[IRELAND] [LONDON] [BARCELONA] [PRAGUE][IRELAND VIDEO] [LONDON VIDEO] [PRAGUE VIDEO]

I was happy to be leaving London today to hopefully recover from this sickness with some warmth. A few days in Barcelona should cure my ills. I arrived around 6:00pm and Alex was there at the airport. So good to see him and we headed up to the city for some xurros and hot xocolate. […]

Said my goodbyes to Ireland this morning and onto London. I’m really starting to hate London more each time I go. Between Heathrow airport and the flu and virus toxic zone known as the Underground, I can think of many other places I’d rather be. I am here for concerts though, so that’s good. After […]

Nicky’s not the smartest cat in the world. Curious, yes, smart, no. He climbed straight up my screen door and was teetering along the top. I had to grab a chair just to bring him down. Scared cats don’t like that. They’re all claws. Of course I had to shoot some vid of the damn […]

10 second horror flick. See what happens when you’re sittin’ bored at home armed with a video camera. Fun with the neighbors cat, Nicky.

More video fun. I found this buried deep in a box in the back of a closet today. Back in 1992 I was taking some classes at UCLA and got hooked up with this video director from Germany. His name was Oliver. He was going to be shooting a video for this artist from Denver […]

For your Friday the 13th viewing pleasure I’ve decided to take you back 14 years to the classic “Straight A’s”. Set in the Bay Area at a large seaside University, the story revolves around the long held belief that if your college roommate dies they’ll give you straight A’s. This is long before that stupid […]

[NEKO CASE VIDEO LINK – 1m:50secs – 320×240 – 4.6mb] The long awaited return of Neko Case to L.A. My favorite singer hits Hollywood with an acoustic set at The Derby. For years I always thought she could do a stellar version of the song “Wayfaring Stranger”. Totally out of the blue what’d she open […]

[LUNAR NEW YEAR VIDEO LINK – 1m:11secs – 160×120 – 1mb] Sunset Blvd. Lunar New Year Parade, festivities, and the loudest damn thing I’ve ever heard. That’s nuts.

His mom probably accepts him, but his dad is probably in denial. “We should have never sent him to that clown college.”

Well it wasn’t sailing, but we motored. Layin’ around, hangin’ in the sun, cruising the harbor. I just hung off the front of the boat and watched the abstract world go by. In the 80’s, slight breeze, no clouds, and a nice winter day all things considered. The new Falmouth Cutter on a relaxing day […]

[UNDARA LAVA TUBES VIDEO LINK – 27sec. – 160×120 – 396k] I ran out of time last year to go to these lava tubes, and I almost balked at it again this year, but we made it out there. 3 hour drive out, two hour tour, three hour drive back. Plus or minus a few […]

[ZORBING VIDEO LINK – 01:45 – 320×240 – 5.51mb] Volcano’s, farm animals, and Zorbing? In one day?! No way! I’ve died and gone to heaven. Our second day on holiday begins with a bang. A helicopter flight out to White Island volcano, then a farm, and last but not least, Zorbing. Zorbing is a beautiful […]

[ISLANDER DANCING VIDEO LINK – 30secs – 192×144 – 566.3k] The production company thought we deserved a little entertainment after all the hard work we’ve been putting in. Not sure why they thought Cook Island dancers were what we needed, but ok. It’s just not right watching Polynesian dancers on a motion capture stage with […]

[ICE SKATING VIDEO LINK – 29secs – 192×144 – 559.5kb] The city of Wellington set up this ice skating rink during spring break. Spring Break? It still feels like winter out there. They wanted to see the feasibility of a more permanent rink that might be built in the city. The first day the rink […]

[CARTERTON DAFFODIL CARNIVAL PHOTO GALLERY] [CARTERTON VIDEO LINK – 04:20m – 160×120 – 3.37mb] George, Sarah, Jill and I woke up way to early on an extremely blustery Sunday to ride a train to look at some flowers. Every year the New Zealand Cancer Society has a steam train that travels from Wellington to the […]

[WIND TURBINE VIDEO LINK – 30secs – 320×240 – 1.11mb] Wellington’s one and only wind turbine. Long movie file to to the right to pick up the vibe. With real life turbine sounds and whistling wind. They really could use more of these turbines like in Northern California. You could power the whole Wellington area […]

[SAN JUAN ISLAND ORCA VIDEO LINK – 5m:43secs – 320×240 – 12.7mb] 90’s Journal flashback. This has nothing to do with today. I was just thinking about whales and remembered I had some footage of orcas that I shot a few years ago. The fantastic Kathleen and I flew up to Washington to camp and […]

[SHERYL CROW 40TH BIRTHDAY PARTY GALLERY] Finally! Kathleen and I had chased Sheryl Crow all over the west coast from “Lilith Fair” in Washington to “The Bridge School Benefit” in San Francisco, it was about time we caught a whole show. Instead of the half hour slots at all the festivals. We vowed that whenever […]

How to completely negate the aerodynamic benefits of a Bug. Although all cars should have topiary on top of them. The world might be a better place. Tonight was a holiday party at Friend Chris and Andrea’s. Know how some people collect Star Wars action figures? I collect blonde women. Mandy, Janel, Jennifer, Andrea, and […]
