I am amazed at the results of my 17-40mm. I love this lens. This was taken in Monterey park yesterday afternoon. I have a feeling you'll be seeing a few more of these sunset shots. I just love the colors of the sky. Praise God for his creation and for providing for my new 17-40 lens.

This is my day 9 picture. This was taken at the Marriott in Marina Del Rey. I really like this because it was taken with my new 17-40mm lens. I was trying it out in the lobby. I love the lighting of this space. Someone suggested that I send this to the Marriott's marketing dept. I just might have to do that. LOL!!

I just wanted to share my day 8 picture. It's my sushi chef from Zono Sushi in Burbank. I've been going to this place for years and it is hands down the best sushi place ever.

Day 5

So this is my day 5 picture. I met a very nice man by the name of David yesterday. As I was walking to buy my lunch something inside me pulled me back to look his way. As soon as I said hello he responded with a smile and a nod. Very gentlemen like. He was extremely polite and very respectful. I wish most people I encountered out in public were like him. We ended up having a great conversation. We talked about photography, traveling, abandoned babies and orphans in Romania, and around the world. I told him about my 365 project and asked if I could take his picture and post it on the web. He once again responded with a smile, a nod and a yes. I have to say that meeting David was one of the highlights of my day. I have one more but I think I will blog about that another day.

I love my iphone.

Day 4-Happy Birthday Jojo!

Hi everyone, This is my day 4 of 365 picture. I entitled it "it's my party and I can be sad if I want to". Yesterday was Jojo's 5th birthday. Benny and I went out to dinner last night and unfortunately, by the time I went to see him it was close to bed time so he was a bit crabby.

I love this shot of all the kids in my life.

Day 3 of 365

I'm sorry but I don't have much to say about this picture. Well I guess I do, It's a trip. I got lucky I guess. It's totally different than anything that I have ever taken before but I think that's a good thing. Benny and I were driving today and I saw these two guys hanging out on top of a statue playing these flute like instruments. I just had to stop to take a picture. I was a little timid about interrupting their musical concert to nature but I did it. I had to.....I needed a cool picture for day three of my 365 project.

So I asked and the first thing they asked me was "do you have a flickr account?" All I could do was smile.

Oh by the way, I was not in East Los Angeles but I'm sure you already knew that if your from L.A.

365 Project

Hello out there and happy new year. I don't make resolutions but this year I have decided to challenge myself to a 365 project. I will be taking a picture a day and posting it to a flickr group that I belong to. 2 pictures down and 363 to go. So far so good. I'm quite proud of myself. =) I say that because when It comes to consistency well lets just say that I'm not very consistent. Take this blog for example, I am a horrible blogger. I take pictures all the time but when it comes to posting them and writing a little something about the pictures I just freeze. Like brain freeze and I can't think of anything to say. So I will do my best to post more pictures even if I don't write a story or a book to tell about my pictures. After all, this is my picture blog and I am using this as a means to document my life.

Day 1
This is my nephew Jojo. The sky was beautiful on new year's morning.


This is my tio Augie. I love my tio. It was just about an hour ago that he was trying to convince me to have a babies-lots of them and soon. He has 8 of his own. =) I come from a big mexican family.
