About

I am horrible at writing these things...

I consider myself a specialist of the glorified snapshot. Nowhere near talented enough to be featured in the spotlight, or get more than a note or two, but eager enough to get around my unnaturally high level of shyness to share my snapshots with the world.

All photos on this blog are taken by me, using a variety of photographic tools, from high priced DSLR to Pin Hole cameras made from beer cans.

I have recently relocated to the Santa Cruz area, only deepening my insatiable love for the San Francisco area as I'm able to explore many new areas. When not shooting with a still camera, I can be found toting around a TV camera.

Some of my favourite photographers:
Robert Capa
Robert Doisneau
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Berenice Abbott

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each
I do not think they will sing to me
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

(the last image I took with my fuji when I realized the lens was done, just to make sure the camera was still in working order.)

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each

I do not think they will sing to me

Combing the white hair of the waves blown back

When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea

By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown

Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

So I got a call back on a resume yesterday. They want me to come in for a face to face next week. So in preparation I took a trial run to the building where the interview is going to occur. That used up my day until 9am… so what next? A run across the Bay Bridge, with a short stop at Treasure Island. Then across the Golden Gate, on foot, followed by a stop at Baker Beach. Finally I drove up to Twin Peaks to survey my new land from on high.  Of course after my 15 mile hike yesterday, the 8 I put on today was not much help. A few day to relax, then on to the interview…
