A couple months ago a friend had mentioned in passing that our town, Suisun, was holding a photo contest and that I should enter. If I won, she said, I had to buy her cheese fries. Well, the winners were announced.

Monochrome Fireworks: Breaking the Rules
After compositing a set of fireworks photos together, I was struck by the notion of just how much color was there. Fireworks are pretty colorful and that's one reason why we love them. Why not turn that on its head. Break the rules. Fuck the King. Black & White? No, monochrome blue because I was freezing at the waterfront after the sun went down.
Dreamscapes - First Shots With Sony A6000
I recently pulled the trigger on a new camera purchase: Sony A6000. It was not only on sale at Amazon for $630USD but also bundled with a free case (meh), free 16GB memory card from Sony (always need more memory cards), and most importantly: 2 free batteries and charger from Wasabi Power. All of Sony's mirrorless cameras seem to eat up batteries like no tomorrow.
Night Lights
I've been using the 45-200mm telephoto for more landscapes lately. This photo is a composite: The moon was out of frame with the telephoto so I took 2 shots and blended them together.
