cactus garden

The tones in this photograph remind me of the old Autochrome films of long ago. I spend more time trying to get that muted analog film feel. Here under the muted foggy sky,it just happened naturally.

The Getty garden

The mysterious foggy gardens in the rain,a perfect place to lose yourself in thought.

traffic

This is what being in traffic feels like to me,closed in and congested. It's difficult to make something so messy look so beautiful. Yes,even congested traffic can look beautiful if you at it the right way.

the bar

A grainy and gritty photograph of a neon bar sign in a rough part of town. It was one of those dive bars on the East coast,the best kind of bar. Go inside and listen to the stories that are told by the "regulars", just don't order a cosmopolitan.

Marco Pascolini-the man with all the guitar toys

These are shots of the Expassionates,an amazing and talented band. I truly enjoy their music.

Scott Easterday-singing for all it's worth

Richard Burgess-deep in the bass

Sam Platt-intense drumming

my late friend Roadie

My buddy,Roadie and his grandson,Anthony. You can see the love in his eyes. That kid was his world.

the fireman

Whenever I think I have a rough day at work,I think about these guys and what they go thru everyday.

a kid,a dog and a fence

stuck in a tux

no matter how old the guy is, he hates going to weddings.......

sidewalk chalk

I have no idea what game is being made with the sidewalk chalk.

Grandma and granddaughter

there's no love like the love of a grandmother.

kid and bubbles

Here's the recipe, kid + soap bubbles = fun. What more do you need?

highschool band

I was at a highschool graduation and had a chance to take some shots before the ceremonies. The sheet music says "Pomp and Circumstance" but the way the band played it was more like "Poop and Circumstance".
