one more thing before i go....

is it summer yet? im tired of being cold

december but really november....

went to the good guys hot rod get together....looking for my newest muse....nothing yet but i did spy this beauty laying out in the sun....mmmmmm slow and low baby.....

a little ahead of the time line

i am trying to recreate the summer of shooting. this was done in October when we saw the cousins in Nevada. So i am going a bit out of order but whatever....

August in November

this would have been an august post. I have been really busy keeping chris and sharon and the house in line....i also dodged a layoff from the day gig. it was really bad. a lot of cool admins and engineers went away....anyways...hopefully those guys and gals find something fast.

this is something i think i shot in August...at least i shot it this summer

july post...

we went to truckee...i havent caught up the blog in a few months.

also - dont mess with this kid.......

assuming you could survive monkeypuppet....you wouldn't want to run into this kid. he will totally mess you up...he has a NIN shirt on for god sakes....

moneypuppet....you want some?!?!?! he will give you some

we shot this for my wife's blog two weeks ago but i forgot to post it then....so here it is now...consider yourself monkeypuppet'ed

team building

So my team and i went out for some fun on thursday night. we had a blast, i was beat the next day. one of our team members from the UK came out for the week. i am really glad i met him, he is a stand up guy for sure. so, guess whats in the image and win a comment back from me...haha....some prize i know but hey, what do you all want from me?

And to the Rasputin's staff memeber who let me sneak on stage, you are the best dude.....so much fun. i cant wait to see you guys again...hopefully somewhere i can steal your pick again nikki....

Is it Apophis?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a NEO so large we will all surely perish. No, its the International Space Station zooming over the house. Sharon, Mary Jo and Chris and I caught up with it a couple weeks ago. I tracked it using a satellite tracker at http://www.spaceweaather.com/ Fun. On the right hand side of the page is a link to the satellite tracker, you simply enter your ZIP code and pow...satellite flyby times. Notice how it is on a collision course with the Big Dipper?

BORED!!!!!!!! i need to go shoot. i need a vacation - somewhere i can shoot all night and sleep all day, no interruptions. no noise or work or responsibility....
i need some quiet.
maybe i just need to go back to the aquarium with shar and peanut.

the moon and venus

On friday i had to shoot a sadies with Tony. A few days before the shoot i saw on http://www.spaceweather.com/ that venus and the moon would be cupcaking again so i thought i would shoot that while i got ready for the dance.....this turned out to be more fruitful......the OG Sadies was a sad, money losing affair to forget.

i shot it using tonys 300f4 and his teleconverter...when you zoom up a hundred or more percent you can actually see that venus is also a crescent shape now due to its orbit around the sun and where we see it in the sky.

recycled shot from Elias's Vodka shot

This is an image from a series shot for Viscous Vodka. My buddy owns the LLC and they had a review in a magazine. he needed some images of drinks so i did this little layout for him. I need to get off my ass and shoot something new though.

any requests? Marisa, my sole fan?

vacations over....

i have been gone, too busy, distracted or tired to imagine being a photographer.....
