Always Carry a Camera (Phone?)

I've been pretty much taking a camera with me wherever I go - you never know what you might see.  Or what, or who, you might want to photograph, as the following illustrates.

Two very nice hitchhikers I picked up while driving from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara in the late 1970's. They were so nice, had to take their picture - who knew that one day it would end up on FB, or a blog, LOL? In fact, who, back then, could have imagined the internet?

When this photo was shot, there was no way to share it with more than just a few people.  You photographed something, got your film processed and had prints made, and that was pretty much it, unless you could get it published somewhere.  Now, here it is for anyone who stops by to see.

The following image was a bit more planned, at the beach in Malibu:

Sun slightly off to the side and behind, reflector in front.  Simple lighting with beautiful results.
