A Legend by Steve Buffington

I have had the good fortune to photograph David Carradine many times over the last decade and it seemed appropriate to post this shot of him at this time. It is a recent capture in what was perhaps the last public performance he gave. I was not close friends with him. It was a comfortable professional relationship between photographer and celebrity. What I can tell you without reservation is that the man treated people with dignity and respect. He was always willing to have a picture taken with an adoring fan and they were always bigger fans after meeting him. While we all have to take the trip he is now on, it does not mean that those left behind won’t miss him. He was a good man and an icon. (Taken in Los Angeles with a Nikon D300 using a Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 lens).

Hiding by Anne-Marie Bokslag

Walking along Lake Machado in Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park I met this little squirrel. / The moment he saw me he ran up into a small palm tree and that was a mistake because as long as I was there under that tree taking pictures of him he couldn’t get away. / No surrounding trees, only one way to get out…. going down …. but there was that woman with the camera. / So he was hiding himself behind a branche of that small palm tree…at least he thought he did….lol. / After while … and lots of shots I went away and the poor little guy was free to go…. Canon EOS 40D / Canon Zoom lens EF 80-200mm / Exposure time 1/160s / Aperture value f/5.6 / ISO 400 / Focal length 190mm
