within the week.

Also note that, while posting multiple images is enjoyable, I think I’m going to slow down my posting rate so that everybody can come here for something new and different each day. I currently have enough for at least the next 30 days so that will give me time to find some more of my favorites. Additionally, I have ordered a 2TB external drive so I will be doing some transferring of my images and videos once it arrives. That should also give me an opportunity to find some forgotten gems.

Thanks for coming by and I hope you’ve enjoyed the images I’ve posted so far.

Don’t Stop Believing

January 9, 2008: A little creativity added to a STOP sign, obviously inspired by the classic Journey song.

Autumn Leaves

October 27, 2007: The bad thing about having a tree that sheds lots of leaves? The daily cleanup.

Here’s an example of the the only good thing: my son Anthony playing in them and posing for a picture.

Red Rock

April 7, 2010: The panoramic view from the Visitor’s Center at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas, Nevada. Because of the contrast in lighting, the original was extremely washed out so by adjusting the color and contrast of the image, the interior of the Center kind of framed the view.

Gondolas

April 7, 2010: The canals of The Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Matt Kemp

April 15, 2010: Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp prepares to grab some bench after striking out.

I was sitting in Row N of the Field Level seats with my zoom lens but cropped in a little tighter to the subject.

Chalk It Up

Dave — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 05:48:29 +0000

April 6, 2007: One of my son’s many, many toys. This was taken the week I bought my Olympus EVOLT E-500. I was still getting familiar with all of its settings.

Peek-A-Boo

February 26, 2005: An exotic bird takes a peek from behind its feathers at the Los Angeles Zoo, Los Angeles, CA.

Taken with a Kodak DX6490 4-megapixel camera which I still have. For not being a high-end camera, I love the results I get with it.
