I am going to continue to play with my camera as well as Photoshop CS5 to see what I can learn, and if you know anything about photography and Photoshop, you know the capabilities are endless.

This is one of many squares downtown and is located on Montgomery Street between Congress and Bryan Streets. Franklin is adjacent to City Walk as well as First African Baptist Church, two well known historical landmarks.

How do we know? Those of us who are able to read and have read the description of Jesus in the Bible as well as know that he was in Africa, knows that he didn't have long light-brown hair and blue eyes.While I was walking down Hollywood Blvd. with camera in hand this guy alights from the Metro, and http://bobbikalule.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-his-likeness.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tonya Keitt Kalule)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592662547064197779.post-298622298828503966Mon, 12 Jul 2010 07:20:00 +00002011-12-04T22:49:20.798-08:00 If you are anything like me, you avoid pigeons where ever you go. Being from Savannah, Ga. I am use to seeing pigeons especially in the downtown area. This is especially the case in all of the squares, where many people feed the pigeons. Los Angeles is the only other place that I have lived where there are just as many if not more pigeons around. I have always thought of them as pretty dirty,http://bobbikalule.blogspot.com/2010/07/pigeons.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tonya Keitt Kalule)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592662547064197779.post-7995159703827291891Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:20:00 +00002011-12-04T22:46:53.520-08:00 Got up really early this morning to go on for a photo shoot with a couple of models. It was an engagement shoot. It was a lot of fun. I learned a great deal because it was something that I had never done before. It reminded me of my days of modeling, many moons ago. This shoot was set up through one of the photography meet-ups that I am associated with here in Los Angeles.

However, there were still a few good photo opportunities and I missed the mark. I think laziness was the culprit. Not taking advantage of these opportunities was quite disappointing. The photos would have been a great deal better if I had just opened up the aperture.

It was beautiful to watch the synchronized rowing. I was eating the second half of my veggie wrap that I got from the boardwalk on Venice Beach. I left the camera in the car so I can eat this wrap. As I watched the Kayakers go up the harbor I just assumed that they were coming back and I was going to be ready.

The event was to start at 5:30pm. I really didn't expect him to be there earlier in the day, but he was. He was participating in a show, which I understand was part of the event. He and his wife competed.It was quite interesting to watch.

I am learning that I am not really in control here, my body is and I better listen to it. Yesterday was a good day so I decided to go out with my camera for about an hour to see what I could photograph in my own neighborhood and I found a few interesting things.You can see more here, http://bobbikalule.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-am-as-handsome-as-paul-newman.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Tonya Keitt Kalule)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592662547064197779.post-1978279253486423070Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:47:00 +00002010-03-04T12:45:46.928-08:00Sunday I went out to Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade for some people watching and some street photography.

You would have thought it was the middle of July with the amount of people that was out there. But that is the beauty of Southern California.

I decided instead of driving to Venice Beach which is a bit further down the street and having to find parking, we would just walk the distance on the beach. Well if you have ever done that it is quite a long walk.
