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.…

Build a Bridge and Get Over It.
I was out with my friend John yesterday, we had decided to get outside and explore just a little. We had decided to hit Purdon and do a little photography, and drone flying. While we were out there, we were marveling over the the ingenuity of humans, and the lengths they would go to for…

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.

I spent the day yesterday traveling about the Point Reyes National Seashore, which, if you’re unfamiliar with, is a great way to spend a sunday. There is so much to see…

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…
