In fact, it was pretty anticlimactic. A couple of hours later we saw these horses doing what all the humans had been doing all day–hightailing it to high ground and watching the water below. And just to prove a point, tonight we climbed out onto the rocks by Kailua beach to check out the tidepools. Read more…
I arrived in Hawaii just in time for the tsunami that’s supposed to hit in about 5 hours. We just heard the warning sirens and it’s pretty much the only thing on the news, but my brother’s place (where I’m staying) is on high ground so we’re safe. This does rearrange the priorities for the Read more…
This weekend, in addition to the baseball photos, I had the pleasure of doing a shoot with my friends Monsters are not Myths. I recently shot them live, which got me thinking about doing a staged shoot. I am really excited about how these turned out! Take a look at the entire main album or Read more…
Last weekend, I took some test shots for an upcoming “Women of the CWBL” calendar I’m planning to shoot. I’ve played in the California Women’s Baseball League for six seasons and we’re always looking for fundraising options…and a calendar almost begs to be done.

I am SO going to do something like this with numbers in the colors I see. In fact, my mind is churning on that right now. One of the Read more…
I was planning on a Tibetan lesson last night, but when it got cancelled, I was left with “nothing” to do. “Nothing”, for me, apparently translates into: Going for a run, getting rained on Coming home, taking a shower Emailing a bunch of people about upcoming shoots Going to a cafe, eating a red velvet Read more…
My trip to Tibet last year was the inaugural year of the “Dream of the Turquoise Bee” Tibet trips led by Dianne Aigaki–incredible artist, world traveler, and more than anything else just one of my favorite people on the planet. You couldn’t do better than this for an authentic trip to a part of Tibet Read more…
I finished a pair of these, and attendant acoutrements, just before Christmas–one for me, and one for John. So far I can’t take it out of the house without getting comments, and I hear he’s had the same experience–so it worked… While walking through Kanze in Kham (Tibet) with John and our friend Sandy, I Read more…
