Santa Monica Beach Sunset

A sunset snap shot at Santa Monica Beach.

Speechless.

Last train to Coney Island

Tried to catch the last train to the Coney Island before they close for the 2009 Season.

Well, honestly, i just missed those chili beacon hot dogs and lemonade from the original Nathan stand.

On the flip side, it is expensive. $3.65 per hotdog. I can buy a pack of 50 from Sam's Club for 11 dollars plus 8 buns for another $2.50. Well, it's like you can't miss the Walt Disney World if you are in Orlando, right?

Smokes from Angeles National Forest

Here are a few photos of the HUGE smokes coming from the wild fire from Angeles National Forest which currently happen for a week so far and going.

Depend the wind blowing direction, you can smell the burning through out the day and night. Once I was sleeping on the lawn and I was woke up by the smell at 4am in the morning.

The pictures was taken at a park where my grandpa always comes here to feed the ducks. Also you can see people still playing golf in the photos.

Fight to LA delayed and here is how I kill time

It was my last min decision to go to LA last week. The AA flight in JFK was delayed for 1 hour. They said the flight had some mechanical problem, and I said you can take whatever the time you need as long as I don't have to go down with it.
Even though travel with airplane is the safest transportation, but still I can't imagine if something happen when I was 36k miles high from the ground.
So I took out my camera and kill times.

The Goldman Sach Dragon Boat Team 2009

This morning Simmi send me two PDF file which are from the Goldman Sachs (GS) site. One is for the U.S. Internal, and the other one for the GS worldwide. I am honored to see they used the photos I did for their GS Dragon Boat Team in this year's Dragon Boat festival in Flushing, NY.

Sweet!

I specially love the photo which was shot when the GS team crossed the finish line. I had 3 frames captured the moment, but this one really had their energy and emotion out.

Is this a good photo? Well, compare to a lot of finish line crossing photos from the sport photographers or Sports Illustrated, this photo sucks.

But I like it, because my wife was there, and she was the pacer too, Period.

There was n0 doubt I have my personal feelings attached during this assignment. Well, technically, it was an unpaid, must do, better good shots or die assignment directly ordered from Simmi.
