She lingered for a moment at the window after he left. She just knew that his hand had lingered on the reins of his saddle for a moment before he threw himself onto the saddle, though he did not look back. Was the linger enough for her to regret what she had said to him in the parlor? A stiffening in her neck suggested no.

She closed her eyes, refusing to watch him turn the bend in the road. She would be the arbiter of his departure. Not him. Not this time.

A cracked window pane, neglected by her father, allowed the breeze to stir the air of the room. The wrinkles her grip had creased the lace curtain with began to relax and smooth. A pen sat idle in her hand and had dripped a bit of ink on the other wise unmarked journal in her lap. She marked time with her exhaling and only opened her eyes to the chiming of the clock in the parlor downstairs.

A detail of decay.

This is part of a broken sign on the lot of an abandoned car lot. What struck me is funny is that the lawn is both regularly watered and recently mowed.

For today's shoot, I am going with a guest photographer; my 3 1/2 year old son Jonathan.

We went to his first comic con (Inland Empire Comic Con in Redlands) and he was very excited when he got to meet Darth Vader. He asked for the camera from me and snapped this pic. This was not a lucky shot. He takes his time when shooting a picture. I think I might start a collection for his shots.

There is a theory that you must put in 10,000 hours into any field or pursuit to become an expert in that field. It seems that Jonathan is already logging his hours.

A long overdue upload

I spent a nice afternoon with the boys at Prospect Park in Redlands. This the theater that is tucked away next to a ticket booth that looks like a huge witch's hat.

We spent a good twenty minutes playing on the stage, which we had to ourselves. Jonathan decided that he wanted to tell an impromptu ghost story that he acted out on the stage. He likes to perform it seems. He then jumped off the stage and told me it was my turn. I had to turn "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" into a story. He also took a picture of me.

It was a good afternoon.

hands (things people sit one #6)

If idle hands are the devil's playthings, then the child's bottom must be the devil's babysitter. I have been told to sit on my hands many times, and now I have to tell the same to my sons. Full Circle complete.

There is something about the pattern in the bench that makes me think of a data stream, something you might see in Tron.

This is another take on the barstool. The focus is intentional. Is it more or less abstract? I can't decide.

I am concerned that these are becoming too abstract. On the other hand, there seems to be a flow from one to the next. I'm not sure.

Even babies need to sit down sometimes, these just need some help from time to time.

Sometimes I wonder if we should install these straps on bar stools as well as highchairs.

Well, upon the recommendation of a friend, this set will be things that people sit on. I am starting with the bench on my front porch.

I must warn you though. I don't know how I can complete this set without taking a pic of a toilet. Consider yourself fairly informed warned.

The end of time.


As a theme at least. Okay, that might be a little dramatic. I think I have been watching too much Dr. Who lately.

After yesterday's pic (day 13), I've decided to make time as my theme for this week.

Pay no attention to the date on the face of the watch; this watch hasn't run for at least two years.

I am also experimenting with iPod touch with a flash light app as a light source.

More to come.

I have less than fifteen minutes to come up with a photo of the day for my 365 project. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

This is one version of this photo. There were be more in the future.

I did take this on the correct day for the 365, I just needed a day to play with it.

A rather bland end of the day becomes more intriguing when examined through a differing spectrum.

I like Legos, filmmaking, and apple computers. This makes sense to me.

As far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter that there was a two day gap between day 3 and day 4.

Yeah I know that this is January 2nd. The idea is to start on Jan 1 but would it be me if I did something on time?

This is a shot of my desk. In this you can see three computers, and iPod touch and an analog database (notebook with paper) as well as the analog method of sending an attachment (a padded envelope for mailing a data DVD).
