Concrete Blonde At The El Rey

What happened to Concrete Blonde? The only thing good about this show was that it was close to home. They need to re-retire. I’ve seen their shows at The Greek Theater and The Wiltern and they were amazing. Tonight it was like watching a twitching dog that’s been hit by a car. It was a […]

Merry Friggin’ Christmas

Merry friggin’ Christmas and Happy New Year. Now get the hell out. Stripped naked, and left to rot out by the loading docks, the Sony Christmas tree that graced the lobby just days ago has fullfilled it’s earthly duties. I hope all ex-employees aren’t treated this way.

2002 Rose Parade

I’m freezing, tired, yet amped up on enough sugar to choke a cow. Me and 1,000,000+ people along 5 1/2 miles of road. Here’s my slice of the pie. That’s one busy photo. After last night I’m tired of people touching me. The front row seats are cool though. Sleep is overrated, I keep telling […]

The Getty Museum

Before going to see “The Majestic”, and an after movie trip to Jerry’s Famous Deli for dessert, we headed up to The Getty museum for a look around. It turned into a sampler platter of art and views because of the lack of time, but vowed to come back some day when it’s warmer. Bouguereau’s […]

Thanksgiving Week In Australia

[AUSTRALIA 1.0 GALLERY] Traveling in a fried-out combieOn a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can’t you hear, can’t you hear […]

La Brea Tar Pits

The La Brea Tar Pits living up to their name. You’d have to be a really stupid, or a very thirsty animal to go anywhere near this. A bit Exxon Valdez-y, but if you’re a giant sloth with a pea brain it’s probably looks like a chocolate milkshake. Below is the current state of my […]

Point Bonita Lighthouse

I took Mike out hiking to Point Bonita Lighthouse. He complained the whole time. So much for having fun! Ya bastard curmudgeon! It’s only open about 3 hours a day, but fortunately we hit it at the right time. A typically cold and windy day in the Marin headlands. Lot’s of seals down on the […]

Montara Beach, Half Moon Bay

I went home sick from work today, so I took the coast home. I spent more time playing around than actually resting. Oh well, it made me feel better. I love the layers along this eroded beach, Montara State Beach. Not a very good nude beach apparently.

Stow Lake, Golden Gate Park

Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. Out on my nightly walk.

Golden Gate National Recreation Area

What’s great about this photo is that it’s only 10 minutes from my house. I love that you can lie in photography. The fog has started to roll in, but the sun is still poking through. What you can’t hear or see is a cargo ship blowing its horn as it comes through the fog […]

Golden Gate Bridge

How many times can you shoot this photograph? Apparently a lot. [LINK] Here’s my version. No better, no worse. It’s a little cooler out than it looks. In the middle of Fort Point there’s this big black cannon. It’s almost impossible to take a photo of it with no one in the picture. It took […]

Highway 280

If I have to commute 37 miles to work, I’m glad it’s this beautiful the whole way. Most nights it looks like this along Hwy 280, with the fog rolling in over the hills and Half Moon Bay. [LINK] According to the sign it’s “The World’s Most Beautiful Freeway”. Kind of an oxymoron if you […]

Laundry Nite

Weird things while doing laundry tonight. Laundry has got to be the most boring thing in the world. It’s never like this. [LINK] Normally when you’re doing laundry, you at least have total strangers to keep you company. Because you know you’re all going through the same thing. Except tonight there was no one. It’s […]

Outback At PDI/DreamWorks

PDI is the ominous red building is where I work. Some top secret shit goes on there. Apparently I’m somehow involved with this. I’m still waiting for them to tell me what it is. No one from the outside is even supposed to be on my floor. That’s a car dealership on the right. They […]

My Desk

This is my desk today. I’ve made a few observations from this photo. My desk is a mess. Not a messy mess, but a controlled mess. Stuff’s at least in piles, but it’s been way worse and way better. I don’t hang anything on the walls. I seem to have the cd’s in the right […]

The Goat

This is a goat that I sometimes go feed at lunch. He’s a couple miles from work. Normally I wouldn’t care, but this goat is just too damn happy. Even when sticking his head through barbed wire. If that’s not a smiling goat I’m losing my mind.

Jewel at Saratoga Mountain Winery

Kathleen and I went and had fondue before the show.

Space Shuttle Launch STS-95

It marked John Glenn’s second space flight, and his breaking the record for oldest person to go into space, as well as the first Spaniard in space, Pedro Duque.’ Great qoute on his first trip to space. John Glenn; “As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind: Every part of this capsule […]

The Alarm at Irvine Meadows
