Another great trip to California
In May I was invited to this really cool multi-day event that Sony puts on that they call Kando. This year was the second year it was held in Monterey, California. While I was there I was able to sit in on learning opportunities with some of the better known photographers that use Sony cameras. A couple of the sessions involved photographing people, something I don't do a lot of. I even learned about lighting and there were professional models working with us making everything easier. During that session I really felt that the models and my camera were doing most of the work once the lighting was set up.
It was a 3 day + thing and I must say that I came away from it with a deeper understanding of a lot of the photographic disciplines that I don't usually do. I met some really nice and talented people as well.
I flew out a week ahead of the Kando event to visit my daughter and her fiance, who live in California and then drove around some familiar places and some new places in California and Oregon following interesting weather when I could. I borrowed my daughters camper van and camped as much as possible.
Here are a few images from the "camping" trip

Treasure Beach, Jamaica
Treasure Beach on the quiet southwest corner of Jamaica holds the Calabash Literary Festival every two years. This was my first trip to Jamaica. I went with my friend Rob who goes to Treasure Beach every year in July to run a clinic. He sees hundreds of people while he is there as a dermatologist and although the folks that he knows there knew he was coming this time for fun, they talked him into doing an ad hoc clinic anyway.
I really enjoyed Jamaica, Treasure Beach and the Calabash Festival. I left my computer at home by design and forgot my phone in my car at the airport parking lot (by accident) so I was chillin' big time for the 4 days we were there.
Here are a few images from the festival and the beautiful area that it was held in.
