AG Days
Horses+pigs+sheep+tractors=Ag Days this morning at the Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa. 4,800 screaming kids. The PD will be there!
Photos just happen
I covered the Immigration march on Sunday. I documented the march from beginning to end. It's always a challenge to make photos that have content or display emotion of the moment. I photograph everything that looks to be a good picture. Sometimes objects in the frame come together and you [...]
The Red Wall of Santa Rosa
I drive by the Red Wall almost every day. I dream about the Red Wall. I dream about making a picture at the Red Wall. I think about the Red Wall on real slow news days and wonder if a moment is happening at the Red Wall if I'm in [...]
Windy it will be
Allergy sufferers beware. A tight pressure gradient spurred on by a ridge of high pressure parked over California, will lead to an offshore wind event later today (Thursday) and in to Friday Mar. 19. The National Weather Service has not posted any wind advisories for our area but some sections [...]
One Stop Under

Kung Fu Panda goes yard
Pablo Sandoval, aka Kung Fu Panda, the big third baseman for the Giants, absolutely hammered a Cubbies Carlos Zambrano fastball over the right field fence and bullpen for a grand slam at HoHoKam Park in Mesa Today. Interestingly enough, both are from the same hometown, Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. [...]
Raining baseballs
It figures. My last post mentioned that it was dry down here in Phoenix. No sooner after powering down my laptop, the sky opened up. It was a cold rain. Windy. Nasty. The National Weather Service even posted a severe thunderstorm warning for the greater Phoenix area for cloud to [...]
On the ground at Spring Training
Observations on the flight to Phoenix. The 737 I am flying on is more than half empty. Most people are sleeping. The only kid on the plane is counting to 10, over and over. During it's trip to the east the plane and crew will make about 28 stops. Among [...]
