This past weekend was incredibly busy, but I managed to snag a few minutes to take a walk in downtown La Jolla again around sunset, and this time my girlfriend was able to come too! Unfortunately, we were moving quickly and there was no time for a photo shoot, so all I have to show are an enjoyable evening and some cool photos from the sea-side village.

When crossing the street in front of the St. James by-the-sea church (editors note: See previous post) and the
Museum of Contemporary Art, I saw this old VW van cruising towards me. I shot this off the cuff, but I really liked the palms in the background. Of course, being off the cuff, the lighting was a bit crazy, but I still enjoyed looking at the shot.

After sunset, we took the long way back around to my car, and right as the light was disappearing, I saw this neat rusty piece of street art. I was just going to get a shot of it as it was, but Jackie took the initiative and spun the number (thanks
Jackie!) giving a really neat effect with the medium length exposure. Plus, 7 is a good, stereotypical, lucky number. Seen in this light, this photo can be seen as an omen of things to come, as we got
Don Carlos right after! (Editors note: Go to Don Carlos if you are in La Jolla. It is tasty.)
