got it

Sometimes you capture a priceless exchange - I love the calm, happy, and acknowledging semi-smile here.

I like the softer focus on this shot.

Local Talent

While in Vancouver we walked into a street fair, which also had a skateboard contest.  There were 5 apparatus, and the winner on each apparatus won $1000.

I took most of my shots from another angle, but liked this one because it captured the audience focused on the skater, complete with several people shoting video.  In the picture below, I asked this kid if I could take his picture, and he said no problem.  I liked his calmness and poise, mixed with shyness.

Vietnam Memorial

The somber black marble provides a beautiful reflection captured in many photographs and paintings.  This is my take during our visit in in July 2011.
