Sierra Repertory Theatre puts on "A Christmas Carol" at the Fallon Theatre in Columbia, Calif. November 29, 2006. I shot this in the men's dressing room just before the preformance. I choose this as my shot of the day not because I felt it was my best, but because I tryed my best. I wanted all three actors in the shot. I was there, they were there, and the shot just didn't happen.(Adm Golub/ The Modesto Bee)

The Roamer

Leo (last name and age with held), is originally from Oakland, Calif., but since returning from the Korean War in 1954, he has roamed all over the U.S., qualifying as "homeless." Here, he sits in the back of a restaurant located in the industrial district of Glendale, Calif., on Tuesday, November 28, 2006. (Photo by Alison Yin)

Hard on the teeth, high in iron

An excavator loads a diesel truck with scrap metal at Modesto Junk Co. on 9th Street in Modesto, Calif. November 25, 2006. I was turning on 9th Street from N Street on my way to pick up some food, when I saw a giant metal maw silhouetted against the clouds. The excavator appeared to be about to eat a diesel truck. It was a very powerful image so I pulled over and made this photo. (Adm Golub/ The Modesto Bee)
