If only I had my 30D about 14 years ago. I drive by the Long Beach State Pyramid while it was being constructed and I always thought the framing of it - before adding any of the exterior facia - would have made a perfect picture.

This is the closest thing I could find:

Before any of the blue sheets were added, it made for some really cool views.

I still have another idea, though.

That wasn't supposed to be an entry. Plus, I don't even like the picture - if I had taken that photo, I wouldn't even enter it

You could always hop over to France to shoot at the Louvre.

Please don't remind my of that place. I was there in 1987 with my AF squadron, when we got back to England I realized that I had lost 5 or 6 rolls film of my whole Paris trip.

I've never had the testicular fortitude to spar with you heavyweights and your 4-digit cameras, but here's my attempt:


Cat-centric Circles


I thought it was fitting to put my black cat in the 13th photo contest
