Ballona Creek, Marina Del ReyThese pictures were shot with a Hi8mm video camera, then later digitized on an 'Indy' Silicon Graphics workstation in 1998. Because these were shot on analog video, the quality sucks by today's standards. But in those days, scanning analog video to digital was High Technology.. so you betta 'recognize!

Rancho Palos Verdes
This is kinda a nice walk I discovered just driving around the Palos Verdes area,
after seeing it from the sky on a flight to NYC. The planes take off from LAX,
flying out towards the sea, then turn around 180 degrees and often pass over
the Palos Verdes point. I recall seeing the caves from the air and thinking,
I gotta drive down there and check that out. I could see there was a road
that runs along the cliffs, and trails down to the beach.

Huntington Gardens, Pasadena Click on the images to see the full size scans. These pictures are scaled down versions of scans from black & white photographs I'd taken during Thanksgiving weekend, 1998. Note: if these images look too dark, use this gamma test pattern to correctly adjust your screen brightness/contrast; Look at the image with eyes squinted, and adjust your monitor until the first and second rows of grayscales appear as similar as possible. Oh, all right, they're just dark images.
