Last week I went to LA to see my younger brother graduate from USC. He begged I being the camera with for some shots. Seeing as how it was his graduation, I brought the camera kit ready to shoot some photos. Just a tip for people flying with camera gear: don't place your Canon 1D type (NP-E3) batteries in your bag near your charger. Apparently, the batteries look like sticks of dynamite when going through the x-ray machine and put that on top of the wiring for the charger and presto...I had some explaining to do. :blush2: Good fun!

Here are some shots from the weekend:
