This Sora was way to close to the boardwalk for the Tamzooka, so I moved down the boardwalk, hung the camera over the side and hoped for the best. Got four usable shots out of ten.

This is Al. We've known him for a couple of years from a breakfast restaurant we use to frequent. I was waiting outside the barbershop shooting the pelican when he showed up. He looked at me and asked if I was going to take his picture. I told him to stay where he was since I was to close with the Tamzooka and I moved about ten feet away.
