For a long time I wanted to take a photo from the overpass at Mullholland overlooking the 405 going north towards the 101. About five or six months ago I had seen the exact shot I visualized on the front page of the LA times...except if I recall correctly the exposure wah much shorter than what I had in mind.
Last night I took a drive to the very spot and took a 2 second exposure...it is amazing the amoung of traffic that continuosly passes under this over pass, 24 hours each and every day.
A freind of my wife asked her if she would like to help her out by being her model for some pregnancvy fitness photos. Her friend is an author and the owner of Expecting Fitness. My wife agreed and naturally I asked who was doing hte shoot....well her friend was....I asked if I could do it for her...she agreed and I took 150 unbelievable photos....sure, I am a bit biased...but my wife, who is eight months pregnant, look absolutley AMAZING! So, I am sure anyone would have captured solid images like the ones I got...they really are AMAZING!!!
It's not every day you get the opportunity to get up close and personal photogrpahing the Mayor of Los Angeles. Last Saturday a good friend put together a symposium on the homeless epidemic in Los Angeles. The even featured ten organizations from around the city that cater to the homeless community. The Giving Spirit is one of the organizations featured and I am a board member. The folks that planned the event, called me on Friday and asked if I would be willing to take pictures. They said I would have access to the stage and would be able to take as many pictures as I wanted as the Mayor was speaking...heh...I took almost 400.
This morning I was trnasferring almost 4GB's of RAW files I shot yesterday to an external hard drive. I decided to clean up a few folders and creat more space when I came across this photo of a runner running at sunset along the beach during low tide at the Santa Monica Pier. I love this shot...wish I could have captured the full reflection of the runner...but if I did...I might have not captured the full reflection of the pier.
