American Classic

Bill's Place, Clement & 24th. "The Home of Hamburgers."

Arizona Highways

I have not picked up a camera in weeks. Took a wrong turn and just kept going...

Integrity Confidence

I got to a game Friday night -- first one since I've been injured -- and captured this shot from my wheelchair-accessible seat.

Letting the Light In

Lunch at the Tee Off Bar & Grill in SF with Mrs. G and a friend yesterday.

The Palace of Fruit is Closed Today

Seen in Petaluma on 4th of July.

Keep Your Boy On His Toes

Another one from the Marin County Fair. Maybe this is too cutesy, but there is something about that kid up on his toes with such unbridled glee that makes me love this.

Tracking the Over Under

Mrs. G was kind enough to wheel me around the Marin County Fair for a few hours on 4th of July. I caught this shot of people walking to the fairgrounds while sitting in the car waiting to park. The people on the top are a couple of highway patrolman dealing with an accident on northbound 101.

God Bless Edmarica

Benicia, July 4 2012.

Independence Day

Happy 4th of July, everyone.

Mount Hoffmann

A Time to Use the Yellow Phone

Street scene in Willits, just a couple blocks off 101.

Peephole

Eureka Sundown

Cliché, I know, but I still like it.

Common Loons, Maine Woods

Side Yard of the Century

With my doctor's okay, Mrs. G and I were able to get away for a few days this past weekend. The trip north -- to Garberville, Eureka and surrounding environs -- was very relaxing and therapeutic, probably even more so for Mrs. G than for me. One big bonus was that I was able to do a lot of drive-by shooting. And yes, this is a deliberate Dead Slow homage.

Even Tough Guys Need Someone Sometime

Alternate Energy Source

Bombay Beach, Salton Sea.

It's NOT Instagram, It's FILM

Late Night Muni

Shot on the way home from the Ale & Qual Club gathering (where Generik was greatly missed, and everyone wished for his speedy recovery).

California Super Market

Calexico, California, just across the border from Mexicali. Inside this store all the signs -- all of them, official, hand-written, whatever -- are in Spanish.

Say Goodbye to the Club

At the Salton Sea Beach Marina.

G Sings for His Supper

My buddy the drama queen last summer playing the Cowardly Lion.

Loving SF

Off to the Carnaval parade.

After the Rain

King's Market

From this past weekend's Carnaval parade.

Three Geese

I won second prize in photography in a pretty big local art fair last week with this shot. Learned a lot about printing and framing in the process. For one thing, it's expensive.

Putting It All Behind You

This picture, maybe more than any I've ever taken over the years, exemplifies exactly what the annual Bay to Breakers race is all about. And if anyone out there is offended... well, what the hell are you doing here in the first place? You know how we are!

Matching Glasses

Another one from the Maker Faire. Just loved those glasses!

Shocking!

From the Maker Faire in San Mateo last Saturday.

No Rush -- Any Time is Fine

I posted this shot -- another from the most recent How Weird Street Faire -- on Facebook a couple days ago, and apparently it's become quite popular. Viral? Hmmm. Maybe. Who woulda thunk?

Long Shadows

Early morning at Pudding Creek Trestle in Fort Bragg (previously captured by Generik here).

Bald Eagle Strike

Unlike a self-respecting Osprey, a Bald Eagle will scavenge carrion. This one missed his dead fish target.

Keep Your Eye On the Ball

From this past weekend's How Weird Street Faire.

Shiny Happy People

A group of revelers at the Aub Zam Zam last night, curious about our Ale & Quail Club presence. "What's with all the cameras?" Just pose, please. Thanks.

Shooter & Spotter

A co-worker and former co-worker on a recent team-building offsite.

Art Appreciation

Another one from the recent show with Julie Michelle and William Taylor Jr.

Osprey with Trout

Our annual edition.

"The Only Rule is 'Don't Shoot the Piano Player.'"

Seen at the recent reception of a show by talented photographer and friend Julie Michelle with local writer William Taylor Jr.

Gracias, Come Again

In my neighborhood.
