Still working, just not blogging here so much...

Hey all,

I'm still photographing things in life, I'm just not blogging them as much because I find the upkeep of Blogger tiresome, what with broken images and such

If you want to keep up with me, swing over to my other social media to find me

School's out (for the class of 2021)

 

                                               

If you swing over to the Dixon Independent Voice website article, you'll see 7 of MY photos in this week's online issue, and 5 made it to the physical copy. 

   

I'm moving up in the world. Congrats kids!

 

Front page of DIXON INDEPENDENT VOICE newspaper & 3rd page

 

Finally got front page of my local DIXON INDEPENDENT VOICE newspaper and got additional photos on page 3. 

Here is the online version of the article my photos were featured in. What a great feeling this is!! 

Panning

I've been intrigued by panning shots over the years, and I've only done a few by accident, but after some aid from a photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area Street Photography facebook group that I belong to, I went outside in the court, set up my tripod and went to work, eventually got this shot. Definitely proud of it

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Here is my best shot from something of a strange vantage point on new year's eve, in Sacramento. Hope it's a great year and a great decade for everybody!

The old man (our Pine tree) finally falls

On Sunday, October 27, 2019, the big tall pine tree in our backyard finally fell down in a horrendous wind storm. It created quite the problem..

It wasn't till Thursday, October 31st, 2019 that it could be dealt with. Wild!

Featured in "Pathfinder" online magazine

I was featured in the "Pathfinders" online magazine for the Summer 2019 issue. Click on the cover image of "Summer 2019", with my fireworks photo, and turn to page 7. My only beef with the article was that they said I "left" North Bay Regional Center (NBRC). That's actually the agency that HELPS me, and they aided in finding Turning Point for me, so I don't anticipate leaving NBRC anytime soon. Other than that, it's a good article

My photo on ABC10 7/4/19

Great feeling to be on ABC10 again!

6th Time award winner!!

Just got back from the Solano County Fair  and discovered my shot here

won an "Honorable Mention" award. This makes my SECOND Honorable Mention award, and my 6th ribbon I've won so far in my career. CRAZY feeling right now. I'm at a loss for concrete words!

Made the headlining image of Vacaville's "The Reporter" newspaper

My photo from here, from this morning, was featured on an article from Vacaville, CA's "The Reporter"

Annual Dixon parade precedes a beautiful day at the May Fair

They also featured, in the gallery, my prize winning shot of Reif's Antique Gas Station

SO cool to be given an honorable mention and have my photos featured in another newspaper!

1ST PLACE!!!

I finally won a 1st place ribbon at the annual Dixon May Fair. Here is the original shot



INCREDIBLE feeling!! Oh and here it is in color

Front page of the Dixon Independent Voice

The week of March 18-22 my photo made the front page of the Dixon Independent newspaper

Apparently 2 idiots were making drugs in this RV and it blew up in their face. 2 dead, 2 injured in the aftermath. Here's the story on KCRA.com

2 killed, 2 injured in early-morning RV fire in Dixon

Feels AMAZING to have MY PHOTO in an established newspaper!

At rest

We recently put my late neighbor, Air Force veteran Doug Ford, to rest in the Sacramento Valley Veteran's Memorial Cemetery. Was a somber day. We later visited with people at his house and celebrated his life

A loss

Sadly, on Valentine's day, I lost my neighbor, here in Dixon, CA of 30+  years Doug Ford due to Cancer. He was 85. I didn't agree with him, politically, but he was certainly a nice man who watched me grow up from 1986 (when I moved to Dixon) onward. He was like a 2nd grandpa to me (my grandpa passed in 2004). Being a retired war vet aviator that he was, he had quite the vast collection of RC planes in his backyard



I imagine they'll go to good homes in the foreseeable future to some good RC plane enthusiasts. Doug is survived by his 3 children, from left to right, Lisa, James, and Andrea

Trip to Anaheim

My family and I went down to Anaheim, California recently. Got some photos while I was there



Fun times!

Global Winter Wonderland 2018-19

photo by me

I went to the Global Winter Wonderland in Sacramento, on Friday night, January 4th, 2019. This years theme was "The 12 days of Christmas".





I later googled the song and the number of gifts total, and this is how google broke it down

She gets 1 partridge in a pear tree on each of the 12 days.	1 x 12	12
She gets 10 lords a-leaping on the last 3 days.	10 x 3	30
She gets 11 pipers piping on the last 2 days.	11 x 2	22
She gets 12 drummers drumming on the last day.	12 x 1	12
Total		364

interesting...
