Jesus (the bottom half)

I entered a photo contest called "Alameda on Camera". Forty nine photographers draw for a section of Alameda then have 48 hours to take shots in that area.  The judging is later in March with a show for all photographers at a great place called the Frank Bette Center, which arranges the competition. Last night we chose the sections and I was lucky enough to get the section with St. Joseph's church. I found this crucifix statue on the side of the church and took this shot. I am taking more photos tomorrow so not sure if this will be my final submission. Any and all feedback is definitely appreciated.

Private Lot

Beautiful blue sky shot turned into a scary "GET OUT!" shot with the magic of photoshop.

Anniversary Kiss

Today is the anniversary of when I was lucky enough to marry the most beautiful, amazing, loving, caring, compassionate, intelligent, witty, supportive, funny and sexy woman in the whole world who shows me every day what true love really is.  I love you with all my heart B.

Blow up doll + cd rack = trip to ER

So the story goes that there was this blow up sex doll that someone decided to dispose of by placing on the street with a few other items, including a cd rack.  Hannah and her classmates pass by and decide to stop to look at said blow up doll. Somehow the cd rack gets knocked over and hits Hannah in the arm. Swelling of the elbow area ensues followed by a necessary trip to the local emergency room. Two hours later x-rays confirm that there is luckily no fractures or breaks, just a nasty muscle bruise. Of course, I could not let a good photo opportunity be missed.

Step Carefully

I went to some fancy vendor shindig tonight and needed a little escape and a picture for today. While taking a break from the schmoozing I saw a little girl in a vibrant flower dress skipping steps over a little water pond.

B on Couch

It was B's turn for a photo shoot tonight. Since my wife rarely allows me to take pictures of her it was a real joy. With a subject this amazingly beautiful it was not hard to get some great shots.

Old Crow

We are the proud owners of an Old Crow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky marketing display from the late 1950's.  It scares the heck out of the kids but it fits in well in our basement lounge surrounded by other collectibles such as the Cramps poster in the background.
