The Moon at Sunset

I took this photo outside of a laundromat while I was waiting. I love the way the crescent moon was caught between the oncoming darkness and fading light.

DRIP Sink

This is a small glimpse of the clean up that takes place at DRIP. A lovely reminder that a mess can be beautiful.

Car Show

I went to a car show at Precision Collision & Restoration, Inc. They have always done fantastic work on my car so I was curious to check out some of their more artistic endeavors (my own silver Hyundai is pretty pale in comparison). Although cars are not typically a passion of mine I did enjoy getting to photograph something a bit divergent from my usual interests. I got absorbed in the candy colors, elegant lines and endless textures.

Mailbox Frog

I had a frog take up residence in my mailbox for a little while.

Grounded: The Art of Looking Down (Part 10)


I took this picture in a parking garage in downtown Orlando. My intention was to photograph the number of the parking spot in case I forgot where my car was located. I didn't realize until later that I captured my feet as well as my shadow. 


My typical weekend view: The mop closet at DRIP. 


Back in the parking garage on my way to see my friend Daniel perform in the Orlando Ballet as Dracula.


Dipping my feet in the Pacific for the first time at Oceanside, California. I stood still long enough to have the sand leave trails on the way back to the sea. 


The water was cold, refreshing, and contained numerous golden flecks. 


My feet swathed in seaweed at the Pendleton Base Camp.

Seaweed (Part 2)

La Jolla Cove was an absolutely breathtaking place to visit. Even though it was cold and overcast I couldn't resist dipping my feet in the ocean. While exploring the shore I found a washed up piece of seaweed and had a unique opportunity to recreate a photo I had taken on the gulf coast years earlier.

California

One of the best highlights of going to California was getting to visiting my best friend Emily and her husband Frank. Here are some random pictures from our great adventure:

Driving through the Pendleton Base Camp. 

Bad hair selfie at the Oceanside Pier. 

Jelly Donut and Khaleesi.

A proper sleep over, complete with Ninja Turtles blankets. I actually had my very first sleep over at Emily's house when were both kids years ago. 


A young man dragging in an enormous strand of washed up seaweed. 


Our shadows on the jetty at Pendleton. 

I hadn't laughed like that in ages. 

Driving through Oceanside. 

The super moon over the desert.  Emily and I were driving through the base listening to "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers and singing at the top of our lungs with the windows rolled down. 

Walking through the desert.
