Weekly Photo Round Up – Feb 13, 2010
Ok, is it just me or as these weeks going by faster and faster?
Had a pretty great week, regardless of how fast it went. While AJB was out of town, JCS and I got off our asses and visited the Audubon Center at Debs Park – a place I never knew existed until now. [...]
Weekly Photo Round Up – Jan. 30
To update quickly, I DID NOT get that writing job. I received a “do not reply” boiler plate response that didn’t even give me a reason why.
Thank you for your interest in {REDACTED}. At this time, we are unable to bring you aboard. Thank you for taking the time to share your [...]
I met this kid at a party…
Last week, I met this kid at my cousin’s birthday party. I say “kid” because he was 24 years old. That’s 10 years younger than me, turns out. That’s scary. When did 24 years old become younger than me? We chatted for a while about cameras and photography in general. Come to find out, I [...]
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 [...]
Organizing a Digital World
It’s 2010 and hundreds of nano-robots have entered my brain and are accessing my organizational programs. We also have that *big thing coming up, so it’s time to get busy. Trepidation? You bet.
Since around 2004 when I got my very first digital camera, I’ve simply loaded images onto my computer willy nilly. With hardly [...]
Good Morning, Paris
Somewhere in between the last post and now, AJB and I got married. The wedding reached far beyond my expectations and it was, as it was supposed to be, the happiest day of my life. I mean, I’ve had some beautiful days in my life, but this is among the top 3; the other two [...]
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 [...]
The Station Fire at Sunset
The last few days have been exciting. They’ve also been scary, nerve racking, and smokey. Oh, have they been smokey! The updraft from the Station Fire finally went away and allowed for all that smoke the fire was creating to settle down into the cities below; I think most of it’s settled around my house. [...]
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% [...]
La Canada Station Fire from our Patio
A fire broke out north of Pasadena today; about 5 miles or so from our house. There is a good distance between us and the fire – as well as an entire 4 lane freeway – so we’re not really worried. The creepy thing is that you can see the flames from our house. More [...]
