We have a master of cerermonies who helps everyone know when and where the events are.

And at the end, the fire department brings all it's engines (even an antique hand pumped one) and sprays everyone and everything in sight.

Great images. Have you given much thought to the FM monthly photo contest "Facial Expressions"? I see a couple here that would be a good entry.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never entered a FM MA. Facial expressions is one I could get into.

Rutt I love those, just love them. There is feeling in the photography! Good doG!

god, I love those! Can't say much else.
I think the light thing has you confused. Just take a basic formula shot, you know a storm, a bridge in the background, etc. I haven't gotten down to the beach at dawn, don't know quite what is wrong with me. But that is what these people seem to be into, and they are good. I wish I had been down at the beach all thse mornings, but really, I couldn't. I might. You could find your beach, some one place on that island that you love. Study it, meditate it, then be there at dawn, and dusk, to after dark, smile.

But you have such feeling for that island. I love those July 4th on the 3rd photographs.

This one's cool, I like how the heads get bigger on the sort of diagonal line.

This one's creepy; reminds me of The Shining.
