 Happy
Birthday wishes going out to our good friend Chad Lloyd
today but more importantly...CONGRATS to Chad &
Sara on the birth of their baby girl today. What are the
odds of that? The baby was one month early but mother
and daughter are doing fine from what I understand. She
weighted 6.1lbs but no word on a name yet. I'll keep you
posted as I find out more.
Update: It's a girl and her name is Maya Jean
Lloyd
Update II: Just spoke with Chad and mother and
daughter are doing fine and he expects they'll both be
coming home sometime Wednesday afternoon and he plans to send
a picture by the end of the week. |

Weekend Update

We actually didn't do anything over the weekend except
relax and take it easy. I spent so much of last weekend
photographing a
car show and a
lobster festival that it
was good to just sit at home and do nothing. My neck and
shoulders have been killing me as of late cause I spend
so many hours hunched over the pc that I decided not to
spend more than an hour at my pc on Saturday which was
nice for a change. Me and Kim just crashed on the sofa
and watched TV until dinner time at which point I
grilled some roasted garlic chicken along with scalloped
potatoes and corn. I've become quite the chef over the
past few weeks and fixed dinner for Kim every night last
week. We didn't even order any pizza!
Saturday night we watched
Monster In Law which was
extremely funny along with the new season of
SNL which
was ok. I also watched
Crash which was really good
although not an accurate depiction of life in Los
Angeles...at least from what I've seen.
Sunday we did more of the same...nothing but lounging
around watching TV so we should be pretty well rested at
this point. I'm probably gonna need it, I've only got
about 20 sites in progress right now with about 3 or 4
more starting this week. So much for cutting back on web
design to pursue photography!

Fun
With Photoshop

Comment On This Post
 One
of the fun things about Photoshop is that you can make
some pretty cool composites from your photographs. I
combined one of my nighttime shots of the
Redondo Beach Pier with another photo of the
moon to create this surrealistic shot. I've got a couple
of different creations like this in mind and may even
have them printed on canvas for greater effect.

Where
There's Smoke . . .
Posted by Jimmy :: Sunday,

Comment On This Post
 A
lot of neighborhoods on the northern side of Los Angeles
were on fire last week as
wildfires swept thru the
foothills. A long, dark trail of smoke could be seen
blowing out over the ocean which actually made for a
pretty scene in spite of the destruction it was causing.
Luckily, we don't live close enough to any foothills to
worry about fires or mudslides.

The
Final Katrina Post
Posted by Jimmy :: Thursday,
Sept. 28th, 2005 :: 11:10 PM PST ::
Comment On This Post
 I'm
way past the whole Katrina/New Orleans thing but someone
emailed this today and I couldn't resist putting the
issue to rest by posting this article from
Jesse
Lee Peterson...a black conservative who's like
the anti Jesse Jackson. His article clearly proves that
not all black Americans hold the President responsible
and addresses who is really to blame for the chaos that
ensued in the aftermath of Katrina. Keep in mind that
the article below was written by
Jesse
Lee Peterson, NOT me!
Moral poverty cost
blacks in New Orleans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city
you live in. Two questions:
- What would you do?
- What would you do if you were black?
Sadly, the
two questions don't have the same answer.
To the first: Most of us would take our
families out of that city quickly to protect
them from danger. Then, able-bodied men
would return to help others in need, as
wives and others cared for children,
elderly, infirm and the like.
For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has
told us the answer to the second question.
If you're black and a hurricane is about to
destroy your city, then you'll probably wait
for the government to save you.
This was not always the case. Prior to 40
years ago, such a pathetic performance by
the black community in a time of crisis
would have been inconceivable. The first
response would have come from black men.
They would take care of their families,
bring them to safety, and then help the rest
of the community. Then local government
would come in.
No longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans
residents had left the city, it was
primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks
that stayed behind and waited for the
government to bail them out. This, as we
know, did not turn out good results.
Enter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan.
Jackson and Farrakhan laid blame on "racist"
President Bush. Farrakhan actually proposed
the idea that the government blew up a levee
so as to kill blacks and save whites. The
two demanded massive governmental spending
to rebuild New Orleans, above and beyond the
federal government's proposed $60 billion.
Not only that, these two were positioning
themselves as the gatekeepers to supervise
the dispersion of funds. Perfect: Two of the
most dishonest elite blacks in America,
"overseeing" billions of dollars. I wonder
where that money will end up.
Of course, if these two were really serious
about laying blame on government, they
should blame the local one. Responsibility
to perform – legally and practically – fell
first on the mayor of New Orleans. We are
now all familiar with Mayor Ray Nagin – the
black Democrat who likes to yell at
President Bush for failing to do Nagin's
job. The facts, unfortunately, do not
support Nagin's wailing. As the Washington
Times puts it, "recent reports show [Nagin]
failed to follow through on his own city's
emergency-response plan, which acknowledged
that thousands of the city's poorest
residents would have no way to evacuate the
city."
One wonders how there was "no way" for these
people to evacuate the city. We have
photographic evidence telling us otherwise.
You've probably seen it by now – the photo
showing 2,000 parked school buses, unused
and underwater. How much planning does it
require to put people on a bus and leave
town, Mayor Nagin?
Instead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin
(with no positive contribution from
Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the other
major leader vested with responsibility to
address the hurricane disaster) loaded
remaining New Orleans residents into the
Superdome and the city's convention center.
We know how that plan turned out.
About five years ago, in a debate before the
National Association of Black Journalists, I
stated that if whites were to just leave the
United States and let blacks run the
country, they would turn America into a
ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall
we say, disagreed with me strongly. Now I
have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too
much credit. It took a mere three days for
blacks to turn the Superdome and the
convention center into ghettos, rampant with
theft, rape and murder.
President Bush is not to blame for the
rampant immorality of blacks. Had New
Orleans' black community taken action, most
would have been out of harm's way. But most
were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do
anything productive for themselves.
All Americans must tell blacks this truth.
It was blacks' moral poverty – not their
material poverty – that cost them dearly in
New Orleans. Farrakhan, Jackson, and other
race hustlers are to be repudiated – they
will only perpetuate this problem by
stirring up hatred and applauding moral
corruption. New Orleans, to the extent it is
to be rebuilt, should be remade into a
dependency-free, morally strong city where
corruption is opposed and success is
applauded. Blacks are obligated to help
themselves and not depend on the government
to care for them. We are all obligated to
tell them so. |

First
Ever Giant Squid Captured On Film
Posted by Kim: Tuesday,
September 27th, 2005 :: 8:01 PM PST ::
Comment On This Post
 Being
a big science geek and having seen a dozen shows on
Architeuthis (Greek for chief squid) even I was beginning to
wonder if the world would ever see a real live giant
squid. It finally happened today when scientists in
Japan captured this 25 foot giant squid on camera as
they (ironically) used a smaller squid as bait. This one
is only about half grown as scientists have found dead
specimens as large as 60 feet. Kind of cool to know that
there are still a few "monsters" left in the world.

How come these
commercials on TV say they can feed a kid in Africa
for a dollar a day but every week when I buy
groceries it's like $200?
-
As much as I hate
buying anything from terrorist run Seven Elevens,
you know it's time to leave when someone walks in a
tells the clerk, "Dude, you gotta help me!" Luckily
I was on my way out the door at the time.

Why do vegetarians
consider eating meat ethically wrong? How do they
explain the fact that we have incisors?

Did you know that
Manta Rays like to leap out of the ocean much in the
same way as dolphins and sharks?

I'm trying to remember the last time I took a full day
off...whenever it was, it wasn't this weekend. I
volunteered to work the beer booth at the Lobster
Festival on Friday and then had to photograph the event
on Saturday. Sunday I had to photograph an historic car
show at the Redondo Pier and then spent the rest of the
day cleaning and washing clothes. I also bought
groceries, updated my website and completed a few print
orders for several clients.
Man do I need a vacation! |

Dinner & A Movie
Posted by Jimmy: Sunday,
September 25th, 2005 :: 9:22 PM PST ::
Comment On This Post
 It'd
been a while since we did the whole dinner and a movie
routine so we headed to one our favorite restaurants
Saturday night (South Bay Grill) and
enjoyed a wonderful seafood dinner. Kim had the caramel
glazed salmon while I had the crab alfredo. After dinner
we headed to Best Buy to kill some time since our movie
didn't start for another two hours and finally headed to
the theatre to see
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. All
in all I'd say it was a good movie. It was a little
heavy on the musicals and didn't have enough laughs but
still a good movie. It actually reminded me of all those
Christmas animation specials from back in the day.

Sometimes you never know what you'll see when you leave
the house. We saw this tiny little car and right after
we snapped the photo, this fairly tall guy got something
out of "the back" so it was obviously his car. Or maybe
he just looks tall standing next to this car. At least
he's not overcompensating. :^P

It's bad enough when you see fat girls wearing low rise
jeans and a thong but this takes the cake. At least when
I wear Kim's thongs I know how to put them on correctly!
