Colorful pieces of fabric photographed in a Southern California market.

This photograph comes from a visit to a collection of craft stores at a San Diego location a few years ago. We were there on a family visit, but I rarely go anywhere without carrying a camera, and it was impossible to resist stopping to photograph these beautiful and wildly colorful bits of fabric at one of the shops.

Here in California these images and these colors are a part of our culture. That, of course, should be no surprise at all in a state where it is hard to travel more than a few miles without passing through a town or a county with a Spanish-language name: San Francisco, Merced, Los Angeles, and… San Diego.

A smiling pilot is visible through the cockpit window of the space shuttle Endeavour during its flyover of the NASA Ames Moffett Field.

Just for fun… this is a 100% magnification crop of a section of one of my photographs of the flyover by space shuttle Endeavour, mounted on its 747 transport aircraft. I made the photograph on September 21, 2012 as it flew over the NASA Ames Moffett Field in the San Francisco Bay Area. While working on the original photograph I was looking closely at it when I realized that the face of the pilot (co-pilot?) is visible in the cockpit window… and I swear he is grinning! :-)

(Since I know some will ask… Canon 5D2 with Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS, handheld.)
