If you keep your camera around when there are cute kids, there's bound to be a cute moment.

View On Black. I had to go to jury duty in downtown Los Angeles. I brought my dSLR and took some photos during my lunch hour.

Ladies and gentlemen, Wayne on the clarinet

Wayne rocked out the clarinet. He was surprisingly good, especially since he hadn't played in 20 years.

Incidentally, it's a bit crazy that my friends and I say, "Remember 20 years ago when...". Ugh.

In the video class I teach at APU, we go on a field trip and build a steadycam in week 5. Build your own steadycam.

Photo Tip #6:
Get to know your camera.

You get to know your camera by taking lots of pictures. Lots. I set the flash on my Canon point-and-shoot to slow sync. On that camera, the flash fires (most of the shot you see), and the shutter usually stays open for one second.

Yay for Day 300.

Now that we have an electric bill to pay, the air conditioner is off more and the ceiling fans are on more.
