Rain Shine Snow or Hail

Its been raining in Los Angeles for almost a week now and many of my colleagues (Shout Out to Jacqueline) have been motivated to get out there and shoot. Not me, I have been inside complaining about the rain as well as complaining about not being able to get out and shoot. Today, that all came to an end and just as soon as there was a low in the rain I dashed out to the Post Office (with camera) to get what I thought was my 22x15 photo paper for my up coming show and was too surprised to get cookies (from Scott ) -Big Smile- On the way there and back I was able to capture a few images and quench my thirst which should hold me for a day or two. 

The forecast for rain: continuous for the next 4 days.

My name is Darnell Bates, I am a photographer in Long Beach, CA @ DB8S Photography

There is so much to say and do, yet before I do, I would like to  open with a scripture passage (please know that I am a spiritual person and practice SGI Buddhism and gather wisdom and experiences from many sources) that expresses my romantic side for the environment and love for environmental landscape photography. Also, note that the sources are a always for the advancement of the environment, the goodness of man and myself.

For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 3:19
