Canon Powershot G7

Dog belonging to my next-door neighbors. I'm not fond of these neighbors, due to some acts of vandalism, enough said about that. But the dog is cool, even though he barks all the time, probably due to terrible boredom from being cooped up in their tiny apartment and balcony.

I'd had this silhouette shot in mind for a while after seeing him like this at night a few times, "standing" with paws up on the balcony rail (and frequently barking at whatever he sees...).]]>

Some friends of mine were playing a show at District 13 in Hollywood. While hanging out on the patio, I saw this neon sign through the window of the bar next door, and had to take a photo. Later, another friend told me that Goose Island is a very tasty IPA. I'll have to try it sometime, but it gets my vote on behalf of the logo if nothing else!]]>

Out for a songwriters' roundtable event where a friend was performing, and the candles were throwing these patterns through the cut-glass holders. Almost like a little disco ball!]]>

Shot on my point-and-shoot, so image quality is moderate.

Watching a couple of my musician friends play at one of their gigs, and got this shot of another friend of ours taking some video of them on her phone. Had a little fun with post-processing.]]>

Aloft en route from LAX to Denver
Nov 22, 2011

While we were on the runway awaiting takeoff, I'd noticed the lit-up wingtip and its watery reflection along the flat of the wing. I had to wait till we were in the air and given the 'ok' to use portable electronic devices before I could pull out my camera and take the photo I wanted, and I'm glad I did so right away, as the wing lights were only left on for the very first several minutes we were in the air.]]>

I like window seats. I like taking photos out airplane windows. On this flight, seated directly over the wing, I had a great view of the jet engine.]]>
