August 2004

August is only half over but lots has happened. Here are just some of the exciting things to enjoy. August is the first month I've been shooting with my new 20mm f2.8 Nikkor. It has a 94 degree angle of view and seems to be very sharp. I hope to post some neat photos in the future.

General Subjects for August 2004
Meatball is Chuck and Judy's cat. He likes hanging around our house because he likes being stepped on by Ashley and Alex. Weird cat.	My sweetie in Long Beach.	Perry and Marie return from six weeks in South America.	Marilyn has a wine tasting party. We drank a lot and had good food.
Sunset at Ocean Beach Pier. This is why we live here.
The Long Beach Aquarium Since my sales rep Craig Spencer wussed out on me this year, I found myself without a job on Tuesday, when the SAAC Fishing Trip went out on the boat. Of all the amazingly insensitive things that Craig has done to me this year, missing the fishing trip was the worst. To console myself, I took Diana to the Aquarium and took these photos. There are some really amazing things here.
This is one of the Star Trek fish series.	This should be what a photo from the Hubble Space Telescope might look like.		"Boldly going where no man has gone before..."


Tommy Thompson Old Globe Tour August 9, 2004 Tommy is a San Diego treasure. He has been the most visible face of the Old Globe Theater for as long as Diana and I have been attending. Periodically, he gives a comprehensive tour of the theater and we got to join the group on Monday, August 9th. These are my favorite photos from the evening.
