Welcome
to my personal blog. Here I post examples of my photography and writing. I specialize in making unique and highly detailed photographs. Notice I said making and not taking. Yes I take photos but a lot of time and work is involved in pushing and punishing the pixels in my images to achieve the look I like.
Please feel free make comments about any of my words or photos. I enjoy constructive critiques, learning about locations to shoot or photography techniques. Click on the "Share Article" link to share any of my photos via Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Want to use one of my posts in your own blog? No problem, but please make sure it links back to the original post here and do the right thing and give me credit. Don't copy my words, crop the images, remove the watermarks or claim my work as your own. This has happened more times than I can count so I've had to report copyright violations to ISP's and regrettably the violators blog is usually taken down.
Can't we all just get along?

Ernie was the last person directly hired by Walt Disney back in the mid 1960's. He has played with Smiley Lewis, Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew among others and is considered by many as a master of guitar.

Rockapella - Tonight
Monday, March 30, 2009 at 5:21PM | in Culture I've probably seen Rockapella in concert at least 10 times and they are really good. I never thought I'd be in any way interested in Acapella music but these guys opened the door to that genre wide open!

Dorothy and Kathy pose while Margaret hopes for lasting world peace (at least 'till intermission)
Dorothy, Kathy and Margaret in front of the OC Performing Arts Center's Sign for the Phantom of the Opera which we were all there to see. The scenery was great as always but the male leads didn't really have great voices like you would expect to hear from someone playing the lead roles in Phantom. The female singing was very good.

Lucky Lady II
Monday, March 30, 2009 at 1:28PM | in Aviation, California, Culture, Fun, Museum Boeing B-50 Bomber, the Lucky Lady II was the first aircraft to fly around the world non-stop. They utilized the then just developed technology of air-to-air refueling. I'm not sure where the Planes of Fame Museum aquired the aircraft. I do know I have seen the rear section against a hanger wall but I've never seen the wings which must be huge!

Me with the Scooter
This A4 looks like it's been sitting outside for quite a while. Given the current state of the economy it could be quite a while before the talented folks at Chino California's Planes of Fame Museum get around to restoring it. This was a really nice day and a good time to be outside. It's days like this that remind me how good it is to live in California.
