I found myself taking two types of pictures, and so I split it into two sets. In these I
was practicing my "street photography", trying to capture people at the
decisive moment, sometimes shooting from the waist. As such, this set may not be as
technically strong as it might be, and the composition might be somewhere between ad hoc
and random. Even so, I find these pictures rather fun, in a frivolous way:

Of all the shots, I tend to like 163 best, and I think it would benefit
mightily from a b&w rendering as I think it would help to isolate the
runner from the rest of the scene.
There are several shots in here with a group of college age kids, 153-154 and 230-232.
Shortly after shooting 154, I noticed one of them had a camera and got to chatting with
them. One of the girls told me her name was Cassandra, to which I immediately replied
"I don't believe you". The poor girl was totally confused and had no idea what
I was talking about.
That's probably going to happen 99 out of 100 times among beachcombers
named Cassandra. You'd probably have more luck with that line in a
coffee house or bookstore.
