Sad Maddie

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I’m back from visiting the folks in Minnesota. I didn’t take too many photos, but I did grab this one of a very sad little girl. Madelyn caught a cold during our week with my parents and was miserable a lot of the time. Poor little Bean.

Street Photos – Yucaipa Skate Park

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

“Excuse me, Mister, but what are you doing here?”

I was a little out of my territory at the Yucaipa Skate Park tonight. I thought I was in Disney’s production of Oliver Twist when this little blonde kid appeared beside me to ask this question. I definitely made all of the kids nervous. Any time I moved to one side of the park to test the light or get a different angle, it cleared out in five minutes. I didn’t get any great photos since the kids treated me like I was about to give them a homework assignment. But I’m eager to go back and try again… and maybe again.

These two were from the other night near market night.

Batman Opening Night

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I took my camera out tonight to do some street shooting at our local market night. But as I drove by the movie theater I realized that Batman was opening at midnight tonight, and I had to check it out. I’ve also posted some of the photos on my gallery site under Street Scenes.

There was a crowd lined up all around the theater. I can’t wait to see it on Monday night!

People were lined up nearly 24 hours before showtime. These guys were smart enough to bring a couch for their wait. I wonder what friend they conned into taking the couch back home while they went to the movie.
