Hey Jeff
You sure seem to be having a great time doing all this traveling and living like the locales. Great pics! Almost like being there. Not really :( I like the B&W's with some color. How do you do that?

Hey Wayne...

The two pics on this post were taken at a local, Saturday morning market around the corner from the house I'm staying at. The images were not composed in the camera; I was walking through the outdoor booths with my camera at my side, and I was clicking random angles.

When I reviewed what I had taken, there were a couple of shots that were interesting and I used Photoshop to convert parts of the image to black and white, while keeping the main focus in color.

This experiment supports my theory: that "even a monkey can take professional-looking photos." It's a numbers game; the more pics you take, the greater the likelihood that you've got an interesting one.

I shot hundreds of images at the market... only a couple were any good... (Actually, a monkey might have done better than me; but, does the monkey have a blog? So there... !!!)

Take it easy...

Hello Mom,

I love the Opera House... it's architecturally beautiful and it's the heart of music, dance, theatre and art in Sydney. Every evening there are several performances going on.

Last Friday I went to the premiere of a play by the Sydney Theatre Company, while there was an Indie Film Festival and a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet taking place at the same time.

The Opera House is a hive of activity and it's a great place to sit by the harbor, sip a glass of wine and people watch.

Friday, I'm attending a Sydney Symphony performance at the Opera Concert Hall. I think I need to dress up a bit, hmmmm.

Love you, Mom.

Hey JP...it was nice to talk with you...and I love those blue crocs. Where can I buy me a pair? L

Hey L... ebay is the place to buy all styles of jellies... or Goodwill. They're "retro" and probably get snatched up quickly :-)... so if you find any you should buy them. J
