Weekly Photo Round Up – Feb. 6th
Has it been a week already? Man, this week flew by. I feel like I didn’t do anything or get anything done, even though when I think about it, I’ve actually gotten a lot done. I’ve been working on my business website and continuing to tag and keyword all 40,000+ of my images which are [...]
An article I wrote applying for a writing job
I love writing almost as much as I love photography. If I can find a way to do both in my life, I will be truly happy. Here is a short article I submitted applying for a writing job for a multi-topic website. The site is along the lines of About.com, but you get paid [...]
I’m a photographer, dammit.
I like to pretend I’m brave and a go-getter, but when it comes to my art, I’ve always been a little chicken shit. During my formative years, I faced so much criticism from people that I learned to stop showing my work. I knew I was talented and part of me even knew it didn’t [...]
There’s a Moose Loose in the Hoose!
Last night as I lay sleeping, I hear the familiar cat cry of, “Mommy, I’m stuck somewhere, come get me out” from Matilda – which is generally a meek sounding mew that is more akin to a whimper. Or at least that’s what I thought I heard.
Sometimes the cats just mew because they’re looking [...]
Our Lovely Shower
My sister and Mom hosted a co-ed wedding shower for AJB and I today. It was lovely. My Mom spent the last month cleaning her yard and house, getting it ready and decorating it to a tee. My sister coordinated, brainstormed, had it catered, sent the invites, helped decorate and was an all around delightful [...]
Fuck Yeah
My brother sent this to me this morning with the subject title “Your new tat search is over!“. In the body he wrote “I found the perfect tattoo for you. I think Dad would like it.” I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. Thanks JCS. You’re hilarious.
I think the image speaks for [...]
Station Fire, The Eyes of Mt. Wilson
Without a doubt, The La Canada Station Fire has been a spectacle to behold. As I’ve been watching the Station Fire swallow the Angeles Crest Forest, one of the more interesting vantage points has been the Mount Wilson Web Cam. Overlooking the Mt. Wilson Observatory (which was spared an untimely death), some of the most [...]
Station Fire – Images from the Bridge
The La Canada Station Fire continues to gnaw it’s way through the Angeles Crest forest, high atop the ridge, along La Canada Flintridge, and into Altadena. We can see it quite clearly from our patio, which is just a short distance from the Rose Bowl. As of 1am this morning, the fire is only 5% [...]
Catching up is Caught
As usual, I don’t manage to write for a while and so much happens in between posts that I can’t figure out how to fit it all into one bite sized chunk. I then worry that I have so much to say, I’ll just end up writing a 2000 word post and annoy my two [...]
Toilet Sink Combo Saves the Planet!
In my life-long quest to live more efficiently and eco-friendly, we’ve purchased and installed a toilet/sink combo. Undoubtedly, you’re asking yourself why anyone would need a toilet/sink combo. What’s the point and why would you wash your hands with toilet water? I find myself answering (as best I can) these questions to just about everyone. [...]
