Howdy 2012

Boy 2012 is just flying by. Thanks to a lucky break of being in the right place at the right time on the World Wide Web. I got a free ticket to LAX. So I dumped some stuff in my bag, grabbed the camera bag and zipped down to sunny southern California. Sunny it was, mid 80s inland. yesh.

Well, turns out all the people I know have kids... so I have a bunch of so-so pictures of other people's kids. I did go to the park in Irvine. They have a huge balloon that offers free rides.

It looks like the place was sponsered by ING (since they're logo has an orange ball on it... does no one use ING for banking?!?)

Besides mingling with friends' mini me's, I ate. I ate good. White House in Anaheim, Tony Pepporoni in Aliso Viejo. Bruxie in Orange, Cafe Rio in Manhattan Beach.
I rented a subcompact. Because I wanted to spend like $15 on gas... Well all they had were minivans. So this was my ride for the trip. I'll admit the stow and go seating and remote control doors did win me over by the end of the trip. Til I gassed up and ended up having about a whopping 17mpg hwy (mostly highway, i dont remember any real traffic either).

Yeah, no getting the mommy wagon then finding the mommy for me. Good quick trip, good times.



Went to my first Warrior game. 3rd NBA game ever. It was alrighty. Dont really like basketball, but it gave me an opportunity to bust out the new "professional" lens
It goes wide. 12-24mm. So now the bag has that, a 35mm and a 55-300mm.

with the kit 18-55mm and old film 50mm and 35-70 sitting at home.
