Haven’t posted one of these walking-the-dogs snapshot series in a while. I like taking “the kids” out for a walk around the neighborhood, slip in an iPod earbud, get caught up on the podcasts. Time to think, look around. Sometimes the light is just so beautiful, it makes me wish I had the Canon 7D and a simple tripod that I can just sling over the shoulder to stop + set up + record some footage. Got to work on that. If anybody has some suggestions, I’d like to hear them. At least, having the Android smart phone, I’ve...

Retro Camera – Walking Hollywood Park

Retro Camera – Walking Hollywood Park

Thinking of calling this “Smart Art” — taking art photos with your smart phone. When I take our dogs Ava and Alex out for walks around the neighborhood (we live in a section of Sacramento called Hollywood Park, just across from South Land Park) I always carry my Android phone with me. You never know when you’re going to have an emergency or see something and need to make a phone call. So far, thankfully, that hasn’t happened. But I always like carrying a camera with me and the Android has a cool photo app called Retro Camera, that...

Occupy Wall Street – Occupy Philadelphia

Occupy Wall Street – Occupy Philadelphia

The Occupy Wall Street movement is now going into its second month. It’s getting colder and wetter out side so it will be a test of their endurance through the winter months. But I think they’ve sparked some nerves that many Americans have been feeling about the disproportionate bonuses of corporate CEOs are recieving. Especially if they slash thousands of workers from the payroll citing financial reasons, then are awarded $20-30 million dollar bonuses in cash and stock. That doesn’t happen in other countries–and it shouldn’t be happening here. I think this movement will be making its voice heard...

Portraits of Protest – Occupy Oakland General Strike

You never know what people are going to like. I was crossing the newsroom where there was a news meeting going on and one of the managers said, “We really liked the pictures you got at the protest yesterday.” At first I thought he was talking about the stories that I shot with KCRA reporter Mallory Hoff at the Occupy Oakland protest in downtown Oakland yesterday (Wednesday, November 2, 2011). Then he said he was talking about the snapshots I’d taken and sent back. Someone else asked me what camera I was using because they were so cool looking....

Walking Philadelphia–A Photographer On Vacation

Walking Philadelphia–A Photographer On Vacation

This is my first effort at posting a photo gallery or slideshow, so please be tolerant. I’ll probably have to try this a couple times till I can get it right — or, at least, to fake it decently. Bonnie and I just returned from a visit to Philadelphia where her daughter Lori Foxworth (star of our film Nightbeats) and our grandson Sam now live. They have a five year old golden retriever named Shelby, who needs to be walked a couple times a day. If I’m visiting somewhere and there’s a dog, you can almost bet money that...
