2007-04-15 - Solo SCCA San Diego Autocross @ Qualcomm

chris@lapadasolutions.com (Chris Lapada | Lapada Gallery | LapadaGallery.com) — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 05:17:00 GMT

I had other plans for this day, but decided in the last minute to check out the Solo SCCA San Diego Autocross at the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot. I got to say, I had a great time and I'm glad that I came and watched.

As far as shooting...I was shooting with a Canon 20d and 28-135mm IS. I would have loved to take photos of the cars/drivers doing their thing on the course, but I didn't have a long enough lens to do so. I'm going to have to be a bit more prepared the next time I go. I also wasn't feeling too creative this day and just started clicking away. More like just capturing and documenting the event for those who weren't there.

In the meantime, check out the photos...

2007-05-21 - La Jolla Shores, San Diego, California

chris@lapadasolutions.com (Chris Lapada | Lapada Gallery | LapadaGallery.com) — Thu, 24 May 2007 01:29:00 GMT

We stopped by La Jolla Shores after going through UCSD here in San Diego, California. I'm not sure why we stopped by, but we really didn't have anything to loose by doing so. It was a nice day and wanted to cruise, so what the heck, let's just go. Today had a bit of an overcast. I shouldn't say a bit, it was just cloudy and the sun didn't want to show its face. We made do and just took some quick pictures to share with the world.

2007-07 - Tuna Harbor, San Diego, California

chris@lapadasolutions.com (Chris Lapada | Lapada Gallery | LapadaGallery.com) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 19:20:00 GMT

It’s a beautiful day here in San Diego and decided to stop by Tuna Harbor. I’ve driven by the area on numerous occasions, but never have gotten out of the car to take it all in.

Tuna Harbor is on Harbor Drive, bordering Seaport Village and you really can’t miss the U.S.S. Midway. This is where you’d see a small harbor of fishing boats as well as a small restaurant called the Fish Market and of course, monuments and sculptures regarding our military. It’s pretty touching considering my dad served in the military too. It’s just something that you got to see…

It really makes me wonder why I haven’t done this sooner. It also makes me wonder how many other San Diegan’s pass by and never gave it a chance. Hopefully my photos will inspire those to go out and see what San Diego has to offer since photos rarely do it justice...

Now I just got to go and visit The Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum…

chris@lapadasolutions.com (Chris Lapada | Lapada Gallery | LapadaGallery.com) — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:56:00 GMT

WHO: www.SoCalEuro.com

WHAT: Big SoCalEuro.com Gathering 2007

WHEN: Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 11am til 4pm

WHERE: Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, California

Notes: I got there a little after 2pm. When I got there, I notice that a lot of the cars from the meet have already have gone. It seemed as the crowd was starting to dwindle down too. It still had some good cars there, but I wish I was there sooner. Especially judging by viewing other photos from other attendees...great meet!

Thanks to those who made it happen!!!

2007-08 - Shelter Island, San Diego, California

chris@lapadasolutions.com (Chris Lapada | Lapada Gallery | LapadaGallery.com) — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 06:59:00 GMT

Shelter Island...one of my favorite places to visit in San Diego. It just brings back memories. This is a place where I've had great success in fishing, as well as some upsets. What can I say, it's also a great place to take a stroll and take pictures too.

Next time I'll tell you the story about the "BIG" one that got away...

2007-08 - Harbor Drive, San Diego

chris@lapadasolutions.com (Chris Lapada | Lapada Gallery | LapadaGallery.com) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 22:14:00 GMT

WHEN: Late August 2007
LOCATION: Boardwalk along the Star of India on Harbor Drive.

I call this gallery Harbor Drive... I didn't want to call it the Star of India or the Maritime Museum becuase I wasn't actually on them. But I was basically along side Harbor Drive on the nice boardwalk along the San Diego Bay.

I couldn't help it, I had to get out of the car as I drove by these amazing vessels. As a kid, who didn't want to be a Pirate? I know I did. And seeing a pirate ship there put a smile on my face.

Sometime in the near future, I'm going to have to check this place out when I have some free time. That submarine they have there seems pretty cool too.
