Happy Thanksgiving

Hi, and happy Thanksgiving!

Do you celebrate the "thanks" in Thanksgiving? I'll be honest, I usually forget. I think I'm pretty good about counting my blessings on most regular days, but on Thanksgiving my thoughts gravitate towards food, pie, and other earthly pleasures.

So, just in case I forget to mention it while we're sitting around the table...
This year I'm thankful for YOU, and you, and you, because you've helped to make this topsy-turvy year quite wonderful.

I hope your Thanksgiving is nourishing, restorative, and deliciously sweet.

And now, let's eat!

Happy Hour

I love the slanted exclamation point /!/
happy friday everyone...

Awake!

Monday morning, rise and shine...

What are the Chances?

Today is my birthday, and look what I found parked on the streets of Oakland!
A Happy Birthday Camper!
Seriously, what are the chances of that???
Life can be so very interesting.

Thanks to everyone who came out to last night's reception at Hotel Biron. Tonight I'll be at Artist X-Change Retail Gallery in San Francisco, from 7-10 p.m. My photographs will be available through the end of October, so please drop by if you're in the neighborhood.

And... The Gallery will donate 10% of proceeds from tonight's sales to the United Nations World Food Programme, in connection with the disaster relief effort of providing assistance to the victims of the recent flood in the Philippines.

I'm off to enjoy the rest of my birthday, I hope you're having a great day too.

Two Little Elephants, from the Archives

I came across this photograph today and it made me smile. I shot this photo almost fifteen years ago, in the months before I left home and moved up to Berkeley.

In those days, there were expansive fields of fig trees near our home. I loved to photograph their beautifully gnarled limbs. One day I had a whim to tromp through the figs, and I came across an old, rusted trailer, with two little elephants on the side.

I smiled then, and I smile now, at their sweet, simple presence. I love that a person, or a company, decided that as good as it was, the trailer would be even better with these two elephants. If you look closely, you'll see it says "Movin" just above their heads (It really says "Movin On" but the "On" has worn away.) Nervously anticipating my own big move, I was comforted by these two elefantes, and the many moves they must have made.



I shot these photographs with 35mm slide film. A couple of years later, when I began to transition into digital printing, I scanned the slides into Photoshop. These images are from my first round of experimentation with a "digital darkroom," I guess about ten years ago.



So much fun to look back, and keep on movin' on...
