Oh Neko you’re So Fine, You’re So Fine You… So, Rock n’ Roll girlfriend was playing a benefit show for the Seattle Zoo. It was a one off, so I was dying to go. The only problem was that it ended up being sold out, and the only place you can buy tickets beforehand are […]
[DRIVING VIDEO LINK] I sped up to the Humboldt redwoods, as evidenced by my speedometer photo below. Ok, it was only 104 really, but I had cruise control on. I made my way to the Avenue of the Giants again like I did last year. This year though I had the ultimate ride for doing […]
[MELBOURNE] [THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD][TASMANIA] [SYDNEY] [VIDEO LINK]Trying to get caught up, I put together the last photos from Melbourne, Australia. I only sat on them for 6 months. Including all the links again for closure. It’s never to late to procrastinate!
[VIDEO LINK] It only took me four months to put the photos together but what the hell. Nine days in New York City and I didn’t see one superhero. So, a recap from December… After years of trying to find someone to take me to New York, so they could show me around, I finally […]
Another trip up to Mammoth for the Imageworks ski trip. After last years solo snowmobiling trip I was able to gather 5 more this year and the trip was outstanding. Visted the caldera and a couple of small craters where we stood on the edge and looked down. It had snowed all week so we […]
Last year my parents had bought a boat in Michigan and trailered it out to California. It was to replace the smaller boat, but they never felt comfortable on it. So on the chopping block it went and they found a boat that they really liked. The size was better and they could take it […]
On the way up to the San Juan Islands I stayed a day in Seattle. I wanted to see the Mark Ryden exhibit Wondertoonel [LINK] at the Frye Museum before meeting up with my sister. Since I’ve spent so little time actually in Seattle I went touristing around. Of course if there’s something Led Zeppelin […]
After years of not going to Macworld, I think the last one was in 98 or something, I hit the Moscone Center to check out the new goodies. In a way I was disappointed because there was nothing new released that was really geared towards me. The new Mac mini and the iShuffle, which is […]
[NEW YORK GALLERY] After years of trying to find someone to take me to New York, so they could show me around, I finally caved. I’m now going. Last time I was in New York was 1977. The summer of the New York City blackout, Son of Sam, the Apple II was released, Star Wars […]
Oh Neko. Oh lovely, lovely Neko. She’s back with a west coast tour with a whole band this time. Although there were some minor technical problems, i.e. broken strings, a couple false starts on songs, a tambourine that she had to run upstairs to retrieve, occasional flat singing, long guitar tunings between songs, etc. it’s […]
I was a bored this afternoon so I went to Alcatraz and shot one photo. It’s called “Blow Your Horn Mark”. Thank you. Goodnight.
The tragic heroine of San Francisco’s most famous love story, was born and raised on the Presidio. In 1806, when Concepcion Arguello was 15 years old, a seasoned Russian diplomat, Nikolai Rezanof, arrived in San Francisco Bay seeking aid for the starving Russian colony in Sitka, Alaska. As comandante of the Presidio, Concepcion’s father entertained […]
[YOSEMITE GALLERY] Um, don’t forget your gloves when you go to Yosemite in the winter. It won’t matter if you’re completely prepared on all other fronts. In fact naked with nothing but gloves and boots on might be more bearable. Anyway, an early freeze hit most of Northern California this week and everything iced over […]
[SAN REMO HOTEL] City Souffle. The ingredients: A Saturday night jam with fellow insurgents Keith and Shelli in Oakland. A Sunday viewing of Polar Express in IMAX 3D with friends from all corners of my life at the Metreon. And an “on a whim” stay at a hotel Sunday night in North Beach. Occasionally while […]
[MELBOURNE] [THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD][TASMANIA] [SYDNEY] [VIDEO LINK] A month in Australia and boy am I bushed. Get it? No? Damn. 1200 photos, one dead bird, 15 bites of various kinds, a tiger snake encounter, a diviner, waterfalls, and a very confused Vespa scooter now named Shemale. Melbourne still to come. It’s done.
[SIGNS GALLERY]After going through some of my photos from New Zealand, I gathered a collection of the signs I came across.
I’m not the biggest fan of deserts, but those two or three hours at sunrise and sunset can be amazing. Also never having been to Joshua Tree National Park, it has always been in the back of my mind to make a pilgrimage. That was this weekend. There are even billboards in the area that […]
[VICTORIA GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK]Infamous ladies man and fellow Shrek survivor Felix got married this weekend in Victoria, British Columbia. That’s in Canada, eh. Alaska Airlines flight 283. The beginning of the nightmare. Alaska Airlines I hate you. I left work early after a late night of packing Thursday and a long day at work. Got […]
[IMAGE GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK] The long pale winter. Need some sun. The mission: Go to see redwoods in Northern California. Accomplished? Hell yes. Occasionally you take a trip that turns out to be way more than you thought it would be. I took off Saturday morning and jetted up to Oakland and hung with Keith […]
Saturday night in Oakland was the 6 hour jam session comprised of me, Keith and Shelli (The Beattieles), Charlie, some pizza and M&M’s, and some other guys that I’ve forgotten their names. I even got to spend some of their money on music stuff, which I love because it’s music shopping yet I don’t have […]
