Disco Expressions had their second “official” gig last Friday at the Continental Club this past Friday.
By all accounts, it was a huge success.
My best picture of Jim performing to date:
Paul Beebe was a little bit frightening:

Big Sandy and Los Straitjackets
Big Sandy joined forces with Los Straitjackets last week at the Continental Club.
Los Straitjackets did their usual thing with Big Sandy joining them a few times during the night to sing some songs.
There’s just something compelling about an instrumental band that plays surf music while wearing Mexican wrestling masks.

Last night, in the back room of the Continental Club, I was asked by Trisha to take a picture or her, her sister Becky and David Beebe. I pulled out the camera and popped the flash and shot one shot. I forgot I had it in program mode and set to black and white.
Here is the result:
I like it.
The serious look on the face of The Colonel (David Beebe) is contrasted by the playful smiles of The Dancing Sisters and the whole picture is sent into a bit of a tailspin by the perpendicular “Where’s Waldo” cameo appearance of Conn in the lower right corner.
More pictures of the evening’s festivities coming soon.
Who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?
Last day here so I had to get some shots of the ducks lounging in the lobby fountain.
Shot with the 1.4 50mm
Peabody Duck Quackros!
Florida Lizard II
There have been some requests *cough*cynthia*cough* for more duck parade photos.
Perhaps tomorrow I will be able to sneak away and get a few more.
In the meantime, FLORIDA LIZARD MACROS!
Florida Lizard
The lizards here are quite cool. Very shy, though. I shot this with the 300mm fully extended.
Lizardo – portrait macros
Here are a few more in a bit larger, portrait format.
Best viewed at full size…
Lizardo – King of our yard-o
I spotted Lizardo as he was leaping onto a palm frond in the front garden. It’s the first sighting of him since acquiring the new camera. I quickly affixed the Tamron AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di in the hopes of getting a macro shot of the big fella.
Oddly enough, he did not retreat as I moved toward him and took aim. In fact at one point he started to move toward the camera. I supsect he saw his reflecting in the lens and perhaps saw it as a rival lizard trespassing on his domain.
Whatever the reason, he allowed me to get quite close.
