When I took my trip into San Francisco a few weeks ago, I originally intended to visit all the Banksy works around the city. Unfortunately, most of them have either been painted over or removed. The only one I could still find, was the “Peaceful Heart Doctor” piece in Chinatown. To protect it, plexiglass was [...] Read More
Posting some older pictures. For July 4th, I spent the weekend with some of my buddies outside of Austin in a town called Liberty Hill. I posted about their beautiful ranch in an earlier post, and as always the hospitality and fun were exactly what I needed for a relaxing vacation. An added bonus was [...] Read More
I had posted one of my firsts a while back, when I finally got to see Chukar back in Boise. Well another bird that has aluded me for a while is the Northern Shoveler. Every winter, a ton of them would come to Boise to feed in a pond on Park Center, and they would [...] Read More
One of the nice parts about traveling for work so frequently is the opportunity I get to see new and exciting places. Even though most of the time I am working, there is always time to stop and smell the roses and check out some of the local scenery. Last week, I was flying back [...] Read More
So I finally got my lazy butt up and went in San Francisco today. And man was it worth it. There is just so much to do in that city it’s staggering. Since I don’t want to take forever to post I’ll just post singles this week instead of making one longer post (and I [...] Read More
Yes, I know I have been absent for far too long. It’s not that haven’t been shooting, because I have, but having time to post and do things the way I want to always takes far too much time. Luckily I have great friends and family, whose questioning my slacking has pushed me to get [...] Read More
Spent a wonderful weekend down on the California coast, and got to experience some wonderful times at Peeble Beach, Monterey Bay, and the surrounding areas. The food and locales were superb, but as always animals always hold a special place for me. After this weekend, I think I may delay getting a wide angle lens [...] Read More
My friends Tyler and Christy and I took advantage of a beautiful weekend to catch a Giants. The weather and the game were great (though the Giants ended up losing). We didn’t get to see Lincecum pitch, since he pitched the day before, but they did bring in Brian Wilson to try to close. It [...] Read More
Missed posting this right away, since I just finished moving into my new apartment. Visited Sonoma Valley two weekends ago, and dropped in on a bunch of vineyards. The best was Moshin Vineyards, where we got to meet with the owner Rick Moshin. He had an amazing place, and we were treated to first class [...] Read More
While at Stanford this past weekend, I took the opportunity to tour around the campus. Though it isn’t an Ivy League school, this campus can compete with any on the east coast. Everything from the buildings to the vegetation just makes the place gorgeous. It reminded me of a Spanish version of Harvard or U [...] Read More
