Wild Muscle
I hit the laundromat today to wash a few bulky items that won’t fit in my washer at home. At least that’s what my wife says. 🤷🏻♂️ But I’m glad I did, as it put this beauty right in my lap. Caught this classic muscle car in the wild, just begging me to photograph her.…

The Fork as a Mirror: A Philosophical Reflection on a Humble Tool
In the quiet clatter of a dining room, there is laughter and stories. Amid steaming plates, the fork sits silently. It is humble, metallic, and often overlooked. Yet, in its simplicity, the fork is one of the most profound symbols of modern human life. At its core, the fork symbolizes choice. Unlike the spoon, which…

The Typewriter and the Color Red: A Ribbon Through History
The typewriter, once a marvel of industrial innovation, changed the landscape of writing forever. Before the click-clack of keys echoed in newsrooms and home offices, writing was a slow, manual process. The typewriter arrived in the late 19th century. With it, thoughts were captured with mechanical precision. Every keystroke made the idea permanent in ink.…

Cemented in History
Imagine if you will, a world where a cement plant goes out of business and after all is said and done, after the world has moved on, the only thing left behind is… cement? I would say that the product of a company would typically be the first asset to be liquidated, but then again…

Does a Bear Sh*t in the Woods?
Recently I had the opportunity to find out. But let’s back up a second. I wasn’t out there looking for the answer to an age old question. I was out there to snag a good photo of the eagle. It had been frequenting the South Yuba, just upriver from the covered bridge at Bridgeport. This…

Fighting Oligarchy
If you’re only here for the photos. Cool, stop here. If you want to read the ramblings, continue on. Now, if you’re looking for a way to ruin a nice family get-together, poilitics is a sure bet. There is no quicker way to divide a room of people who love each other than bringing up…

Another case of right place wrong lens.
I set out on a wildflower adventure, as shown in my previous post about the Buttermilk Bend trail. So naturally, I grab the 70-180 macro lens, ditching the 150-600 beast in the truck. Who wants to hike with that monster, and anyways… wildflowers, remember? I get up the trial a ways, too far to turn…

Now for a little good news.
First of all, let me begin with my usual disclaimer. I don’t actually know anything. This is just my unrequited opinion on something I know very little about and have minimal understanding. But I am a big fan of SYRCL, the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, and what they bring to our community and beyond.…

Putting the 1st Ammendment to use.
Use it or lose it Grandpa always said. First off, let me say that I am not a historian, I am not an expert of any subject of any kind. I am just a guy who is alive right now during these strange times in America, making observations. Watching. Learning as we navigate this thing…

Over, Around, & Through
This past weekend, we did some weekend warrior shit. Breaking away from our cushy 9-5 weekday routine, we drove down to the Stinson Beach area to hike a trail that claims 6.5 miles, but somehow always ends up closer to 7.5 or 8. Last time, I was unaware. My wife said 6.5 and I believed…
