Marina Del Rey, CA

I took a stroll a few weeks ago and forgot about these pictures.  There are more on smug bug.  

Post 4th Night Photography

Here are a few shots of what I caught on the 4th this year.  I recently discovered the "bulb mode" on the d90 nikon and long exposures.  I was i doing a long exposure a pelican flew by and someone near me took a picture with a flash.  As a result the pelican shows up almost ghost like on the left.  I was happy with the few good ones that I got but I as usual...I still have a lot of room for growth.  

Surfing in El Porto.

I went to check out a surfing spot nearby at around 0800 on a weekday.  Pretty busy place, no where to park and men changing in between the open car doors trying to be discrete but not really.  Check out the rest on SmugBug.  If you view it as a slide show it sort of goes in a story fashion.  Sort of.

Night Photography-Santa Monica Pier

Santa Monica Pier, CA

I visited Santa Monica Pier a few weeks ago and took a go at some night time photography.  I of course didn't take the tripod but I did the best I could to keep things clear.  I also started a Smug Mug gallery to view and eventually for purchasing.  Enjoy!  

Photourista

Before with mostly just cards

It's time for an update. Looking over my photo files I am realizing I have been a lot of places and have captured a slice of them on the camera to share. Over the course of the last 6 months  I have been in the process of trying to figure out how to share my travels through photography as a business. It started with blank art cards with the best shoots from my travels to share with friends and family. I currently have gone as far as setting up a booth at the local farmers market with a few sales here and there of the art cards with a recent addition of around 10 large professionally printed, framed and matted pictures.  The goal is to eventually get a website going for Photourista and go from there.

With wall and large picture additions.

I find as a new small business owner getting the pictures, making the cards, getting the large prints made, getting into the farmers market on craft days, plus a few hassles here and there,well...that was the easy part.

Just have to sell now and open up other venues. If you are interested in any blanks cards or just want to see what I am selling visit here.  

This is a new kind of adventure for me that brings me out of my comfort zone.  I look forward to continuing this challenge.  Thanks for sharing with me in my adventures.

A walk on the moon

Almost like walking on the moon

Except the moon is in the sky
