Blog Header Roundup : Spring - Fall of 2010

As of this writing, the photo at the top of the blog is this image, taken on August 16th, 2010 in Newport Beach, California.
I was rowing with passengers on the Phoenix and snapped the shot - with camera in one had, remo in the other.

This photo was taken some time in 1996 in Newport Beach.  The gondola is the Elisa Marie.  This is one of the first photos ever taken of the boat after her launch that year.

Taken September 15th at one of Sunset Gondola's get-togethers.  It has become a tradition to post the "group photo" here shortly after the get-togethers at Sunset Gondola.

Taken February 19th, 2008 from the back of the Phoenix in Newport

while the photo was shot two and a half years ago, the image is timeless.

This photo was shot on August 15th at Sunset Gondola
The gondolier is Chris "Rotto Sorriso"
This photo and others from the shoot were posted in "Early Evening Departure at Sunset Gondola"

This is one of my favorite blog headers yet, it was taken August 1st from the upper deck of one of Newport's charter yachts.

The gondolier is Steve Elkins, the boat is the Phoenix

This photo also served as the first header in the new format

The full shot can be seen in the post "Silhouette".

This one was shot on February 21st, 2010 - it was my birthday, so naturally I was having a great time that day.
The photographer was Shelly Ferraro - one of my passengers.
