National Orange Show’s Wine and Food Under the Stars, 2011

“Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.”

-- Aristophanes

Another project from that documentary class was doing some coverage for the 24^th Annual Wine and Food Under the Stars fundraiser event at the National Orange Show grounds in San Bernardino.  Of course, this was back in Oct 2011 when I was in that class so these photographs are a bit dated but I’m catching up.  And I liked these.  I liked a lot more of the 200 or so photos I took but this is a good sample of the better ones.  And if you ever go to this event, it is a lot of fun and the food is great.  Not to mention the wine (and beer).  Enjoy.

National Orange Show Quarter Midget Racing

“The best inheritance a parent can give to his children is a few minutes of their time each day.”

Here is a sample another sample of my work done in my documentary photography class.  We had to document this event at the National Orange Show grounds in San Bernardino.  This event was Quarter Midget Racing.  That’s kids racing in cars around a track – like little league for NASCAR.  This was awesome (I even thought about doing it with my kids).  I shot it with my handy Canon PowerShot S5 IS and my Ricoh KR-5 superII 35mm film cameras.  This time the film was loaded correctly (see previous post for explanation).  I’m only showing the digital shots here though as I have yet to scan my film.  These kids were great.  Enjoy.
