Kitchen Mittens and Skull Measurements

I have certain fascinations, passions, interests and obsessions. Always having a camera in my pocket means I now take thousands of photos related to them. Sometimes the meaning can only be demonstrated in sequence or juxtaposition. Most of the time they just sit undisturbed on a flash card or hard drive. Lately my love of [...]

This Time (I'm Gonna Try it My Way) - Behind the scenes at DJShadow.com

It’s a Tartan Turkey Talent Show at Your Local Supermarket

It’s true, Nisbet Rose is in, at the height of this season’s “less is more” back to school craze among young women. Or maybe there was a sale on Halloween schoolgirl uniforms. Clearly something bubbled up out of the collective subconscious of magazine art directors desperate to hold on to their cushy jobs in the [...]

I dragged the fam and friends to the amazing Happy Hollow in San Jose, California today (OK… they dragged me). Despite being months behind on organizing photos, I had to pop these up right away. [...]

flickr gets the goods – Schmap San Jose Guide

A photo of mine of the Winchester Mystery House is in something called the Schmap San Jose Guide. I’m in Santa Clara County, California now. If you’re going to be here, this may help you get around. My original photo set on flickr is here.
