the day the shed died

Vallejo, CA

Along with a group of friends, I took down a shed in my back yard that was in danger of falling on the fences behind it.

My First Portrait Shoot

Fremont, CA

I had my first portrait shoot today. Never before has any one ever asked me to take their picture in a formal (and professional) setting, but today I photographed this guy. The top picture is the one he went with. The bottom one was his least favorite.

Happy Birthday John!

Happy Birthday John! John turned 42 today, so 19 of us went to a restaurant and sang a song to him.

High as a Kite

Brentwood, CA

Yesterday I moved out of Antioch, but today I had a few loose ends to tie up. Amy and I dropped off the UHaul trailer, and then went to Lumpy's for lunch. As we were driving from Lumpy's to the movie theater we saw this huge thing hovering over the Mormon church. We stopped to check it out and were informed all about this kite, it's orgin and how fun they are to fly.
Next was a movie and then I turned in my keys with my former landlords. Following that, we went to Benecia to see some Christmas Fairy Vomit. All in all it was a great random day.

going grey

Near Vallejo, CA

Amy has this beautiful black hair. However, today as we building a ramp at her house, the rain was drizzling in. Add to that the sawdust and her hair started turning different colors to the point she almost looked gray today.

Nina's trip to SF

San Fran, CA

Today I took Nina back to SF. It was a lot of fun but really tiring.
We took the Ferry from Vallejo to SF. Then we went to ATT park so that Nina could take pictures of Palm Trees. From there we rode a Cable Car to Guiradelli Square. We checked out some boats, hung out at Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and the Musee Mecanque. (In fact - while at the Musee we ran across early pornography.) We even did a bit of shopping. To top it off, we had real bread bowls at Boudins for lunch and dinner at Johnny Rockets. All in all it was a really good day.
The top two images are my favorite from the day.

a rope jumping model

Walnut Creek, CA

I had to take some pictures for class that involved someone in motion. My first thought was of
was using James who used to be on a jump roping team.

Amy in a pinch

Vallejo, CA

The definition on a good friend: Someone who is willing to be your Photo of the day when you suddenly realize at 10:45 that oh crap you forgot to take a picture and only have 75 minutes left.

a dream fulfilled

Madison, WI

My whole life I've dreamed of that airport experience where I was out of the secured area and someone runs to me, grinning ear to ear. Today I had that and it was awesome.

Oakland CA

I went to a friend's 50th Birthday party tonight. At some point, my friend's wife asked me if I would play with the grand kids so her kids could enjoy some time with their dad. I played ball with this little guy for the rest of the night. When he came over later to say good bye and thank you, he had this 'bwoo' balloon. He kept talking to me through it. It was so cute I had to take a picture.

third finger from the thumb

Brentwood, CA

I had lunch with some friends today and one of them was sporting her new left hand hardware. It was very pretty to see.
** Edit - Music for the background - Shell's comment just made me think of this song.

Temple hill Symphony with Jenny Baker

Oakland, CA

(BTC - more Symph)
(BTC - Stacy)

I had three really cool experiences tonight. I saw Jenny Oaks Baker in concert. I met my dad's new girlfriend. And lastly I met 4 players from the Utah Wheelin Jazz who happen to be on temple hill as well. A very good night, that almost made up for what a waste of day it was.
