Since I am fuzzy headed Ill just post out some of the outtake shots from the trip to California. Normally I will take a massive amount of pictures of everything I think is interesting. This time as I ran through the shots I noticed I was somewhat short of the norm. Had to think about it for a while. A third cup of coffee jogged my thoughts and I figured out why there were so few outer shots. I was enjoying the moments. I guess I should be lucky I got any shots.
When we lived in Moreno Valley and then Perris or in the Riverside area we went to the ocean a few times. It was more fun to go to the fun fair parks than the boring ole beach. We did but not to sit on it.
When we lived in England we would go to the beach a lot. Granted with four kids during summer break what is a mom to do with them. Sizwell and other areas. How I wished I had a DSLR then too.
This time I expect I was so enjoying the beach, the air and the views I left the camera down at my side. I am trying to think back on what I might have missed. Well signs. I love shooting signs. I know it was terribly hazy so the sky was beat. Much of the time I was driving so I didn't have a chance to shoot off shots for that either. Next time I think we will visit friends and have them take us to a few more places I wanted to go to but didn't have the time. Where? The Chinese theater and the stars... kitschy but I wanted to do that.. and the Piano staircase from Laurel and Hardy's shot film. A few other places. They will have to drive cause I only have a vague idea of the fastest ways to get there and then I can sit in the passenger seat up front and shoot things. Plans!
So some outtake shots....
