The Question

I took this photo because I knew that I wanted to be able to have this a proposal that I could post on line. I know doing it via Flickr would be really cool. I knew that I wanted to make it part of Flickr. This is one of my favorite photos of me of all time. We still call this shirt the "first date shirt."

February 27: Cockatoo

I was walking down the street and I saw someone walking around with a cockatoo. It turned out to be a friend taking their bird for a walk. It is not something you see very day.

Comic Con 09: pedo bear

This is a photo of Pedo Bear. It got a lot of views being tweeted all over Brazil. This photo was stolen by a San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Department and used on a flier saying that Pedo Bear is not Harmless. After that Gawker credited the wrong person with the photo. This is my photo, but I did not get a dime from anyone, Oh well. This photo has 13,990 views as of today.

Meaning of indie Rock

I always loved this sign. I always wondered how people define this. What will this mean when there are no music industry? Will everyone be Indie at that point?

Most Viewed Photos: Tattoo from a dream

Tattoo from a dream

This is my 20th most view photo. When I am writing this it has 11,184 views. That is pretty good because this photo is not all that good. Tattoo photos get a lot of views. I wonder if people like looking at other people's tattoos or if they want to get ideas for their own tattoo.

February 23, 2005: Album Cover Tattoo

in the aeroplane over the sea

I think about this tattoo all the time. I can remember a time when it seemed like no one knew about Neutral Milk Hotel. I still love listening to In The Aeroplane Over the Sea.

There is something about John's Headphone that capture my eye. It makes this photo.

Does anyone still wear neckties? I wonder how many new ties this steakhouse gets? It is not far from Amazon's support center.

I love this sign because it is on a public sidewalk. This is not a place that seems very private.

While I was driving the sky looked amazing. It was just hard to find the right place to pull off and get the photo.

February 16, 2007: Dont Be Here

Don't Be here

I love this pictogram. I know it means do not cross, but it is not really clear. It could mean no men allowed. That is one of the cool thing of signs like this.

February 14: Happy St. Valentine's Day

The Happy Couple

I knew I wanted to take this photo today. I wanted a photo of me and my wife. What a better way to spend my evening. I cannot think of a better way.

February 14, 2010: Old Brown

Not here now

I miss old brown and I don't miss old brown. It was part of my life for many year, but it was not great to sit on.

February 12, 2011: Hot Coffee and Plastic

February 12: Something to keep in mind

I thought about all the people who just poor coffee into trash cans without thinking twice. I see people do it in Starbucks all the time. I wonder if this sign makes anyone think twice. I know I would not do it at Roys, but I know and like the people who work there. I am not sure I could feel the same way about people at Starbucks.

February 12, 2008: Self

February 12: self

If you are interested in taking pictures I think you have to take pictures of yourself. I remember in college a professor telling me that the self portrait is one of the keys to being an artist. The artist needs to understand themselves to understand the world. I now understand that.

February 11: Graffiti fish bones

There was something about graffiti that always catches my eye. I think this slapper does a good job of using the whole space of the sticker. I also reminds me of cold cartoons where the cat would eat the fish and all that would be left were the head and the bones.

February 11, 2007: Writting

Writing

I used to go to a lot of write-ins. I don't seem to go to many any more. It might be why my blog has started to wither.

US v. Japan in San Francisco: Penalty Kick

This is the only time I have ever seen a world class soccer game live. This was a friendly before the World Cup. If given the chance, I would go to one of these games again. Of course this was a work outing and I did not pay for the tickets. I may or may not want to pay for myself.

It has been a while since I did a Fridge shot. I took this because I almost ran out of time for the day.

February 9, 2008: SF Giants Fanfest

SF Giants Fanfest: Close

I love the photos from this era. There something so fresh and excited in Kate's face. I can see her early love in her eyes. I still feel that love to today.

I did not get to the Giants Fanfest this year because it was packed. We heard on the radio while we were sitting right outside that they were not allowing any more people in. I guess we will have to wait for the games to start.

It is always a little sad and a little cool to see where the Christmas trees end up.

February 7, 2004: What?

What?

I love graffiti. This sign caught my eye right away. I wonder if the person who did this did anything else. I would love to see more graffiti like this.
