Walk in the ‘Hood
It’s a warm day. Spring is definitely in the air. Time for me and my camera to take a walk.
My respect and sympathy to the families who lost a husband, dad, son. A terrible price.

The First Big Burma Print is Up!
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
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. :)

High Wire Artist
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
These images were shot on the roof on May 7, 2000. A lot has changed since then.
Rendered with AutoPano Pro – this pano never looked so good.

Sailin’ Shoes
It turns out that all of my shoes have black soles, so I borrowed these from my neighbor Steve for today’s cruise and brunch at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon with John and Laurel. What a gorgeous day!!
If you just gotta see more shots from our afternoon cruise, click here.
Fire!
There was a small fire early this morning in our building’s new restaurant. It looks like a bucket of kitchen rags smoldered for hours before creating just enough heat to cause a sprinkler head to blow in the kitchen area of our favorite eatery.
The fire and smoke caused far less damage than the deluge of water from the sprinkler head. The restaurant will be closed for a few days while they replace a water-damaged wall.
I was extremely sleepy at 5:30 this morning when I took these, which probably explains why I didn’t shoot more of them.
I saw Eloisa this afternoon, and she seemed to be in pretty good spirits. We look forward to seeing MoNO open again soon!

It’s Olive!
My wonderful friend Olive needed a picture to accompany an article she wrote for a blog, so we went outside with the long lens and had some fun.

MōNO Grand Opening Soiree
The Grand Opening at our favorite new restaurant appeared to be a smashing success. Lots of delicious food, wine and a few of our favorite neighbors. Thanks, Todd and Eloisa!
BTW, I went “old school” when I shot these. Just to see what kind of results I could get, I mounted an older Nikkor 50 mm 1.4 lens and focused manually! It was a lot of fun, and when I got the focus right, the results are very pleasing. This old lens looks great at 4.0! The only bad part is that it takes two hands to do this, so I couldn’t easily carry a glass of wine while shooting.
View the rest of the images from the Grand Opening here or here.

Strike a Pose
Olive and an over-abundance of hair products? How could that not lead to some fun?
