This biplane just dropped off some skydivers out at Perris. I was headed north on the 15 as the plane pulled just above the horizon and in front of the cloudy sunset.

This is my thesis project: iMac, scanner, hard drive. File cabinets get scanned here. (When this project is completed, my daily shots will get better. I promise.)

Wayne & Everet playing together. They match, too. I used a slow synchro flash with a 1/2 sec. exposure on this.

This seems more like a stock photo than anything, but I like the colors and framing. So there.

I picked up Isabelle at LAX tonight. Once I got there, my car moved very slowly. This bus didn't--it almost hit me! (not really)

It's the inside of a green hose (that kind that rolls up).

I'm 50 feet up in the shot taking a picture of my foot, the rope (holding me up), and Jason (keeping me up). At Hangar 18.

My first sunrise picture. I had to take Isabelle to the airport at 5am, so I was actually up early, really early. Notice the birds throughout this shot.

Another long exposure, 1 second this time. I used my steering wheel to stabilize it.

I was driving to class, saw this, and snapped the shot while driving. (Don't worry. I was paying more attention to the driving that shooting... there were 30 other shots that I deleted.)

8 second exposure, f4/8, Omaha Steak brand burgers. A good night all around.

My first statue picture for the photo-a-day. It's fun having shots that look nice without traveling thousands of miles to take them. This is in Covina.

This peacock approached me, as if asking for me for a photo shoot. At one point, it ran at me; I was fairly scared. If you saw the claws on this creature, you'd be scared, too.

I know, it's officially past 12am. Oh well. It still counts for Jan. 2 since I'm still awake.
