Today was one of those days with one cloud in the sky, sparkly blue water, and a fire red sunset. Spent Father’s Day down at my parents and bar-b-queing out on the boat. Cruised around the harbor a bit and just relaxed till I slowly slipped into a food coma. It was a hard day. […]
Can we get a chain put on this or something? Yeah, it’s all nice n’ purdy until the thing starts claiming ownership of your camera bag, bracelet, pant leg, etc. The Shambala Preserve [LINK] is a way station for abused and unwanted big cats set up by the actress Tippi Hedron. Otherwise known as Melanie […]
The smog must be rolling in. Ok, it’s smoke from a fire. I was driving through the Kenneth Hahn Recreation area. Lucky him, he gets oil pumps in his park. Other than the smoke it was a nice day. See the big dark blotch in the blue sky. I just discovered I have a cracked […]
Went out for a visit to my sister’s. Affordable homes, lots of land, 3 car garages, easy freeway access, beautiful scenery…. um… ok, that’d be no on the last one. Lovely Corona, California where the hills are not alive with the sound of music. In fact, most times you can’t even see them.
This photo has motivation. Ever seen those photos of palm trees silhouetted against a sky? Kind of like some of these. [LINK] Friday night at The Grove Jill commented about a photo of palm trees she liked. I boldly stated, “I can shoot one of those, and I don’t even have to leave Park La […]
Wargames create beautiful sunsets. A Minuteman II missle was launched from Vandenberg AFB tonight. According to the launch schedule the unarmed warhead and decoys were on a ballistic (non-orbital) trajectory to the Pacific. An interceptor launched from Meck Island was to attempt an intercept of the warhead. Remember the acronyms ICBM and MIRV’S? This is […]
The best picture of the trunk and rear window of my car I’ll ever take. I can stop trying now. Out at Vasquez Rocks on Highway 14. After a quick visit with Charles and Lisa in Burbank I took a little detour up Highway 14 to Vasquez Rocks. I camped here quite a few times […]
Don’t forget to hang your Jesus crucifix, and make sure there’s one looming over you in every room. It makes it more fun that way. Nothing like a bloodied and dying martyr to cheer up a room. Ok, now that I’ve offended some people, it’s ok, it all ends happily. He comes back a few days later and stuff. You can even bathe or date him now [LINK].
I’d like to think Monica [LINK], somewhere someplace, felt a sharp pain in her stomach everytime I bet that way. I also think she would laugh at me because I lost my money on every race. Listen to your girlfriends, they just might be right.
On the road with Sony’s 4th annual ski trip. Sometimes there’s nothing like watching the world go by the window. All cameras should have a function where you can only shoot photos the hour or two during sunset. I’m sitting with 50 other people on a bus to L.A. and they’re watching a movie. “The […]
It was 100 degrees below zero when I shot this. Ok, only 30 below. Running from car to my house, because it was so cold, I looked up and was kinda pissed that the moon looked so spectacular. This photo’s about my freezing ass more than the moon. In the 10 minutes I was in […]
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 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.
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 […]
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 […]
[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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 in Golden Gate Park. Out on my nightly walk.
