San Francisco is on the cities with a great downtown and this ice skating ring is in the middle of Union Square near Macys. Its always crowded around end of the year with tourists and locals shopping and having fun
A circus performer is done with a fantastic acrobatic trick! I must have taken 100′s of images that night some I have posted here, others are just sitting on my hard drive.
Although they are posing I took a candid photo just a few seconds before. They caught me and asked me to take another photo so they can keep it and I gave them my card. They have yet to contact me for the photo! Maybe its just not that good. If you know them – let them know. Obviously, the candid did not come out as that would be what I would have displayed here.
Not really an outtake, but I like the way it came out. I used Sony NEX-5 with Leica Summicron 50mm lens to shoot this photo. She is due in January of 2012 and is naming her daughter Sasha (same as my daughter).
From a photowalk near downtown. This is Brian Rose from Google+ wife, I never got her name. The entire walk she was staying in the peripherals of the group. Sniping shots here and there and then checking them. I just happen to snipe one of her. 
A photographer is in deep thought on a photowalk in downtown Los Angeles, California. Her name is Christi Nielsen and her G+ page is located here. Always a good rule to follow think first, act second. From one of the walk near Little Tokyo.
An outtake from a portrait shoot with Nickey Collier in Los Angeles Griffith Park Observatory. The Collier family was very fun to photograph and wanted something special to mark an important milestone in their life. Los Angeles downtown is makes for a great background and we got lucky with the weather and sunset colors.
Out for a Photowalk with some Google+ photogs. There are a few people in the Los Angeles area who love to shoot at night. Hooking up with them has been very helpful in both meeting new people and in practicing long exposures and getting out of the comfort zone. This particular night had some of the fastest winds ever in Pasadena. We walked around until past midnight – photographing, chatting.. I had a great time!
This image is from Ventura Blvd. near Tarzana, California for for one reason or another there are many lingerie shops. There are many older people living in this part of the valley, but there are also quite a few young people as well.. 
Pasadena Old Town Bridge at night. This photo was taken during the biggest and windiest night! November 30th, 2011. It was another photowalk through G+ this time in Pasadena. Quite a few people were there initially, but eventually dropping of to a group of about 6. We shot until midnight and socilized kind of geeking out!
