“For love of country, they accepted death.”

Monday, May 25th is Memorial Day in the United States, a federal holiday on which those who gave their lives while serving in the country’s armed forces are remembered and honored. At Arlington National Cemetery, a U.S. military cemetery across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., the Honor Guard pays tribute at the Tomb of the Unknowns.

Forever indebted …

Sittin’ On The Dock Of A Bay

Fujifilm X100T – Time Exposure – 58 seconds @ f/16 – ISO 200

For this image I used a Hoya ND400 (9 stop) neutral density filter and also used the 3 stop internal filter in camera for a total of 12 stops exposure reduction.  It was quite windy and the bay was white cap choppy so I thought a time exposure would make a better image and smooth the water to a glass like state.

Tourists get a nice surprise hello from a local at the Venice Beach Skatepark.  Despite being scared a couple managed to get their cell phones up for a “high quality” pic, at least I didn’t see an iPad photographer.

Disneyland For Adults

mirage-5There was a time that Las Vegas was called “Disneyland For Adults”. Now it is merely “Sin City”. Either name is an insult! An insult to Walt Disney, an insult to sin!
