Huntington Beach’s Main Street a mecca for partiers

Posted On: 7:01 a.m. | April 2, 2011

For better or worse, Huntington Beach has developed a reputation as a mecca for partiers (it even hosted the World Series of Beer Pong via satellite in 2008). Surfers, tourists, college students and gussied-up singles prowling for dates are among those who descend on the town’s Main Street every weekend in search of a good time.

Photographer’s journal: Bat cave assignment

Posted On: 5:01 a.m. | April 2, 2011

I jumped at the chance when photo editor Rob St. John asked me if I was interested in going to the caves of New Mexico in search of bats infected with white-nose syndrome.

Posted On: 11:25 a.m. | April 1, 2011

Spring comes a little late this year, and March brought us winter rainstorms, Mardi Gras and a St. Patrick's Day-themed Elmo. The images submitted remind us of the importance of always looking for that unique perspective, even if it's as simple as moving your frame to take advantage of negative space, as in the image of the Theme Building at LAX, or acting quickly to capture a decisive moment...
