Yeah...I don't know if this was okay or not. I just happened to have a camera in my purse...and so I took it out, turned off the flash, and quietly photographed my choice for the Democratic nominee for Presidente de los Estados Unidos (no el or la on that one). Why? I had finished voting and was just so amazed by this machine! Being from California, I had only voted on paper...so this was a fun first vote in PA. Everything about it has been exciting. I'm not going to repeat any obvious points as to why it's been so great to live in Philadelphia, PA during a heated Democratic Primary. I am excited about the choices, like most people. I should say that I am not a staunch supporter of either candidate, but I understand the historical implications of their presence on my ballot, and I wanted a record of it. I'm an emotional shooter...and this picture was taken with pure glee:-)
I haven't been able to really play with my Nikon digitals. I take them on shoots, yes, but they're the expensive fancy things I can't throw in my purse and grab when I see something on my way to the post office.
So, when I get my random ideas for shots I want, I think in Pentax, black & white, and film. Recently, however, I've been thinking fancy, random thoughts, and my imagination calls for fancy digital.
Here are two from a series called Mirror Marry

Los Angeles has become an opportunity that rarely comes.
It's home, and I love it from a distance. The last time I got there, I was the most homesick I had been since I was neck deep in a freshwater marsh in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. But, in Philadelphia, I'm not screaming "What am I doing here?!?" There was a purpose in Guanacaste too, but a marsh is a marsh, especially when you have to be in the middle of it. But, anyway, Los Angeles. I had missed it, and so, while I was there, I pocketed my Pentax KM and photographed it.
These are my friends.
