A quick history of cameras

For this week's Photo Hunt challenge of "camera," I dug through the archives for this image taken on our California trip last year. This is the window display for Arcade Camera on Avenida Del Mar in San Clemente. Anyone who takes the time to create a display like this deserves a shout out.
The quality isn't great (my auto-focus kept going for the reflection in the glass), but I like it for the sake of the subject matter.

UPDATE - 10/01/07

Once again, it's the one you'd least suspect that prevails: this shot won First Place in the
Photo Hunt challenge! Focus problems and all!
Thanks to everyone who voted for it!

Sun-dappled Clover


I spotted (no pun intended!) this clover while cooking on the grill on our front porch. The sun was shining through a leaf that was partially insect-eaten, producing these tiny points of light on the clover leaves!
Luckily, the kebabs didn't burn as I ran to get my camera.

Field Trip to the Beach/Coneheads


While on our recent trip to California, we were eating breakfast across from the pier in San Clemente when a school bus pulled up, disgorging a whole bunch of kids ready for a day at the beach. I especially liked these "coneheads"!
I'm posting this for the "Baggage" entry into
Photo Hunt .
More pix from San Clemente coming soon to
my Flickr page.
