Photoalley.com's competition, "Digitally Enhanced" closes March 15, 2002. It's a good investment to submit your work; there are no entry fees, you can upload your entries, and the top two prizes are 3.3 Megapixel digital cameras. It's a fun site- your peers rate your images with one to four stars. I have some images on the site, and people have been very helpful with their reviews.

Photographed the Chinatown parade this morning. Neighborhood business owners hang long bunches of red paper firecrackers from their storefronts, and then ignite them after the ceremonial dragon pays a visit. The incessant blasts from the cheap explosives filled the air with putrid smoke, creating an opportunity to make pictures that resemble more of a war zone than a parade.
It was cool. New Chinatown images. These are just a few. I'll edit them and post the best ones later.
