Missy Lou & Lucy

Missy and Lucy had a play date. It’s always awesome to see a little dog play with a big dog. Missy thinks she’s big so it works out.

Looking for something.

4×5 Scans from my road trip

I finally got around to scanning my negatives from my zone class from last session, well more like Chris did the scanning… Thanks Chris!


Bisbee, AZ. I don’t know why I had the need to take this.


Tuscarora, NV. There were so many abandoned cars and trucks. I wondered about their lives before they passed.


Tuscarora, NV. This one looked so sad… it’s one of my favorite.


Tuscarora, NV. I had no idea what these things were when I first saw them. Later I found out they were old washing machines.


Elko, NV. It was a goner…

Tacos and Beers

So after the graduation what better way to celebrate than with tacos and beer! We even had the taco dudes make an appearance.

The taco dudes!!! They are becoming regulars at our family gatherings.

Japanese Friendship Garden

Last week I went to the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose. I have lived in San Jose for most of my life and have never once been to these gardens. The whole time I was there the only thing I could say was “Where are we?” It didn’t feel like I was in San Jose.


I can stare at these trees for days and I did.


I always have intense running socks on… It weirds out most people.


EO… Everything was funny to him.


It was a good day.

Telephoto Shots

Some more nature shots. They were shot at Elwood and the Bluffs…


She loves coming on the hikes, however…


she is like velcro and always comes back covered in these foxtails and guess who has to pick them all out?!

My first macro shots

I am taking the nature class this session and it’s a pretty awesome class. For homework I get to go on hikes and take pictures of flowers and bugs and I get to mess around with all sorts of different lenses. I know, I know, life is rough and to top it off the class field trip is camping in the Sequoia National Park for a week… it going to be a rough session. Our first assignment was to shoot macro. Here are some…


This little guy was not a happy camper.

This thing is my worst nightmare… Really! I have nightmares about these creepy things a lot. 

I wanted to take her home! Look at that heart-shaped face.


The car hasn’t been washed in a bit…

Road Trip: Metropolis, NV

We stop in Metropolis, NV which is a ghost town outside of Elko, NV. It used to be a pretty well populated town but now the only things left are pieces of an old school building. The weather was not on our side that day. It started off a beautiful day and then 30 minutes later hail the size of golf balls, awesome…


The remains of the school building and the weather being nice to us. 

Inside the building


The storm was a coming…


Chris trying to beat the storm. Storm won…

But there’s nothing better than rain clouds.
