Welcome to California.

Santa has competition this year

Boba shop dragon

What is he saying?

What my belt sees when I drive

I miss fired my camera and have a pretty decent accidental shot here.. It has a decent lay out and colors to it...

Welcome back

Fighting off the effects of jet lag.

Me and my camera

With thirty minutes to get changed, get in the car and go three and a half miles from home I should think that I did rather well... Here is the shot to prove it, I am getting silly with my Gary Phong Lightsphere flash diffuser... That and a Expodisk white balancing disk have to be two of the coolest pieces of kit that I have picked up recently..

It is worth noting however that I did in fact touch this picture up a bid before posting it, and ya, I am showing off a little bit with it.. Boys and toys.

The last little bit of info, Be sure if you have a tool that you know how to use it properly. In these pictures I did not use my Expodisk totally properly which gave a warm effect to the pictures.

Industrial Espionage 3

At the Honda design studio in an effort to save trees has forgone with paper in favor of the much more enviromentaly friendly alternative, plywood. Along with the use of a coal furnace to heat the studios, eliminating the need for the poluting electric and gas heating, the deisgners do find time to let the trees out of there loving embrace and put the ducks down and actually come up with a realitively cool and progressive design for a sport cruiser.

Just don't pay any attention to the ergonomics of it and you'll be fine.

Industrial Espionage 2

The inovative bit here, besides the square weels, is the adjustabel billet aluminum seat. Able to accomodate but the largest of Japanese midgets for stramlined power output and incresed efficientcy.

Industrial Espionage

Sneak shots of the proposed Honda Clean Air Vehicle. Still has some bugs to work out but the intrepid engineers at Honda have been working for 18 months on the problem of the friction coefficient.

Burr and Norton "Fritz"

Burr and Fritz siting and relaxing before Fritz gets to take his first train ride, all be it a short ride.

Trains

Watching the trolley pull away from the station this fine day.

I won a Butterball Turkey at the union meeting. Whoo Hoo... Just need to learn to cook now...

Spiders!

Found a Black Widdow sitting out by my garage, These are some of the most poisonious spiders on the planet. I did dispatch it with a swift burst of chemicals from the friendly people at Dow Corning so this little nasty will not be a threat to any of the little kids in the building across from me.

Me and Dave, study again..

Escaping the smoke and ash, it is study time in the sleapy little town that I call home. Once more to the books...

Saturday

Yes, it's another Saturday night here in the city of angels. It's a Saturday with fires blazing in the San Fernando valley and the smoke choking the city to the south of it and blocking out the sun. It's the Saturday of a long drive and good night with friends. It's a Saturday that finds me thinking of friends that might be lost and wondering when I shall see them again.

Where does this Saturday find you?
