I am a huge sucker for lighting, lights, lanterns, scones, chandeliers…you name it, if it has light I’m usually a fan of it.

1. That it would affect one of my closest and healthiest friends.

2. That it has no rhyme or reason to who it goes after. 

3. Regardless of your lifestyle, it will find it’s way into all our lives.

4. When I was in my 20’s I was as far away from it as I possibly could be.

5. Now in my 40’s, it seems to be everywhere.

6. Pharmaceutical companies are NOT looking for cures, but longevity of their companies future.

7. That I will also most likely die of some type of cancer.

On the way to Fern Canyon, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County, California. Elk was everywhere. They were very peaceful creatures, who didn’t mind modern transportation. Now, I don’t have a good nose, as a matter of fact, I can’t smell shit… literally, but I could smell these guys when I had the windows down. Peculiar musty smell. But hey, I have had them on a burger and it doesn’t smell the same as it does in person. Thanx for the little things.

Some rich La Jolla lady decided to drive her minivan into the local shipping and packaging business. It was 10:20am and apparently she had a few drinks at “brunch”. She proceeded to get out of her vehicle and give her drivers license to the nearest witnessing bystander. She did not get arrested that day. I would have been maced, cuffed, stuffed and waterboarded for this little scenario. But hey, it’s La Jolla, the Village of Rich Educated Idiots.

    Thanx Dawn…not sure who’s ever gonna see it, but I’m gonna stick it out for a bit and see if it leads me anywhere. If anything, it’ll be more for me.

Ok, so the bar coasters are complete and have been distributed throughout local bars close to architecture and interior design firms. The idea is to bombard folks in the architectural industry with advertising media while they are having drinks and NOT thinking about work! Take that mediocrity! Be creative with your business and you are sure to succeed at some level…maybe opening doors to a whole NEW level. Who knows? What I DO know is that if you don’t do anything, then your business will surely fall by the wayside like a puppy left on the side of a un-travelled road.

Old photo technique done in Photoshop of my baby boy. Its scary that every photo I have in the last 9 years are digital and on a hard drive in the closet. Hope nothing ever happens to it or we’d lose a decade of memories. I miss having photo albums to flip thru and look back on all the great times and photography. Everything is becoming so digital these days and it’s kinda frightening how reliant we all are on gadgets and electricity. During Southern California’s Great Black Out earlier this month, we were all at a virtual stand still. But hey, if I was to go out get all 9 years of digital pics printed it would cost me upwards of $1,000.
