The Russian women were fabulous! So nice, so full of great ideas and so fun to photograph! We worked hours and hours, one then the other back and forth, and if we all weren’t so exhausted we would have done more more and more. View the chaos that is my living room and the poor tired women taking a break before the next round…

A good life
This is life in my house today… the kitties loll about and sleep in delicious comfort while I toil cleaning up preparing for guests– beautiful russian women I am photographing today. Oh to be a house cat… this is Toby, one of my two beloved gigantic felines under the amazing quilt Karin made. My friend Karin, also a cat lover, adores pics of kitties (particularly tabbies) and inspired me to elevate my own precious ones to the public arena… This one’s for you darling Karin!

Larger Than Life

I was going through some pictures from the past month and came across this one– I just think it’s cool– Larger Than Life, a KISS cover band cool enough to be in the Tribute bands documentary movie you can see playing on cable these days. They played at the Roadhouse with a band out of Oakland, the Servants and a local band, Strangehouse. It was a great night for fun and music!
Victory Gin with Honeyspot

Losing Victory Gin
Victory Gin is a great loss and I for one am so sad to know they have broken up. I went to Old Ironsides for their last show and took some pics. A couple of the guys from another great band, Honeyspot, got up and did a song with the Gin too. If anyone reads this and happens to have a copy of their first CD, Missouri Flat, I would be estatic to have a copy! Tower doesn’t have it either, boo hoo.

Home Sweet Home

A lovely nightscape of the California State Capitol… and the thing in the sky is a light reflection hitting the lens. Shot around 10pm with a fisheye lens.
woo hoo
