Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra, Extra
This week’s photo challenge asks us to “share a photo that has a little something extra: an unexpected visitor, or a tranquil landscape with a splash of color.”
While photographing the Venice Beach Pier reflection on the wet sand, I caught a lone surfer on the background.
A woman holding red balloons walks right into the frame of my shot of “Urban Lights” at LACMA, LA.

Travel Theme: Unexpected
The unexpected can be unpleasant. But it can also be amusing, beautiful, funny, fun, odd…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Room
“Share your take on the idea of Room— it could be an actual room in your house, a favorite gallery in your local museum, a cubicle at work. You could also take this challenge in a more abstract direction, and show us where you feel like you have room — or lack it.”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Split-Second Story
“For this week’s challenge, we want you to become a documentary photographer and attempt to capture a candid moment of a person, place, or thing. Put your National Geographic hat on and tell a story by documenting a moment in time through a single image.”
Well, “candids” are my middle name, and I see a story or a special moment in each one of these shots. It’s up to the viewer to decide whether I’m right or wrong… 🙂
It was just a matter of seconds before he realized that was not a living feline…
