1.10.12 Cinders

Cinders was born in my front yard. After about 2 years we were able to touch him. After 8 years he decided he wanted to come in.

12.27.11 Putting away Christmas

While taking down Christmas, I wondered what people did with the memories when they decided to put up an "adult" tree.

11-15-11

Taken on May 28, 2011. My Boy Scout troop was putting flags on veteran's graves at the Westminster Memorial Park Cemetary. It was a very somber day. The boys of the troop were so respectful and well mannered. I was so proud of them that day.

Which way should I go?

Endless freeways
Do you have any idea how high up I was to be able to take a picture the same level as this light? It was high. On a freeway overpass.

Taken with an Olympuc Pen-EE half frame camera on 35mm film.

8.22.10 Westminster Mall

Westminster Mall
Westminster, CA. Taken with a Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera. The nice thing about using a camera that is a simple wooden box is 1) No one realizes it's a camera and 2) it requires long exposures, so anything moving a lot doesn't show up in the picture. Like people. Which is why the mall looks empty--but if you look closely you can see people sitting in the chairs down there.

5.23.10 The Gravitron

A Cambodian festival for Buddha's birthday.
Came across a little parking lot carnival at the Westminster Mall in celebration of Buddha's birthday.

Taken with a Holga 120 camera converted into a pinhole on Fuji NPS 120 film. About a 2-3 minute exposure.

3.21.10 Liberty Skate Park

Liberty Skate Park, Westminster
This is my husband at the local skate park. (Fisheye is to skateboarding as sunshine is to California! In other words, both cliche and necessary. :)

Taken with a Lomo Fisheye II 35mm film camera.

01.03.10 Sunny skies!

The skies are always sunny in Orange County.

Well, almost always. This is part of a sign for an auto place. I believe the rest of it says "Tire Company."

(If you've ever used a Holga camera, you should know how hard a shot like this is. The only thing visible in the viewfinder was sky.)

Taken with a Holga 120N camera on expired Agfa Isopan ISS film that's over 30 years old.

10.25.09 Power lines and sky

It's just you, me and this wire

Wires, wires, wires. Everywhere you look in southern Cali.

Taken with a Kodak Brownie Bullet II on 127 film in Westminster, CA. Title is an Interpol lyric.
