Day 529 - Halloween Signs - 10.31.12

I finally got back to work today.  The bummer part of the whole day was the fact that I was booked in meeting all day long because I had bumped my Monday and Tuesday meetings to today.  I even worked through lunch.  So when there was all sorts of cool Halloween activities happening at work, I couldn't break free to take any photos.  I pretty much knew the day was going to be like that from the start which is why I took this picture first thing in the morning.  It was something I saw today.

Day 526 - Sparkly Skull - 10.28.12

This may be too much information, but today's photo is the result of being very sick last night.  Had a night of violent puking, which has left me tired and weak.  So I am not leaving the house and had to find something around the house as a subject.  This sparkly skull is out for Halloween and seemed simple enough.  It was something I saw today.

Day 524 - Food Truck Night - 10.26.12

In Burbank on the last Friday of every month Food Trucks line Magnolia Blvd. in the evening.  I had never gone to this event, but I have wanted to for months since I heard about it.  I didn't want to go for the lines or the food.  I can take a pass on that.  I was interested in the photo opportunities.  Well tonight I went and brought my tripod.  I took a few photos.  The sidewalks were pretty crowded, which made it a little harder, but I got a couple shots I like.  This scene here was something I saw today.

Day 507 - DreamWorks At Sunset - 10.09.12

The sky was beautiful as I was leaving work this evening.  However the real reason I stopped for this photo was I liked the way the light was hitting the side of the Campanile building tower.  I thought it was cool against the sky.  It was something I saw today.
