Had a wonderful day. Rode our bikes to the Cherry Blossoms in DC and ate lunch. An excellent experience.

Tonight I made a shrimp and cheese omelette followed by banana bread for desert!

I stopped by Skynear Designs Gallery today and see that they carry some of Romero Britto’s work. I love his artwork. He combines influences from cubism with pop, to create a vibrant, iconic style that The New York Times describes, “exudes warmth, optimism and love.”

I’m in the process of killing two of my old blogs and merging everything over to this photography blog, fixing links, etc. Once the content is migrated, I’ll then redesign the theme. Please excuse the somewhat jumbled nature of this site for now.

I know I have about 20 visitors a day, and the only people who care will be those looking for a photographer. For you, do know that I’m still available to photograph your event (-:

Whoa! saw this on the Todays Whisper Blog. Look at those goats climb! Well, actually, they aren’t really goats. According to Wikipedia, the mountain goat is an even-toed ungulate of the order Artiodactyla and the family Bovidae that includes antelopes, gazelles, and cattle. All that makes perfect sense, right?

Spending their lives in the mountains climbing, mountain goats reach this incredible virtuosity, excelling in this mastery of climbing that many other animals seem more suited for this purpose. Makes me wonder what I’m capable of if I condition and train more!

Oftentimes we run around in life just going through the motions. Recently, I’ve been doing things that make me slow down and be mindful.

Over the past week or so, I’ve walked around Falls Church and snapped a series of closeups and details from spots in the city. What a way to be in the moment and smell the roses, so to speak. I took over 50 photos. Below are three. If you are familiar with the area, see how many you can identify on my Flickr page:

Took my iPad on my walk with Flash so I could see where the stars were tonight. It’s so cool! Here’s what was above my head and to my left & right. I encourage you to check out the Star Walk iPad App!

Of course, because I’m near the city, the smog hides all this from me.Picture of Pegasas constellation

Love it! Whale gets its smooth groove on!

Priti Baiks is a series of portraits of men in Panama who dedicate time and creativity to decorate and equip their bicycles, their owners’ only mode of transportation. It’s interesting to see how these men display tons of creative ingenuity and dedicate a good amount of their meager resources to decorate and equip their humble bicycles.

The trailer for Chesterfield, a 35mm film I co-produced back in the mid 90′s. You may recognize Jon Cecka from the Useless Playboys in this trailer.
