Day off….

J at about 4 years old. I think we had the day off and went down to the California Science Center in Los Angeles. This was taken during the trip going to since I’m sure she was sound asleep on the way back.

Mom and Dad

Since my mom passed away last May, me and my two brothers have been scanning all of her family photos. We’ve come across some photos that we didn’t know even existed. This is a photo of Mom and Dad at the Seven Seas nightclub in Hollywood. I’d have to guess that it is during the early 1950’s. They would work all day, Mom was a nurse and Dad was a mechanic at McDonald Douglas Aircraft, and then go out all night dancing.

Day after the rain

Big J had been cooped up in the house for a few rainy days and needed some outside time. Being 100% boy, he headed right for the mud.

I am the egg man…

This is from way back when J was just over a year. We were on vacation and she was playing with these swim goggles. She let me put them on her just long enough to take the photo.

Downtown Rush Hour

I was standing on the bridge in Downtown Los Angeles at 5th and Figueroa just after sunrise. This is a composite of three bracketed images that I processed in Photomatics. Though not perfect (I’m still learning to learn photography), I thought it came out well.

Nextdoor Sunset

Shot across the street of my neighbors house around sunset time. I didn’t do much with the colors, just cropped and darkened it a bit. It was too bad that the car was parked in front of the house else it would have been a much better photo.

Ventura Power Station

While on vacation in Ventura Ca. in 09′ I wen’t on a bit of an excursion one night. About a mile or two from where we were staying was this power plant right next to the coast. I must have snapped 200 shots using different settings and whatnot. This was the result of 3 images merged and the colors tweaked a bit.
