Dawn till Dark

When I made arrangements to fly into New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII coverage between San Francisco and Baltimore, I must've been asleep.  For whatever reason, maybe a brief flirtation with stupidity,  I booked the flight that took off at 6am from SFO this morning (Wednesday).  After a stop in Denver [...]

Blog at 34k BRRRB HHHH DDDDPBBB

Since I am forced to sit in an airline seat for the next five hours and consume questionable airline food, I will blog. What is it with the captain of the airplane?  Not their skills you know, but their voice over the intercom.  This is what you are supposed to [...]

SFO To Williamsport

Looking out on a portal of parched landscape 34 thousand feet above Nevada, I travel east for my fifth World Series. Mind you, this is unlike any World Series I've covered for the Press Democrat.  Major League Baseball may call their version of the fall classic a World Series, [...]

Moto a go-go

Yep, the Amgen Tour of California (TOC) has come and gone from Santa Rosa.  Professional bike racing is comparable to the other racing event that is awash in advertising sponsorship, namely NASCAR's annual visit to Sonoma County in June.  The  TOC has grown exponentially, arguably the third most popular bike [...]

Cobwebs on the camera

The past few weeks for me have been spent in a small room with a mega fast computer and two computer screens. Cutting video.  Video is fun, don't get me wrong. It makes you look at things on a moving scale, incorporating your style of shooting in to a cohesive [...]

Hordes

One of my son's spelling words last week was hordes.  That's exactly what AT&T Park resembled this past week in San Francisco during the World Series.  Getting from photo spots on the field back to the workroom was slow going Wednesday and Thursday. Walking down stairs from the view level [...]

Media, media, media

We used to be called press. TV stations were called television. Now, it's just The Media. I hate being lumped in to that name. The Press Democrat credentials for the World Series have Media emblazoned all over it. Ugh. During the Giants - Rangers workout Tuesday at AT&T Park in [...]

Behind the scenes

Covered the debate between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown the other night at Dominican University in San Rafael. Yea, somebody had to do it. How do you photograph an event without really covering the meat of the action? Carefully and with strings attached. My experience with these types of large [...]
