New Useless Computer Toy Almost Works!

My friend and coworker Hugh brought a auper-slick looking Apple iSight to work the other day, and I was so impressed by it’s design that I just had to rush out and buy one today. Guess what? It even kinda works with my pc running Windows XP. No sound, most automatic feautures don’t work, and…

An Absolutely Incredible Book

My friend Chris Burt is thinking of selling one of his most prized posessions. It’s a totally amazing book with 150+ hand-painted plates, all with with incredible detail. The book simply must be seen to be fully appreciated. The first photo below describes the book better than I ever could.         

Singapore Panorama

I’m on a roll with the panoramic shots. I think they look pretty cool on my pages. My friend Bruce shot this from his hotel balcony while on a visit to Singapore.

Celebrity Sighting!

To celebtate the arrival of summer we took the top off the Jeep and hit the road. (I’m sure this comes as no surprise to those who know Jim and Kelly’s true character – that of the rugged back-to-nature types.) It was a nice thought, but one that did not last for long – what…

Giraffic Park

The longest day of the year is special around here, epecially when it coincides with one of Kelly’s most favorite-est events – Oakland Zoo’s annual Walk in the Wild. This fund-raiser for the Oakland Zoo really is totally cool. You get to walk through the zoo while munching on fabulous food and sampling superb wines…

More than a Pretty Picture

When my good friend Steve Wynd shot this, it was merely a spectacular night time shot of the New York skyline and some of mankind’s greatest engineering achievements…

Milwaukee County Stadium

While on the subject of cool panoramic photos shot by friends, today’s Shot of the Day comes from my pal Mark Chestnut, who lives in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He took this full 360 degree panorama when Milwaukee’s Miller Park was nearly completed. Look closely, and can just make out the the new park in the background.

World’s Third Highest Mountain

Not all of the pictures on this site were shot by me. This gorgeous panorama was taken by my friend Jim Davidson during a trek through northern India. Maybe I can get Jim to share a few thoughts about this – by far the best shot of Kanchenjunga I have ever seen.

A Better Digital Camera – Already??

Well, I have barely broken in my wife’s wonderful Canon G3, and along comes the new Canon PowerShot G5. It looks a lot like the G3 except for the number of pixels and the incredibly sexy black housing. I am tempted, but the number of pixels is not the only thing that matters in a…

Arizona Cactus

The story behind this shot begins on a trip to Arizona to inspect the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant. (Hmmm… fodder for future posts.) Anyway, I saw the heavy weather coming from my lonely hotel room, so I pointed my rental car out of town looking for a good spot to stop and shoot a totally…

What Is It?

I have been asked about this image many times in the years it’s been hanging on my wall. I’m sure I already told most of you that this is a long exposure (.5 seconds) of the World’s Largest Carousel. See it and much more at the World’s Crappiest Web Site™. If you decide to take…

Random Shot of the Day?

So, I just had an idea! *Bing* How about a random image of the day? This might be reason enough to get me to post more often, I’ve got thousands of pictures, and NO, the’ye NOT all of Kelly. Well, OK, she IS in the first official Random Shot of the Day, but at least…

Another Cool Site on My Server

My friend Joe Morris decided to take a year off work and travel the world. Follow his most excellent adventures at xenotropic.net If the site looks familiar to you, it’s because Joe is the guy who set up my Bali travel Site.

No Triple Crown for Funny Cide

Despite plenty of positive vibes from Kelly and Orion, there was to be no triple crown winner today. Even I was a bit disappointed…

Another Photographer in da Hood

Lst night while Andrew was here, we had a look at some of pictures he shot at Burning Man 2000. We came across so many fabulous shots that I was compelled to post a few of my favorites here.

Sites on My Server

I have the pleasure of hosting some pretty cool sites on my server. Please take a moment to look at one of them by an amazing illustrator – Charlie Powell.
