Just wanted to throw a change-up here. I’ve been interviewed for my company’s newsletter, because I run a photo contest at Keysight, where employees submit their photographs and monthly winners are crowned. They asked me about the contest, about my roots in photography and in the end I was asked to pick some of the ...

2016

My camera, or more specifically my camera lens, was mostly on the disabled list for a while because I had to send the lens in for a repair job stemming from something going wrong with it while I was on that ARI/COL trip last season. With it returned and in good working order, I’ve started ...

Before I get into this, I’ll give you a direct link to the MLB games I’ve attended this season, found here. There are nine of them, and that’s where it will probably stay as I don’t have any plans at this point to go back up to Seattle for the final series of the season. ...

I’m working from Penang these two weeks and took a chance to jump over to Indonesia over the weekend. One, Sumatera is great; two, I’m getting old; three, I really hope that this thingÂ where people keep asking me when I sleep and I answer that I’ll sleep when I die is true.

I just came back from Africa and, as always, it was a trip that will leave everlasting memories. It was basically fourfold and I’d like to share all four parts with those of you who have decent Internet connection as it is somewhat image heavy. First part was Amani Children’s Home.Â Some five years ago I ...

2014

While the rest of you were probably trying to ignore the World Series as best as you could, I spent a few days on vacation in Austin, Texas before returning and taking a couple more days to revisit Shasta and Oroville. As some of you know, I’ve kind of been keeping very close tabs on ...

I’ve kind of been looking for an excuse to use that line lately. Besides, from what I understand they probably had a place or two like that in Bodie. I have over 400 photos from my recent trip hosted in this collection. I’m not going to put them all up here but I will share ...

I’m really wishing I had the chance (or rather, thought of it) to go do this before the rainfall we got Feb. 7-9, but this past Sunday and Monday I took a drive to three reservoirs, two of which I’d never visited before. First was Folsom Dam, then Oroville Dam on Sunday, the latter of ...

I know many of you are on FB and have seen some of these, but some aren’t and I know one or the other have shown interest. More pictures (including the ones below in a decent resolution) can be seen here. In short, New Zealand is awesome. If anyone cares for a more elaborate version ...

That’s the ceremonial South Pole, which is a couple hundred feet away from the actual South Pole. The actual South Pole has to be moved periodically to account for the glacial flow of the ice. Current weather is -25°F with 18 knot wind (-56°F with wind chill).
