DOG BEACH | San Diego
I have been remiss about updating my blog lately, so in the next few days I hope to remedy that problem with some new posts sharing some experiences since last Christmas. I thought I would start out with Dog Beach, which is a leash free area to run your dog on the shore of the Pacific Ocean just north of San Diego. My wife Kim and I, along with our dog Shadow, spent a wonderful couple of weeks at her mother’s house on Point Loma in San Diego over Christmas and New Year’s Holidays.

It happened to be a Saturday afternoon and I was watching some college football with some buddies at Baker Street Pub & Grill, when one of them told me there was a car show going on in the plaza at Sugar Land Town Square just down the street. He thought there might be some interesting shots there since he knew I was interested in photography. I grab the camera and went down there to find some really neat cars, both old and new, shined to the max. I took multiple handheld exposures of these cars and processed them in HDR.
