Weekly Photo Challenge: Near and Far

I’m playing with the near and far theme here, juxtaposing a near sun and a far sun in the photo. One sun is two or three centimeters away from my lens, the other about 93 million miles. I’ll let you guess which is which. Anyway, I took this photo right before sunset in my backyard, […]

The sights and sounds of Downtown Los Angeles (Photos)

There is something about downtown areas. It may be the architecture or the bustling atmosphere of anonymity, but cities just provide a great place to watch the world.

A day working at the California Primary Election (Photo essay)
