One man and his camera ...

Picture Set One - 4th July Fireworks

This set of pictures were taken on the 4th of July 2006, at Redondo Beach, California.

>> After a scorching hot day walking around the pear and beaches, with a tasty beverage to wet the pallet! The time was set to light up the sky like only the Americans know how, Big Bold and often rather dangerous (so dangerous that firework's displays are not leigal on land, and so the entire show was from a barge 100 yards out to sea.

Picture Set Two - Gumball 3000

This set of pictures were taken at the end of the Gumball 3000 race, that took place in 2006 and ended in Rodeo Drive, California.

>> Some Nice looking cars, a lot of sun, a hell of a lot of police! and even more ladies in scantly clad outfit's. What more can you ask for ;-)

Picture Set Three - Universal Studio's Hollywood

This set of pictures were taken on a small day trip to Hollywood Studio's in California.

>> Rollercoasters, Movie props, live show's, stunts, street performers and the all important Tour of the Studio Lots! What better way can you spend on a sunny Saturday afternoon? (OK don't answer that, female beach volleyball wasn't on my list at the time).

Picture Set Four - Los Angeles Auto Show

This set of pictures were taken of the Los Angeles Auto show (that's a car show to you and me!!)

>> Some Nice looking cars, ladies in scantly clad outfit's, more cars and even the odd bike. I wonder who that is sat on it? Some stupid nutter I bet ...

Picture Set Five - Long Beach Aquarium

This set of pictures was taken on a visit to the Long Beach Aquarium, California.

>> Shark, Whales, Sea lions, Sting ray (no, please don't sing the theme tune!), sea horses, clown fish, jellyfish and even shrimp! (Though I'm not really sure why they call it an aquarium, they have insects, reptiles and birds there as well!).

Picture Set Six - NASCAR at the California Speedway

This set of pictures was taken on a visit to the California Speedway during a Nascar race.

>> Nascar Fact: the average Nascar can reach speeds of 200mph, which some Americans consider fast, just wait till they try the M1 at 2am (M1 being the majoy motorway in the UK!!).

Picture Set Seven - New York

This set of pictures was taken on a visit to New York city, New York.

>> Had the oportunity to visit New York city (in New York, yes it IS named twice!!). Time Square, Central Park, Empire State building, Statue of Liberty and many more monuments were snapped. Not to mention the odd squirrel !!

Picture Set Eight - Beach and Sunset

A collection of pictures taken of the sunset's and beaches around California.

>> The sunset's around California deserve their own page, what can I say except breathtaking. Santa Monica beach doesn't seem the same without the Hoff!!

Picture Set Nine - Christmas Tree 2006

A collection of pictures taken of the Chritmas tree during the holidays.

>> Exacly what it says on the tin, some macro shot's of the decorations as well as a lot of messing with colour variations. The arrival of a tripod was well chritned that day to say the least.
