Longtime fan of photography, but I've never had a really good camera or set of lenses. My current P&S digital camera is 12 megapixels, which I often carry on bike rides. My style as a photographer is shoot a lot in the hopes that something interesting will turn up. Photoshop has also been my friend with cropping, image correction and some selective editing.
Within those technological limits I attempt to capture a moment, a story, a mood, maybe something beautiful.

Landscapes are great to shoot for the following reasons:
they show up on time,
they don't spend half the shoot fiddling with their cellphone,
they don't complain about the temperature,
they don't need to stop to pee,
they don't show up with jealous boyfriends,
they don't ask for all of their photos by the end of the day,
they don't try to haggle your fee,
they don't tell you that they are a size 2 and show up weighing 173 pounds,
let me know when I can stop....
yeah, landscapes aren't so bad afterall huh?

I teach photography at Los Medanos College. This photo is for an ad I did for my class.

I was a pro for 20 years, now I mostly shoot snapshots from my bike. I like to think they're good snapshots, but they are snapshots.

OK, just one more and I'll stop posting. Really. (Well, maybe...)

Only recently did I discover the world of negative scanning. I dipped my toe after discovering a lost set of negatives and prints I shot in 1988 of a film shoot with director Adam Rifkin, directing his second film. I initially sent Adam a scanned print of one picture, which he loved because it included an actress he's currently working with again. We both marveled with how a picture can bring back such a vivid memory of a time and place after so many years.
Curious what the difference in quality would be between a print and negative scan, I had the set of negatives professionally scanned. Needless to say I was impressed. Impressed enough to buy an intermediate level scanner and scan a group of negatives that were mostly shot between the late 80's and mid 00's with a simple 35mm (Canon or Olympus), and a mixed bag of lenses and all purpose film. I'm using the experience (examining the results and working with photoshop to bring the best out of these negatives) to determine if any of them are worth having rescanned professionally. I'm mostly having fun finding the artistic or historic merits of what was then just an attempt to record my adventures with a little better quality than a simple P&S.
The first two were professionally scanned, while the remaining are my home scans.
Bored on a long flight. Sunrise.
T2 opening weekend in Hollywood.
Santa Monica pier from the bluffs park.
A winter sunset.
A set of tracks and buildings that no longer exist.
On set with TV legend Steve Allen.
Beachside huckster, I mean performer.
Road repaving.

Thanks guys. 
Harley is my first dog actually. My sister rescued him from the side of the road as a puppy. I was a little apprehensive since he is part pit and I'd heard all the stories, but he is a very sweet dog. He loves people and is especially good with kids. I recently found out that, before their current reputation as fighting dogs, they were known as 'nanny dogs'. People would get them to watch over their kids because of their gentle, tolerant, and protective nature. Case in point - here's Harley as a puppy with my friend's newborn son.
