Where do I live? Where sunsets, rainbows, daisies, and hawks are home. Lake Murrary is a tranquil abode, teaming with wildlife, blossoming with wildflowers. Spring is one of the best times to enjoy the trail that traces the shore, and on special occasions, the natural elements combine for stunning photographs. See the beauty, sometimes subtle, other times bold, a few times surreal as revealed here (special cloud feature—one of my favorite): Lake Murrary, Mission Trails, CA

Remembering

Victors was interesting.   Located within Mission Bay Golf Course, it was both a concert venue and a full service restaurant. It was both an indoor room and an outdoor mini-festival site.   It pushed the edges of jazz, rock, reggae, and blues.   And, it brought together some of the most spirited people that I have worked alongside.  A showcase of just some of the artists who performed at Victors is now featured on this remembrance page—call it a tribute!  See here: A Tribute to Victors (Mission Bay)

Happy New Year!

Editing, Editing, Editing.   And, a new feature to celebrate the photographic experience of a good friend–see the work of Ryan Gittins in a special nature gallery, found here:  Special Feature

How was your NYE?  Mine was a trip, with images of Jackie Green, Phil Lesh & Friends, and Bob Weir & Ratdog at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, as shown here: Bob and Phil NYE

More to come!

Cost of Gas

Saving gas is great, given my close proximity to Mission Trails Region Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country. This spring, I took the opportunity to better familiarize myself with the peaks, trails, lakes, streams, animals, and flowers found within the park. If interested in a day hike with outstanding views of San Diego (from beach to east county), then I highly recommend the Rim Trail. For spring photos of Mission Trails Park, click here.

Winter Exit

A few passing words before the transition from winter to spring. A special thank you to Mike Keneally. Not only were his winter shows at the Belly Up and 4th & B some of the most inspirational band performances I’ve ever seen, but they offered a great opportunity to photograph Mike, alongside accomplished bassist, Doug Lunn, and internationally renown drummer, Marco Minnemann.

Outside of music, winter also offered a few good rainstorms for Southern California. One rainy weekend provided an adventuresome opportunity to visit local destination, Cedar Creek Falls, near Julian, CA. Although muddy on this storm occasion, you’ll find a rare photo of the 100 ft. county waterfall, in full force, just click here: Cedar Creek Falls

Dirty Thirty Revisited

One year later and so many more new photos to see.

If you can’t access the new photos of the Dirty Thirty Party of ’07, let me know and I’ll send you the link. We wouldn’t want the rest of the world to see how dirty we were (or still are?). Anyway, if you were there, you know what I’m talking about. The crazy hair, wild dancing, fabulous cake, dirty prizes, other unmentionables.

Oh yeah, and wasn’t there a band playing too? We were at Winston’s, so of course, and though I don’t remember much of them, I know it was Deadline Friday. That’s where my memory starts to fade, but thanks to the photos, I can at least remember dancing with Ace – wouldn’t want to forget that moment!

Seriously, you all made the night one for the books, and Anna’s blue hair close-up I’d have to say is my number one pick, you make a great 70′s disco queen girl!
