Yountville, July 2007 ...the drive back from Napa took a little longer as I suspected, hitting the LA traffic in the afternoon peak time. That added about two hours to the drive. Yuk! But I did stop by the framers and pick up the framed Tired Bones for OCMA, and it looks niceeee. The Yountville... Continue Reading →
Palm trees are not native to California
...Palm trees are the great Southern California location icon. But they are not native to Southern California, or really any parts of California. I know that there is a project perculating here, and if I remember correctly, a number of them have been done about SoCal palm trees. I just have not done mine yet. And... Continue Reading →

One of which I must have driven past three times, but probably looking on the wrong side of the... Continue Reading →
Insomnia series continues
...I had sort of run out of steam photographing my Insomnia series during my long protracted stay in Northern LA County, so the time at home was refreshing in many ways. Now on this shorter duration in Napa, I found myself late last night wondering around the hotel grounds again with the camera on the tripod,... Continue Reading →
Memorials in Napa
...on our 7 hour drive to Napa from Orange County, I think that I saw only one memorial and since we were in bumper to bumber SF Bay traffic, one that I made a mental note to look for another time. It seems that when ever I am driving, I am keeping my senses aware for... Continue Reading →

Hahnemuhle Photo Rag

Especially for the print that I am making for the Orange County Museum of Art. I observed this hue effect in my smaller prints, but not as pronuced... Continue Reading →
