  • old glass

    It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring… It has been raining a lot lately. In fact at times I guess it has been raining enough to be considered pouring. And I guess I’m an old man now. And I have been doing a lot of snoring lately (I think). Something about the rainy…

  • how i took it

    This blog post is for “Do It Yourself Photography’s” “How I Took It” contest. Is it wrong to basically reuse a blog post for two separate photo contests? Uhhhhmmm well, I hope not. Of the thousands of pictures that I’ve taken over the years, this one is probably my favorite. There are many reasons why…

  • I spent this weekend in a cabin in Tahoe with some friends, some old and some new. Sleeping on a couch in a cabin was a nice change from sleeping on the ground in a tent like I’ve been doing for the past few weekends. Another change was the camera I brought this weekend. I…

  • bypass area birds

    I’m lucky enough to live less than ten minutes away from a wildlife area. The Yolo Bypass area is literally just a few miles away from my house. Most people pass it every day without even realizing it. It’s a good place to go bird watching, especially in the fall. I had the day off,…

  • vintage photography

  • I was pretty bummed out that I didn’t get to experience the shuttle launch. I had even rented a humongous lens so that I could take pictures of the launch. Since I didn’t get to use the lens for the launch, I decided to go to the Sacramento zoo and take pictures of animals there.…

  • Today I spent about 600 dollars on my hobbies. I spent a little over $200 to repair a camera lens that I had dropped about a month ago. And then I spent almost $400 to overhaul my single speed bike to get it ready for bike commuting. The funny thing is I originally got into…

    rim shots

    I’m sitting at the Phoenix airport waiting for the second stage of my vacation. First I have a layover in Chicago before arriving in New York. From there Sam and I are driving across the US back to California. I have some downtime so I decided to take a look at some of my pictures…
