Anza Borrego Spring

A group of photographers from San Diego went on a fun filled trip to Anza Borrego Spring. It was my first trip to the desert and I was wholly unprepared... I brought lots of chocolates and no water. I ended up bringing back a lot of melted chocolate bars that no one wants. It was fun filled trip... so fun that I dreamed of a cold ice cola the entire time. At the end of the trip... I was ran over by some light emitting vehicles. Here are some pictures from that trip taken with the Canon 10D or the Olympus C-2100Uz (UZi). Comments are welcome. Thank you.

For someone who was "roadkill" in one of my photos, you got some nice shots off before you "died". ;)
