Photographs
Immigration Rally







I got an assignment from my professor to go on the spur of the moment to the downtown rally to learn how to cover a real news story. So I took the train at lunch and shot about 50 images. I was the only student who returned afterwards. He took that opportunity to tell me that I was a very talented photographer. I thought that was very nice since he has a lot of experience and knowledge. I may ask him if he can recommend part time work. Oh my opinion on immigration is this. Our country is built on people from other nations settling here. So I have no issues with foreigners coming to this fine country. The only thing that I think should be required of them is to learn english so that everyone can communicate with them properly.

I went with my photo group to Venice Beach and Canal yesterday. I first went to see the venice art gallery where some kids had done paintings and photographs. It was interesting. Of course the people at the boardwalk were the most interesting to photograph. I got several good shots.

It was a hot day so Edna and I decided to take a trip down to Laguna Beach again. It is so nice down there. Beautiful beach, lovely homes, no street trash 🙂 I could see myself living near there some day. I met an artist painter on the walkway. He was very interesting. I spoke to him for a while and found it funny that he had a business card and cell phone. The artist of the 21st century right.

I had not seen my friend Christian in a while since he is working and going to school and keeps very busy. So when he invited me to this birthday party, I decided it would be a good chance to see him. It was a fun theme as you can see from the photos. My friend Momma also joined in on the fun. Made me remember what it was like to go out to clubs but still glad I do not do it frequently.
