Awaiting the train

I went with Edna for a fun train trip to Ventura, Cali. First we took the amtrak train up there. I love riding trains! We had lunch at a fun 50s type diner. Also stopped by the beach front. Its really nice. See the pics above.

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

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)

Brannon, a model I work with

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 🙂
