Myo from Yahoo LAdslr club was suggesting OC fair, OC fair and Disneyland's free area might make for a nice half day of shooting. I'd like to shoot the fair at night.

Well it's looking more like Myo and I are going to the OC on saturday.
Dan from lacdg is going to PV on Sunday to shoot equastrian stuff and it looks interesting to me, so I may go.
Let me know if anyone is interested. There are a lot of photogs online here from LA but I'm just puzzled why nobody wants to go out and shoot together.
Oh well.

I'm uploading the photos from the Orange County Fair as I type. It was large and had diverse photo ops.

Nice pix bvoi. I like the mood! Tom, I'll be checking out yours in a minute.

As for the GMAT, I sadly didn't pass. It was much harder than I expected, even though I knew it would be difficult. Apparently, studying for 4 weeks, 7 days a week just isn't nearly enough. I am not sure when I am going to take it again, but I'll start my planning this week. Ugh.

Hey Arie,
Sorry to hear about the GMAT. They say studying less hours but for longer periods lends to more retention. Perhaps that may help. Plus you know what the test is like so you can study for their style of testing.
Maybe second time around is a charm.
