How I Learned
to Love Sushi

We caught these beauties while fishing in Diego Garcia. It was not uncommon to catch hundreds of pounds of yellow fin, barracuda and tuna – as well as the occasional shark or sail fish – in just a few hours on the Indian Ocean. The majority of the catch always went to the Philippine workforce…

Burningman Bound

Fabulous fun neighbors Tres and Olive prepare for their journey to the desert. If I can possibly get my butt out of bed in the morning, I will go downstairs and witness exactly how they fit a week’s worth of toys and desert survival gear into their vehicle. Should be interesting.

Congratulatons, Paul!

I’d like to take a moment to congratulate our very good friend on his most recent accomplishment – being promoted to vice president of his company! As of now, pretty much everyone in his whole company reports to him. Along with his new responsibilities comes a hefty salary increase, and a new home in Temecula….

Are We Having Fun Yet?

Thule, Greenland is visited by some strong winds. Some say the World’s highest measured windspeed occurred here. (See: Burt, Christopher. Extreme Weather. NY: Norton, 2004, p. 249.) During the worst of these storms – known as “Phase Three” storms, sustained hurricane speed winds make Thule a very dangerous place. This shot was taken during a…

Shane and Tanya’s Wedding

Looking at my blog, you might think I like shooting wedding photos. Well, I don’t, really. It’s a lot of nerve-racking work. It involves lugging camera gear around for hours trying to stay cool while worrying about the zillions of things things could go wrong! For me, most of the challenges are related to lighting…

Dave and Kalvin in the “Bad Ride”

Ok, from time to time, I’m gonna post images that have significance to just a few people – mostly from my illustrious past. I apologize to those of you who find this stuff boring or adolescent or both. It has meaning to ME, and, well, that’s what this site is about, right? So, here are…

One More From Diego Garcia

This shot was taken on board the American Cormorant – one of a dozen or so “Maritime preposition ships” permanently stationed in the lagoon. This ship, affectionately known as “Big Red” for obvious reasons, had the unique ability of submerging itself to a depth sufficient to off-load the smaller boats sitting on its deck. I…

Working at Home

I’m working at home today. We’re having the tub refinished, (results) and someone needs to be here. Of course this is cool, because it gives me a moment to post another image from my past. I know you’re all dying to see a picture from my year in Diego Garcia. I believe this was taken…

Scanning Old Images Again

Due to popular demand, I have begun to scan my old slides and negatives again. In the process, I am coming across images of which I have no memory whatsoever – like this one. Can anyone tell me where I was when I shot this picture of Jeff in September or October of 1989?

Strike a Pose

Kelly, Olive and Ursula ham it up at Jack and Tres’ last night. We’ll be seeing these beautiful kids again later this evening at the Second Official Friday Movie Night in Loft 105! Tonight we’ll be projecting Master and Commander on the big white wall. Popcorn and wine await us!
