    While I'm not completely positive on the point and sort of feel like echoing Csar's post, there are some nice shots in there. The ones in your 4th post especially make 5th Avenue seem an interesting place.

    Whats with the English flag on pics 6 & 7? Just intrigued. Looks a bit out of place with all the Stars and Stripes around it.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Excellent work, soly. You have a really good eye and a style of composition that wll serve you well in a more 'journalistic' setting in Iraq. I love the quirkiness you saw and recorded (like the dog). Gives a real flavour of the day.

    I'm not sure it is our flag, due to the fact that the top right corner of it is sky blue.

    Amazingly well-focused shots for the camera just bouncing along on your chest. Are you reaching up to click the shutter, or using one of those 2'-3' long corded remotes, to keep your hands free?

    I'll work on that while you're gone. Tuesdays we have "farmer's market", and Fridays "Cruisin' Grand" (50s/60s cars parading), with lots of pedestrians. Other times its a ghost town.

    Maybe more interesting if Tachi did a walking tour of the so-called Gaslamp district in downtown San Diego. Lots to see there, and more californi-esque.
