The 2007 U2 concert photo auction to benefit the African Well Fund has begun. All the photos can been seen here. 100% of the proceeds go to help the African Well Fund. I have five photos in this year’s auction, please take a look and bid on some photos.
The good folks at the African Well Fund are gearing up for another U2 photography auction starting in mid April. I’m proud to have been asked to participate last year and again this year. All the money raised goes to the fund’s goal of building wells in Africa.

Last fall I was part of EExhibition 1.0 “The Fine Art of Engineers” in San Francisco with six photographs. The exhibit has moved to a new home at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose at the McEnry Convention Center - April 2nd to the 5th. Doug Raymond also has his art in the exhibit and attended the conference today, sending three photos:
Stay tuned for more information as the exhibit continues on the Computer History Museum later this spring.
Recently the Queen Mary 2, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, and the largest ship to ever sail through the Golden Gate, arrived in San Francisco for a 24 hour visit. We headed into the city and joined thousands of people lining the decks of the bridge and the shoreline, along with a flotilla of approximately 400 ships, boats, the SF fire boat, and kayaks to watch the show.
It was quite a display the crowd roared as she sailed beneath the bridge with a blast of the giant horn and barely clearing the bridge by 30 feet. The photos can be viewed here.
Last week Sara and I went on a road trip to Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, visiting 8 national parks along the way (Great Basin, Capital Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Death Valley). It was an incredible trip with lots of photography opportunities. I’ve been working on some new scripts to process the photos in a speedier fashion, hoping to have them online this week.
In the mean time, some new photos of the Cats, including this one of Riley with his new friend, a Bobcat stuffed animal we picked up at the Visitors Center in Death Valley.
There’s an upcoming art exhibit “EExhibition - The Fine Art of Engineers” in San Francisco, and several of my photographs have been selected. This will be my first art exhibit! Doug Raymond is also in the exhibit. We’d be delighted if you could join us for the opening reception on Thursday December 7th from 6:30-10:00pm at Red In Studios 1035 Market Street (between 6th & 7th) in San Francisco. The show runs through December 23rd. More information can be found at: http://www.redinkstudios.org/eexhibition/
To get to 1035 Market, get off at Civic Center BART. Come up the escalator on the south sidewalk of Market Street. Go 250 paces East on Market (toward the Bay). The gallery is in in the middle of the block, on the right, in a huge blue building. It’s not the best neighborhood, so go in a group, or go in daylight hours.
Over the past few years I’ve collected thousands of frames of time lapse digital photography in my travels. Time lapse photography is the process of shooting a series of photos with a brief delay between shots, then playing them back at hight speed.
Part 1 - Nature
Part 2 - Driving
Folks have been asking for photos from Hawaii. There photos have been up but a little hard to find. Click here for the photos.
First there was Stuff On My Cat, now there’s Cats That Looks Like Hitlers, or Kitlers. Keep those cat photos coming.
On the Thursday before our Sara and I got married Sara lead the women into San Francisco for her final dress fitting while Dad, Mike, and I visited the USS Hornet an aircraft carrier moored at the old Alameda Point Naval Base, now open as a museum. Dad served on the USS Independence in the early 1960s and showed us many familiar sites on the Hornet. Much of the ship is open to the public and free tours are offered engine room, captain and admirals quarters, and the command decks. Definitely worth a visit.
