I don't think so. Not anything I could find. We stayed there over one weekend and our room had those views.

Cool... no sky scrapers in DC, and no colorful buildings like that here. I like the angle from which your shot was taken.

Messed around with a rope light to make a ring light. I like the light, but it isn't bright enough. It needs a bit of work and I think it will work.

And this is just another random shot...

I've been digging all the menorah shots on my flickr contact stream... There sure is a lot of variety in menorahs!

Anyway, here's one I took in PR a couple of days ago:

oh my god! I broke the "everything in a photo must be in focus" rule!!

a) its not even a serious shot its just a casual snap I posted to show her dress b) there's no such rule c) being in movie-land you of all people should know that

I am disappoint, Sarlacc.

a) What the hell are you talking about? b) seriously, what the hell are you talking about c) no really, I have no clue what you are bitching about here.

I simply stated of the 3 chicks you got the ugly one in focus...Is that something you really want to get your thong in a twist about?

That girl in the purple dress in Srika's 2nd pic has some busted knees.

Looks like a cool party though.
