What's a Halloween without a Jack O Lantern! This one was sculpted from soldered tin sheets. I discovered it at the Puyallup Fair back in September of 2010. Later, I couldn't resist and had to play with it and turn the photo into a digital painting. Yesterday and today were such typical Pacific Northwest days. We had everything from fog, wind, rain, sun, a little warmth, moody skies, light and dark clouds moving across the sky in different directions. All indicators of where we're headed, for winter! I love the energy you feel on days like today. You never know from any one moment to the next what's going to happen. I enjoyed a few trips out to run errands this weekend, and of course, work today, it's Monday! But now it's such a comfort to be home gazing out at the trees swaying in the ... 10/22/2012

Okay, I’m feeling like a dinosaur this week. I’ve had it! I have to get a new smartphone and soon. My cellphone is now officially the oldest piece of equipment I have in my arsenal and it's showing its age. I’m almost embarrassed to admit, I have an old Blackberry 8330. Not that it’s a bad phone. Actually, it’s been very good to me. But all my friends, my cool social media aficionados have the latest wiz-bang toys. Am I suffering from peer pressure? Believe it or not, most of the photos I use in my blogs I took with my trusty Curve 8330. The camera is only 2 mega pixels, yet that’s plenty good for the web. I usually upload the photos to Picnik.com for a little touch up to get them ready for primetime. I have Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare on it and I couldn’t live without my Google a... 12/03/2011

I had to make a run to the grocery store this afternoon. I’m out of just about everything, except canned food. I’ve been busy working on projects the last couple of weeks (and admittedly over obsessed about getting my laptop rebuilt because it got taken down with a lethal virus forcing me to opt for the last resort total nuke restore back to the original factory W7 2009 install) that I procrastinated shopping and several other chores. As I was getting into my truck I looked up and there was Blackie. Now Blackie I’m sure has an owner somewhere in our condo complex. I know this as a long time resident of the community. Cats get abandoned around here all the time. They may continue on the grounds for quite a while, several months maybe, but sooner more than later they get disappeared. I ni... 10/11/2011

I’m heading home this evening, it’s Monday. I’m leaving the office late and I'm really looking forward to being at home. There’s a storm brewing. The wind has picked up and it's beginning to rain. It’s downright nasty out. I’m listening to Russian composers on the CD in my truck; Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, somehow it seems appropriate in November. I think about my “great idea”, The Blackberry Chronicles. It was cool back in summer when the days were long and bright. Now it’s dark when I leave for work and it’s dark when I get off work. "How will I ever get a shot now?" Of course doubt has a visit and I question myself. It’s a Blackberry, no fancy shutter speeds, zoom, or focus. Just point and shoot. I remind myself that the purpose of this exercise is more of a reporter than a... 11/15/2010
