1. Less plastic than some of the people living in CA

On first viewing, it made me pause and think "Wait . . . what?". I like the juxtaposition of subjects and the questions it raises. There's obviously more to this story.

2. There's "8 million stories" in Venice Beach, no doubt,

or at least 8 million photo ops. I love that place.

3. You got me with plastic fantastic

That's a nickname for the sub-$100 fixed 50mm lens for Canon EOS. It's inexpensive and yes, the barrel is plastic, but the images are tack-sharp.

I like your picture.

6. Seconded.

I keep meaning to head out one day with nothing but this lens and see what I can bring back.
