SANTA MONICA PIER

We've been up to some crazy shit the past few nights...so why stop now. We continued the mishegas last evening by going to the Santa Monica Pier and then to dinner at Shutters. Ya know, easy drive to Santa Monica, just valet at the mall, hop skip and a jump to the pier and shoot over to Shutters.

In theory, should work fine, right? Well, valet didn't pan out as 600 other people had the same idea, got honked and yelled at as I pulled into the parking structure up the street - had no idea all the cars in the right lane weren't moving so cut around everyone to only get my head chewed off by some dude probably from Hyde Park taking his girl on a big date. To my luck, of course the elevator stopped on floor 5 and he and his girl got on and road with us to street level! We walked along Ocean Ave aka bumb row, and entered the pier which was like the Minnesota State Fair on steroids. Sylvie had her little heart set on a ride or two so we got tickets and did a couple - she was overwhelmed of course - but made it through like a star. Shutters wasn't far away so we made a res and walked along the beach sidewalk, stepped over a nice smelly doggie poop, and arrived.

It was a great evening and perfect time to shoot with the sun setting. Love these long days and long shadows, lots of color and the pier provided a lot of eye candy. Boy do I love my M9 with a sick 35mm Summarit f/2.5!
Sylvie is not in this picture! Susu hanging on to Sylvie for dear life! Amanda can't believe this is happening. My favorite! My other favorite...
