The day before Mother’s Day my daughter and I,  went on a “night cruise” to experience the lights and sights of Los Angeles and Hollywood after dark. We stopped at Chinatown.

I thought night photography is hard.

And it is hard….

I need more practice

The night was cold riding on a double-decker English bus. But it was fun.

Shadow Hiking

Have you heard of the song Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb, the brother of the famous Bee Gees?  That’s how I got to name my post, except it is for the love of hiking.


Hiking as a form of work out has greatly influenced my love for outdoors in conjunction with my love of photography.  We take long weekend trips, day trips, in different counties and mostly intrastate.

Zee and me

Our hiking activities usually start early in the morning. But when we want to stay for sunset especially when there is a full moon, we usually start at 3 pm. Just for fun, when its towards the end of the day, I play around shooting our shadows.
