Fortunately, I am no longer from the Long Beach area. I have moved to Washington State. My family is still all there in Downey actually. I like going back once or twice a year for holidays or vacation and take pictures so that I can remember how it used to be. Honestly, I like love the beach, but I like the life better away from the Los Angeles area.
Shot yesterday evening. I just love that Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro lens, it rarely leaves my camera nowadays. Maybe I should buy that 50-200 to get a bit more flexibility?
