 Daily Photo - Under the Docks in California
 Some of you remember the great photowalk we had down in San Clemente.  I really had a good time there.  On my photowalks, typically I stop from time to time and tell the assembled crowd what I am doing.  Well, I finally got a chance to process this quintet!
 
 I felt fortunate to have a good friend that had an amazing condo that overlooked this same beach.  Frankly, after a long day and night of shooting, I felt spoiled and happy just taking a few more steps to my pad...  grabbing some cool drinks... opening the patio doors to listen to the surf... good times!
 
 New Interview with Matt Brandon
 Matt is a really nice guy, and I enjoyed our time together for the interview.  He runs a website called The Digital Trekker, and he has just recently posted the interview at that link.  His podcast is called "Depth of Field", so be sure to check it out!
 
 Want to know something really strange?  We were on the same flight from Tokyo to San Francisco a few weeks ago, and I didn't even know it! :)  I found out about this later via Twitter -- he walked by me, and I was deeply engrossed in something on my laptop!

Wormsloe, the Endless Forest of Savannah - 16,000 pixels wide!

 My Biggest Photo Ever and Flickr can't handle it
 The TIFF of the photo below is 984 megs, and the JPG is 124 megs!  It's about 16,000 pixels across and very fun to zoom in on as you go down the lane.  I dropped it to 12,000 pixels so I could upload, but, I feel a little short-changed!
 
 You can see the Original Size below...  
 
 I wish Flickr would offer a premium subscription where I could post huge photos.  I'd gladly pay 0 a year for a premium subscription that gets me all sorts of extra features, like big photos, high quality videos like my Vimeo sub, tier 1 tech support, and all sorts of other goodies.
 
 Another Forest Photo, Hanging at HQ of Flickr Competitor
 
 The fine people at Smugmug (see my port there at stuckincustoms.smugmug.com/) have chosen my Bamboo Forest photo to hang inside their headquarters in California.  They are actually building a 60" lightbox behind it.  I'll see it in person in a few weeks when I go visit the crew there.  I'm looking forward to it!
 
 Daily Photo - Wormsloe, the Endless Forest of Savannah
 My friend Scott Kublin (who made it to my Favorites page on my iPhone...  he was at the bottom, but I just moved him up above the babysitter) lives in Savannah, so it was good to visit him on my little road trip.  He commented that regular visitors to Stuck In Customs would probably like to see current shots while I am traveling around!  So, here it is!  However, this one took about 3-4 hours to edit, five cups of coffee, and several pieces of pie.  Did you see my little "Buy Trey Chocolate For Energy" there in the right column?  Yes, I burn through copious calories to create these things.  This one almost broke my back, but I am very happy with it.
 
 Some of you may remember this place from Forest Gump...  A lot of it was shot down in Savannah.  Besides Wormsloe, I also visited some amazingly moody cemeteries, draped in mossy trees.  I'll get to editing those photos another time... maybe when I get back home to Texas!

Walking the Streets of France After Dark 
 
 
 Image by Stuck in Customs 
 I don't sleep much, even when I am home here in Texas.  I get a good 5-6 hours of sleep a night; but when I travel, I'm so charged up I get less.  These foreign city streets seem to have a romantic sense about them, so that impedes even more on my sleep since there are so many great places to shoot.
 
 This perfect little European medieval street was in Lyon, if I am not mistaken.  Sometimes I forget here in my old age.  There's a 10% chance it is in Paris. There's a long path from click to final image and my memory fades betwixt.
