Thai New Year Festival

Thai New Year Festival
Thai Town (Hollywood)
April 2009

Eh, I'm disappointed in my pictures. Most of them came out overexposed or underexposed, or just plain lousy framing wise. It wasn't a great day to take pics- it was hot and crowded and random limbs kept getting in my shots. Plus it was too sunny, I forgot my lens hood, and I stopped caring about setting my exposure correctly since I couldn't see my pics after I took them. The above pics came out okay. We went when the festival was winding down in terms of performances so I didn't really get any action shots. The food vendors were going strong, but I was more focused on making my way through the crowd than I was taking pictures of it. But hey, the recyclemobile is cool. :)

Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair

My favorite, Jer took this pic and we cropped it. It was some sponge game.


I loved these thingys!

Cute puzzle but I wouldn't pay $22 for it

Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair

It was nice to walk through so we wouldn't mind coming back. Not a very diverse fair though. I think we were the only 100% Asian couple, everyone else was white, or a Asian girl/white guy combo. The art was kinda boring. Every photography stall had the same pics of the pier. I liked watching the kids play games though, and it's always nice to support local folks (food vendors, etc), even if they're really rich and well off. :P $6 for a tri tip sandwich isn't so shabby either!

Abbot Kinney Festival

Cute background, I could imagine the possibilities of an e-shoot in Abbot Kinney


Geez look at the dog. The owner has style though!


Cute lime green color


Mural, fun colors


He loves me, he loves me not!
