1962 – 2009

Published: December 30th, 2009

I attempted to recreate exactly the black and white photo, shot in 1962. I took several shots, but could not seem to find the exact spot the original was taken from, but one thing seems clear – the middle of the road has shifted somewhat to the left.


The New Bathroom

Published: October 6th, 2009

We decided we had had it with the white tile and grimy grout. We decided to go in a completely different direction. We think it was a good decision. I can’t decide what I like most, the fabulous shower or the speakers in the ceiling. :)

The mood around here is definitely up-beat. Turns out we all love the bathroom, except of course, the birds, who are totally mortified by this new dark space. Ahh… Life is good.

Finally Finished!

We finally received the last couple bits of the kitchen remodel, so I can finally share the results. Roll over the image for a before and after view.


Bird Fight!

Published: August 4th, 2009

The normal state of affairs as up to eight birds jostle for a seat on one of the two perches.

House sparrows compete for a seat at the table.

One dove

A couple of these buggers probably eat half of the seed I put out.

Anyway, I had no idea how pretty doves are until I saw this shot.

A Little Birdie I Actually Like

thedude loves nature!

I mostly prefer birds that live outside to those that will live indoors with us – forever, it seems.

Here’s one I shot through the living room window.

Walk in the ‘Hood

Published: March 28th, 2009

It’s a warm day. Spring is definitely in the air. Time for me and my camera to take a walk.

Nice painted metal sign on pole outside my loft. Wonder what it means? Don't stare at this logo too long - it'll make you go blind!
Machining since 1885 Not your typical homeless person. A victim of today's economy?

My respect and sympathy to the families who lost a husband, dad, son. A terrible price.

Thousands of flowers inside and outside OPD Headquarters. Four very brave men.
Fifty one names. Very sad

The First Big Burma Print is Up!

Published: December 27th, 2008

And it looks a lot better “in person” than it does here. It’s nearly five feet tall – the color and sharpness are excellent, and the metallic Fuji Pearl paper really shines! Move your mouse over the image below to compare my PhotoShop visualization with the actual print on the wall.


More PhotoShop Visualization

Published: December 6th, 2008

I have some free time today, (Kelly’s in far-out Fresno) so I’m preparing one of my Burma images for printing. I plan to take advantage of the ridiculously good deals at Elco Labs, and print an image 52 inches tall on metallic paper. I’ll have the poster mounted and hang it on the wall above Kelly’s desk. But first, a little visualization brought to you by PhotoShop’s awesome Vanishing Point filter!

Move your mouse over the image below to view the wall before and after I hang the poster. Sorry Mark, we’ll have to move your excellent Paris poster to another wall. :)

We don’t see many squirrels in our concrete jungle, so we were pleasantly surprised to spot this little fellow out our second floor window.

Pano of the Day, 2000

Published: September 16th, 2008

These images were shot on the roof on May 7, 2000. A lot has changed since then.

Our roof in 2000

Rendered with AutoPano Pro – this pano never looked so good.
