here are a couple more from the aquarium in new zealand. ive always been a fan of the tiger fiish ever since i saw naked gun and lt. frank drebon stuck the fish with a pen behnid his back. classic. this thing was a pain in the ass to get a good picture of. there was not really any light in the tank, and i couldnt use a flash because it would reflect on the glass. therefore i had to make myself as still as a tripod(im sure i looked damn silly) and try not to move with the shutter bein open so long. this is the only one that really came out, the rest we very very blurry. the picture below was taken in an underwater tunnel. shit was very cool. it was about to be feeding time so there was an opening at the top of the tank where they would drop in food. thats what created the light effect at the top of the photo. ps. i wanna have a pool with a stingray one day.

50 on red…better be right
these are a couple of photos from las vegas. the one to the right is where we stayed, its called the stratosphere. the red light thing on top is actually a ride that shoots you to the top at a zillion miles an hour. i rode it 3 times and nearly vomited each time. the photo on the bottom was taken out of the window of our hotel room in the same building. the windows had somekind of double panes so you couldnt go too crazy and throw the chair out the window, but it made for a cool effect when i used the fisheye lens.this was probabaly the nicest hotel weve ever stayed in and it only cost 20 something dollars. i love vegas.
new zealand 2005
these are a few pictures from inside an aqarium in new zealand. we were lucky enough to get the hookup from a local core kid who worked there, and got a “backsatge” tour of the pengiun exibit. notice this is a point where i was using the fisheye lens way too much. ive calmed down with it since then. while taking these pictures i had to be wary of a trolly that would come by every few minutes of people checking out the pengiuns.if i didnt watch out, or have people looking for me, im sure i would have gotten runover. pretty high octane photo journalisum.
