Some of these images were taken on a trip to China in June 07, while others were taken in the U. S. A second look sometimes provides a way to make an image work better. Time can help provide one a second chance at an image, where life in general isn't so generous. The surfer frog and sombrero are new images. Some others, like the duck and three men on a wall, come from film negatives, scanned (three passes) and converted to black and white, or not. There's an image from San Francisco, at night, and others from the Living Desert Animal Park and Botanical Garden in Palm Desert, CA. And there's an image of the Black Pearl, from Pirates of Caribbean film, and beloved trains near San Bernardino, CA.
