Tonight at Jack London Square we saw a man with two chickens, and another man with two chicks! Must be the fez. The more I use the Fuji X100s, the more I like it. It’s already become my go-to camera. It’s small enough to carry everywhere, and as they say, the best camera is the…
Kelly Likes This One Best
She thinks this is my most natural smile, and I agree, but I thought the glass of Ketel One might be a bit too much for my about.me page, so I chose a shot with a camera – naturally! Many, many thanks to the awesome Steve Fossum for the fantastic shots. I did not think…
Fuji X100s
After reading several glowing reviews, including a couple by professional photographers who gushed about their love for the latest digital rangefinder from Fuji, (at least a couple picked it as their all-time favorite digital camera), I decided to find out what all the fuss was about. So… I am thrilled with the lens quality, sharpness,…
Cambodian New Year
We attended a performance of Cambodian dance in Oakland today. The performances by children of all ages were so beautiful! If you’re looking for more pictures, click here!
Dark Matter, Dark Energy
My first Future Friday talk by an enthusiastic, animated Dr. Alexi Fillipenko was entertaining and informative. It left me with a sense of wonder – as in, I wonder how much of what we think we know about the universe is actually accurate.
Alert the Media!
The paparazzi caught this glimpse of Kellster sporting a sassy new do tonight at Dopo.
St. Patrick’s Day
I didn’t have to look to hard to find some green on this gorgeous St. Patrick’s Day at Tilden Park in Oakland, California! By he way, I don’t normally shoot directly into the sun. When I took this, I was channeling my talented friend Erin, a terrific photographer who has totally mastered the technique.
Google Nexus 7
I’m working on a project that includes a Nexus 7, so I downloaded this perfect 3D mesh file from TurboSquid and rendered it in Cinema4D. Someday I hope to be able to show you the cool things I’m working on.
Fabulous Kellster!
Kelly is absolutely fabulous before last night’s Xenophon Gala. I’ve been staring at this beautiful woman for two days now, and I still cannot believe how lucky I am!
Celebrating Aunt Mary’s Life
I shot an event to honor the life of Kelly’s beloved Aunt Mary in Redding a couple weekends ago. Here are a few of my favorites from that day. I hadn’t used my Nikon D3 for a while, but decided that it along with the light, fast, super-sharp Nikkor 85mm f1.8 lens would be perfect…
Sundial Bridge, Redding
We’re a long way from the truly spectacular Milwaukee Art Museum, but not all that far from another beautiful Santiago Calatravo design. The Sundial Bridge is a gorgeous and unexpected treasure in Redding, California.
Cinema4D Camera Calibration
Learning Cinema4D camera calibration with help from the Gorilla. Extra credit if you find the shot used as a basis for this booklet cover.
Angry Bird
Kelly’s beloved Boo isn’t really angry. I think he’s just infatuated with the handsome photographer.
Poop Scoopin’ with Annie
While most of the rest of the country deals with a weather emergency, Jim and Kelly drove out to Xenophon to meet the newest member of the herd – Annie. She seems to be taking to her new digs nicely.
Latest Desktop Wallpaper
If you see moiré patterns, it’s time to get that 5K iMac!
Second Super Sunday
What fun! Great game, even if the wrong team came out on top. We first took a shot like this last year, and decided to do it again in 2013. Looking forward to a third shot in 2014!
Loving Loft Life
Looking to my left… I took another shot at a bit of an angle. It’s amazing how such a minor shift in perspective can create such a major change.
Make it Stop Spinning!
Amazing. it never stops! Illusions like this make me question everything I see.
Christmas Crabs
The Hunter Clan wanted to try something new this holiday, so we decided to have a crab feast at the Franciscan. Our expectations were low due to the touristy location, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and outstanding service.
Paradise Valley
Julie shot this panorama with her iPhone. She was, “Driving north from Yellowstone WY toward Livingston MT – looking east.” Beautiful!!
Proof that Christmas Shopping Doesn’t Have to Suck
Shopping is less stressful when done while tasting spirits at Hangar One.
Lost in Translation
Vonage voicemail to email transcription works really well. Most of the time. “Sean Sullivan calling from Kelly Hunter. I’ve been involved in the community for last pictures look really young people of cheeks, it’s Johnson. Please call David school and I’m running for Oakland city Council. Issues may well know we sent you some cereal….
Putting it All Together
It’s not only the knowledge of the HUNDREDS of eyeballs that will see this image on the cover of the extra-geeky Electrophoresis Journal cover that makes it satisfying. It’s also the fact that I get to use all of my graphics skills in one place to produce something this wild and whacky while at work….
Crazy Beautiful Wine Country
Our dear friends Ann and Lynne provided the excuse for a trip to the Napa Valley. As it happens, the trip could not have been timed more perfectly. We arrived just in time to witness Mother Nature at her scenic best. Thanks to Lynne, we visited some of the most beautiful wineries we have ever…
More Fun with Materials
Experimenting with Cinema4D materials for an upcoming visualization of some of the amazing things that happen at the molecular level on a Proton chip.
SONY DSC-RX100 Closeup
This little camera is proving to be quite handy. It turns out that it’s a lot easier to shoot extreme close-ups with it than with my much larger DSLR’s. I just set the camera to shoot a few frames per second and move in close. The smaller camera is less terrifying to the little critters,…
Aliens Ate My Desktop
The cool thing about this shot is that my headphone cable really did find this shape on its own. I glanced down and there was this alien staring up at me. All I did was add the Stim-U-Dent mouth.
A Clean Desk is a Happy Desk

Eat Real Oakland
Another of the many fabulous food events in Oakland. All images were shot with the fantastic SONY DSC-RX100, and converted from RAW with the powerful RAW Photo Processor using a Kodachrome 64 color profile for extra fun.
