Light Ladles
Nothing says that it's time for summer more than enjoying a late lunch outdoors. Nothing says funky like James Brown or maybe Parliament circa mid-70s. Nothing says funky lighting more than these groovy lights used to illuminate the front of a restaurant on Granville...
Dome
Taken in downtown Vancouver at the Pacific Centre. Heather and Maggie were dying to see the new H&M which had just opened. I opted out of hitting the new Apple store and instead chose to take photos. I'm really glad I did. The weather was too good to spend our...
Dinner With Friends
We have had the best time in Vancouver. The weather has cooperated wonderfully and given us days full of sun. People are so nice and lovely and it feels like the whole city is about to explode with summer awesomeness. I've taken a lot of photos on this trip and can't...
There’s No Escaping a Certain Station, Mylar Balloon
I like that I can push RAW images hard and get nice pseudo-grain. Don't know if I'll be able to post any photos from Vancouver, but I'll try. p.s. Thanks for the support with the prints! The first batch went out today and should arrive shortly.
Straw Men Arguing
All the straw men from arguments throughout the world get together twice monthly to argue, discuss and exchange ideas.
At the Arcade Again, Mom
Something about the letterforms reminds me of the late-60s/early-70s rococo period in display type. Televisions shows from that era had titles that were over the top with swashes and other type flim flammery. Quite lovely. Also reminded me of playing Galaxian far too...
Cityspeak Signs
One of my pet peeves in cities are the crazy amount of sign instructions for a given set of parking spaces. If you are in heavy traffic, trying to decipher all the information in a hurry is next to impossible and the amount of information contained in some areas is...
Golden Disney Hall
Taken last August when it was 101° F. Too hot to be out and about. We took refuge inside, but the outer shots were better. I think this is a great piece of work and wish more clients had the backbone and will to encourage architecture that pushes the boundaries....
Façade From the Ground Up
Taken in Nashville, June, 2007. Not sure what this building is called, but I could probably spend a day shooting it. I love the detail on the capitals of the columns.
Trip Report – San Diego Phlegm Family Chaos Jam
Our recent road trip to San Diego was something we had talked on and off about for quite awhile. As with most decisions in our house, once we pull the trigger, it's usually a really rapid deployment from the decision to move forward. We decided on the trip on a Friday...
Downtown
This and the four others I just uploaded to flickr were taken on our Los Angeles trip four months ago. When it was over 100°F in the shade. It was so hot that we bought two large Otter Pop like treats from a street vendor and they melted faster than we could eat them....
LA Trip Day 4: Final Confrontation
[Ed. note: I meant to publish this before the crazy weather hit us and we lost power and evacuated. I couldn't get my work done. And I lost to my wife in Scrabble. Badly.] On Saturday, we woke at a non-vacation time and headed to Santa Monica to do the stairs one last...
LA Trip Day 3: The Reckoning
Awaken to severe pain in both legs. PAIN. Ev-ow-ry-ow step-ow ow-is ow-kill-ow-ing me. Ow. Decide to hit Dupar's for a fantastic breakfast and then shop shop shop. I hit the Apple store where I had an appointment for the Genius Bar. In and out in 10 minutes or less....
LA Day 2: Punishment
Woke up late, and headed to the stairs in Santa Monica. The stairs of doom. In my prime, I could do 12 sets (a set being one down, one up). I barely did 8 sets. My legs are not on good terms with the rest of my body at this time. The stairs don't lie, they don't tell...
LA Trip Day One: Travel Klutz
Yesterday very early we left Salt Lake and flew to Los Angeles. You've likely already read the reason why. Yesterday was one of those days where if you did a biorhythm chart for me, it would be critical. Since we are technically on vacation, starting from the minute...
Bonnaroo Day 3
Sunday. We survived! We started by not having breakfast at the Waffle House, which we had done the previous two days. Incidentally, the Waffle House we visited accepted both Visa and Mastercard. We ate at a local place and it did not disappoint. JB, McQueen and myself...
Bonnaroo Day 2
This was our biggest, longest day. Since we weren't camping there we had to factor a commute of about 25 minutes or so each way. I thought I would have time each day to recap and post a few photos from the day. I was mistaken. I also thought I'd have time to walk...
Bonnaroo: Day 1
I'm writing this on the morning of day two a little foggy and dehydrated. Grandpa Gear's backpack and planning paid huge dividends. My expensive inflatable chair was a godsend. I was able to have a cat nap yesterday in relative comfort. We saw: Tortoise--Great set,...
