I was tired of the blue so I changed the color 🙂

Slow and Relaxed

Thompson, a fugitive from justice, was spotted by Lewiston Detective Sgt. Adam Higgins and fled into the three story apartment building. After Higgins and fellow officers were closing in on Thompson, he lept onto a garage roof in an attempt to escape. (Russ Dillingham/Lewiston Sun Journal)

Not a lot happening over the last week since the baby shower. Just piddling with my computer and a small job over the weekend to help a model edit photos to post on myspace. That seems to be a very popular tool for social and business networking. I have a page there as well. Click to see it

I was hired to photograph a baby shower today. I went to the Maggiano’s at the Grove in a private banquet room. It was nice to meet the family. I think I got some good shots. Here are few of them.

Entrance to Pomona College

I went with Edna to see Claremont as there are 5 colleges there and it is supposed to be a cute town. It was easy to get there via Metro link train. We walked the campuses of all five colleges and even went to have lunch in one of the dining halls. I think Pomona College is the oldest and most prestigious one. It seemed like most of them were high cost private for rich kids 🙂

Switched Colleges

Sandy Mayo, VP Academic Affairs, Valley College, Valley Glen, CA. at her desk enjoying her new position on Sept 13, 2007. Sandy is a former Dean from Santiago Canyon College in Orange, CA. She has degrees in Mathematics and Applied Sciences as well as an Education Doctorate. She mentions she does not like being called Doctor(Valley Star/Photo Larry?)

I was at one of the LACCD colleges but did not like the professor. He was a bit too rigid in his methods and was not doing things properly, in my opinion. I tried to work with him and the photo editor student but just could not work things out. So I have switched to Pierce. I went today and added the two journalism classes. I think this is going to work out well because I sat with the two teachers for about an hour and got a new assignment. I picked up the Roundup paper issue #1 for the semester. It looks good. The website is http://www.therounduponline.net and looks like its established. It seems to cover some good topics. The photos were mixed. Some were good and others were bad. But the teacher gave constructive criticism on them so I am sure students learned from it. I am guessing the photos I took for the second issue of that other paper will not be used so here is a sample.
