15 years ago... (Washington State)


I unthawed a roll of b/w film apparently taken about 15 years ago. If I recall, my wife (ex-wife since 1992) and 1 year old son were up in Seattle, planning to make a move there and we were just travelling around the country side and found this wonderful falls, but I don't recall the name of the place...

this is a lot next to my house taken with a flash off a Canon S3 IS. Then the Kent_lensblur (lensbaby effect action) applied to it... Lensbaby is this amazing lens with selective focus and wonderful blur effects.

Vintage Nikon F Photomic body



recently my passion for film photography has been re-ignited. I'm scanning old negatives from the past and this particular photo was taken as a test shot by a Minolta camera (maxxum 5)

Wedding at Newport Beach


I helped with a wedding today at beautiful Newport Beach. The wedding was in a huge yacht and we had about 80 people on board. Yes, I was the DJ. Actually, I was the "DJ" on most of the parties we had back in my high school and college days. Ali and Pam were married today, and the irony is that Pam was married to a friend of ours too. BTW, Ali was my best man at my wedding.

Aztec Calendar...


Hi...
I went to an exhibit of world religions at the Stahl Center. This was an Aztec calendar. The exhibit included different religion's take on different aspects... some of which were ways different religions fixes what's broken... but the main discussion was about the recent sectarian violence between the different sects of the Moslem faith, and how religious violence is mostly at its core a human choice... think about this statement: If you had a choice to denounce the name of Jesus only to exhibit what Jesus would do and you choose to to denounce the name of Jesus... does God looks at that favorably or not?
