Fall Inspirations

Enjoy the Fall colors.

For Ami

Everytime I look at this, I think about Ami Vitale, my favorite photojournalist. I wish Ami well and safe wherever she's shooting in the world. Thanks for your encouragement about photography Ami.

Connections

Bay Meadows Raceway, San Mateo, California.
Some people have a way with animals. Connecting with something without saying a word is pure magic.

Raceway

Bay Meadows Raceway, San Mateo, California.
Bay Meadows Racetrack opened on November 3, 1934. In 2008, it will be closing down for redevelopment (i.e. some real estate people making lots of moula).
Mom used to get upset when dad was at the racetrack. Now that I'm older, I can tell why dad loved it there so much. The excitement, the sportmanship, the adrenaline the crowd gets when their horse is in the home stretch.

Claps

Children at Baudeogi Festival. South Korea (October 2007).
Every little bit of clapping helps an artist connect with their audience.

Love What You Do: Baudeogi Festival

Tightrope artist at Baudeogi Festival, South Korea. Celebration of performing arts culture in October 2007.

Don't think I've ever smiled this much at work - ever. :) Can't do it though, I'm afraid of heights.

Children's laughs are like the echos of angels.
