It was a very strange year, to say the least.

Fall in Southern Cal??
Fall is all but gone, of course.
Fall is to me when I put the top down on my convertible, and the coming of the winter is when I get back to the car I only have to deal with a leaf, not a score of them.

A hippo in my office
Even though I do practically no outpatient work whatsoever, I still do have an office space. Now that our group goes to another facility, and myself being the new medical director there, I yet have another office there.
I buy these little "objects" and clutter my office with these, so that I can practice shooting when I am on call at the hospital. This is what I do between life and death. Go figure.

Already trying to get ahead - this little
This was the break she was looking for.
This particular footage was aired on a local cable show on Christmas eve, and this Hollywood movie director frantically placed a call at the cable station, the moment he saw my daughter sarcastically smiling into the camera, saying that she was the girl he was looking for for his next blockbuster movie.
The movie is based on the oldest novel known in existence; A tale of Genji. The cast will include Oscar winning actors, a great deal of computer generated motion graphics so advanced that the total production time is thought to be cut in less than half of the conventional method. Because of contractual obligation I cannot disclose not a whole lot more, but this is going to be big. Or so they tell me. They tell me that my little girl is going to be a star.

and then turn right, go all the way to the end of the hallway, then turn left. Go about 100 yards, then you will see a sign that says, "HIGHLY RESTRICTED AREA. STAFF ONLY!!!" You will quitely walk right by it, and then gradually gain speed, unless someone tries to stop you. In this rare instance all you have to do is not answer and run.

Where I work - part 2
This is the side that patients and their don't get to see - the back side. Over to the far right is the children's hospital. The round tower attached to the building houses patients of various origin, young and old. A chopper can land on top that the tower also. A short, flat, two story building situated directly in front that is the basic science building. This is where they "play" with animals. There is of course the other side of the compounds that you cannot see. It is a medium size university hospital. We serve the area of probably about 10 million people, 800 adult bes, 400 children's beds, every possible subspecialty represented.

Pentax FA 31/1.8 ltd
Many people choose to shoot with Pentax camera simply because of the FA ltds line up of lenses. There are three of them; 31, 43, and 77 mm. Some people swear by them, some get hard ons talking about them, and and if you bad mouth'ed them at Pentax Forum you will be dutifully crucified many times over.
I can see how people can get excited about these. This 31/1.8 in particular, along with the 77, is probably the best lens Pentax has ever produced.
Blah-blah-blah.
A new copy of this goes for close to $1,000. Hm . . . . .

Not quite good though. I could have used different angles. The concept was not bad, however. This is what they call a good try.

Raining a lot of late
In fact, of historic proportion. Actually, that might be a stretch, but this is the most rain I have seen in a long long long time.
