T-shirts are an individual’s way of explaining to the world who they are, what products they like, places that they’ve visited, what company they work for, what humors them or the politics that they follow.

Let’s see how these examples fit in to the above description.

Spectacular Water Shows at The Bellagio

From 1980 to 2012 we were part of the computer industry and would travel two or three times a year to Las Vegas to attend Comdex, Computer Electronics Show and other expos. When I was off the clock I’d often explore nearby Death Valley, Red Rock Canyon or Zion. Otherwise I would walk the Strip to visit the city’s many casinos.

There has always been intensive competition among the casinos vying to outdo each other to draw more gamblers and guests to their respective venues. I recall when the Mirage opened in 1990 it featured a huge, colored fire-breathing volcano to draw attention to its new facility. Not to be outdone, in 1998 when the Bellagio opened a few block away it showcased a huge gorgeous lake on which lighted water fountains danced to music to wave potential guests into its spacious casino.

Turn up your sound! I’ve recorded three of these exciting, picturesque fountain performances below for you to enjoy.

Please note that each geyser is on a separate page in order to minimize web page delay.

Photographing the Picturetakers

Pictures of People Taking Pictures

Over the years, I’ve taken a lot of photographs.

While I have many idiosyncrasies, one of them is observing and sometimes photographing others who are also taking photographs.

I’ve captured a bunch of photographers taking pictures of their relatives and friends and/or the scenic surroundings that I am also there to record. Some are funny, some are serious. I have a good time recording these picture.

Below is part of my collection. Keep in mind that I am not photographing the surroundings, only the picturetaker. They are arranged by the location where taken and when possible I’ve included the date taken.
