I enjoyed watching the employees doing their work. The food was also good. I went for the sausage.

Walking around the fairgrounds, I saw plenty of things worth photographing. I only regret not going in to see Hercules the Giant Horse. Maybe next year?

I keep visiting this sculpture garden to capture the many moods. This short film is an attempt to give people who live beyond Orange County a sense of this artistic gem.

Spinning High

I don’t know what these things are called, but lots of people photograph them and never get tired of liking them. I was testing out my new Holga to see how it worked.

One of the lows of photography for me is that people seem to want to see the same thing over and over again. You can’t go to Paris and avoid the key sites such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and Sacre Coeur or London and miss Parliament, the Tower of London, or the London Eye. I surrender to these desires, but I sigh because my viewers ignore better photographs of more obscure subjects. Sigh.

I set myself up with a tripod and a neutral density filter at a busy intersection in Whiting Ranch to capture these riders as they flew by.

God, there was so much cholesterol and fat floating around it was not funny.

Pretty Piggy

We went to the Orange County Fairground for the first time to pay a visit to the livestock and take part in a photography program that we never found. While we wandered, we found the pig pavilion.
