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!

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...
