Always make the time….

Time is a funny thing, you never really realize how much time has passed….. Well maybe not tell you run into an old friend…..Scott was a friend from what seems like a whole different part of my life… I can’t say that Scott and me were like best friends but the truth be known during that part of my life…. we did spend a lot of time with the fact that we both worked for the same guy…. Bob Carson…. That’s a name I haven’t thought about and longtime…. And over the years I’ve lost track of where Scott had gone….. But one that many little things that makes facebook work for me is the fact that I have found some old friends….. and how I missed that time… but lucky for me I reconnected with Scott…. and managed to get back together for coffee….. The first time I did not get a picture…. Imagine that me not getting a photo…. well the last time I got one….. They say a true test of a friendship is no matter how long it’s been since you have seen that person…. After a few minutes of talking it’s like you’ve never been a part….you find yourself laughing and just reminiscing and sometimes that’s the best part…..so I say to Scott…. thanks for being a friend….. And oh… I did get the photo this time….. just two old guys….. and what lesson is learned from this…. is to make time, have that coffee, and share the laughter…..

Just a fun night out…

Well from time to time it’s fun just to go out and be entertained…….  For me this doesn’t happen too often….  Normally I am always working, taking photos….  Last night was just a night of fun…  Went down to little restaurant in Santa Cruz enjoyed the playing of the incredible guitar player I mean this guy makes it sing…… Jon Mulvey…..  Anyway had a great time and got this one click of Jon playing…..  Not the best shot but it does show the mood…and the mood was good….. Thanks Jon….

At the end of the world….

Well it’s been a few days…  But when I woke up yesterday morning it was cloudy, it was dark, and very cold.  But I thought was a perfect day to go out and shoot….So with a few friends we were off…..  Ended up at Rodeo Cove…..  As the fog came in the beach became kind of another world….  And the fact that it was very cold not many people on the beach…  Which was nice….  As I wandered down the beach and found this formation of rocks…..  And as I stood there it made me think what was it like when the first European explorers set foot on the beach like this one….  They must have truly believe they were in another world….

The Sky is on Fire…

As I was sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops…..down on the water…just kicking back watching the sunset…. there really is a reason for always having your camera with you….. not your cell phone {sorry} but a camera…. because the sky suddenly turned this amazing red…. and it only stayed for a few moments…. now I’m really not a red sunset person….. but I still got the click….. just no better way to enjoy that cup of coffee…..just watching the show…..

Just a weekend drive….

Decided to take a quick trip North… Ended up in Portland, Oregon… Needless to say it was cold although it didn’t rain there was to a bit of moisture on the ground… Driving up as I passed Mount Shasta, I couldn’t help but notice so little snow… On the way back the clouds came in it was just before sunset, most of the sky was a dark blue as I looked up to Mount Shasta again I notice the lack of snow… Then suddenly the sun in one last ditch effort sent a beam of light the bounce off the top of the mountain….Lucky for me I had my camera… Here’s the click…. enjoy

Last night my friend Dave Sarber invited me to go out and but take part in a community service of helping folks get an escort to thier cars from the BART station……. it was a combined effort of the Oakland Police Department and BART Police Department…. I didn’t go there to take photos but you know me…… got a few snaps….. I especially like the one with the small boy talking to the police officers he was so excited……
