The Baja 500 is this coming weekend and yesterday( Monday, May 31,2010) I took the quad and looked for a spot to photo and video the race as it comes into Erendira. Anyone familiar with this area probably knows of Baja Malibu and I was on the course above Malibu. Just a 3 shot sequence I took of...

I haven´t made the move to a DSLR but I did spend way to much time reading all the info I could Google up. I ended going backwards. I had a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 which I pretty much destroyed during the November 2009 Baja 1000. I was going to replace the FZ7 with a DSLR but went into information...

Here is a short story(edited) about my first trip to Hawaii, winter of 1961-1962. If you decide to read it scroll down to the 4th photo (color) with the surfboard shop and right below that you will see my name, George Lanning. Actually all of the short stories are fun to read. Link below...

I saw this surfboard for sale today on the San Diego craigslist. The reason I am posting this ad is because in 1960 I was the sander for AJ surfboards and sanded this board and in fact I lived in the shop the last half of my senior year of high school and graduated from La Jolla High that year...

I am looking for a scanner so I can follow the drivers locations during the Baja 500 & 1000 off road races. Anyone have one they might consider selling? Thanks

The Canon A series is notorious for the retractable lens cover not to fully open. A while back my first digital was the Canon A530 and that began to happen often. My solution? I unscrewed the lens ring and the blades that made up the retractable lens cover came out and problem solved. I made...

Trevor: USA did beat Finland today and is advancing to the Gold medal game on Sunday. Now, you Canucks need to beat Slovakia to make it to the Gold medal game. Canada has a great chance to accomplish that. Sundays game will be exactly to the day that the USA beat the Czechoslovakians for the...

I just checked KEH(www.keh.com) and they have a Pentax 100D with lens and accessories for $254 in Excellent Plus condition. Pentax DSLR´s accept any Pentax lens ever produced, or so I have read. If you decide to check out the 100D at KEH once at their site click on "digital" and then "Pentax"...

It seems every time I do not have a camera I regret it. Now that the last Baja 1000 fried my Panasonic FZ7( actually I did but blaming the 1000 sounds more manly) I carry my Canon A520 and an Olympus Stylus Epic(film) every day and I am thrilled with the results. I remembered this morning that...

I tried to think of something clever to say after I read this ad posted today on the San Diego Craigslist. Here is the first sentence including the title. For sale: Canon Powershot G10 $360 ¨I am selling my Canon Powershot G10 as I now mostly use my iPhone.¨

Flip Flops!!!!!! The name alone "Tiki Bar" makes those Tevas formal wear so your flip flops or bare feet and a Hawaiian shirt. However, if the Tiki Bar has a wedding then you might dress up and bring out the Tevas.

Things like this are different in Baja. An act of nature. Since the boat is wood I am sure the next large swell with a high tide will wash it out to sea. The boat has been stripped and the hull was damaged extensively when it came ashore as the cove is all volcanic rock. There was no chance the...

The "Lunker" as she sits now. At about 7am pst I took the attached 2 photos. The boat has been stripped of its diesel engine and all electronics that last couple of days. Anything of value has been salvaged and an early high tide with strong surf broke the back of the "Lunker".

This boat came into the cove in front of my house in Erendira last night. It has been for the last 3 years moored offshore and I was quite surprised yesterday when the captain hadn´t moved it to Ensenada. Around 3 p.m. yesterday I mentioned to my guests that I had seen the boat weather larger...

Hi Scott. I see that you and Sexy6chick are using Olympus. I have been seriously thinking of moving to either Olympus or Pentax. Would you mind posting which model of Olympus you are using. My thoughts towards Pentax was for weather sealing plus all the available lens and Olympus for too many...
