Hollywood Lines

Telephone lines, smog, and me. It was this hazy at 9am.

This guy was cutting concrete all day... 20 feet away from my classroom. It was loud, but the picture at 5pm turned out nicely.

Activate orange

This orange was in the staff lounge. It's times (and photos) like these that I'm glad I keep my camera with me at all times. Seriously, where did this come from?

Red wall and a Rose Parade elevator

Red wall and a Rose Parade elevator, originally uploaded by billselak.

Of all the cool places (and photos) in Pasadena, the parking garage elevator ends up being the photo-a-day. btw, the blue and green channels are desaturated (black & white), and the red channel's saturation is toned down.

Oh yeah, that's a super old photo from the Rose Parade on the elevator doors.

SD800IS

Here's my Canon SD800IS (taken with my digital SLR). I always keep it in my pocket. I love it. In fact, I use it more often than my fancy Nikon dSLR. Don't get me wrong, I also love my dSLR, which took this picture. The real question is, which is better: the camera, or the camera that took the picture of the camera?

This holds up my guitars.

Nikon D70s

Nikon D70s, originally uploaded by billselak.

Here's my digital SLR (taken with my Canon SD800IS). The body is a D70s, and the lens is a Nikkor 18-200VR. I love it. I also love my little Canon, which took this picture. So, which is better: the camera, or the camera that took the picture of the camera?
