    The street fair was organized by the people who run Theater Artaud. They were soliciting donations to help the theater continue running in the future.

    I’ve been meaning to write about some work that I’ve done which has been published recently. The September, 2001 issue of TPL Entertainment, a Colorado periodical, published a photograph from my Drug Bust! Photojournal. The panorama shot outside my house was taken one April night when I spied this apparent…

    I was up at 2:00 am Saturday morning, debating whether or not I should drive down to Palo Alto and sleep out at the Apple Store. The Sandman wanted me home, however, and I acquiesced to his sleepy demands. As I had already been to the Apple Store at the…

    During my Russian River Adventure in July, I met a number of interesting people, among them two artists, Mina Reimer and Patrick Roddie. Mina actually is the cousin of Nancy, a former co-worker at Palm. Following the trip to the Russian River, I kept in touch with both Mina and…

    I’m in the process of going through the 600+ photographs that I took at Joe and Cam’s wedding. The lighting conditions were exciting yet challenging to deal with. We had mid-afternoon light fade away to dusk, which transformed into night photography! It’s going to take me some time to select,…

    No, this wasn’t the Stanford Newton User Group meeting tonight at the Printer’s Inc. Cafe; that was last week and the fourth Tuesday of every month. Many of the same people who attend the SNUG meetings were present at the SPUG meeting, however, including Flash, Glen, Dave and Roger. Rounding…

    During that time, I’ve taken some personal time off, but in all of those cases, I took time off to attend weddings in faraway lands such as France, Rhode Island, and Minnesota. I finally came to my senses on Thursday in deciding to take a well-needed break from work. Weddings…

    September 27, 2001

    Wedding rehearsals are key to any well run wedding. Practice what you’re going to do before you have officially. When the curtain goes up, however, you only have one shot at history. It’s the same with wedding photography — there is no second chance! Working in the technology industry, we’re…

    On the fourth Tuesday of every month now for the past several years, the Stanford Newton User Group convened at Printer’s Inc. Cafe in Palo Alto. The numbers were once strong, though in recent years the group’s numbers have dwindled to only a handful of people each meeting. With the…

    Friday night, I drove up to Hearst Gym in Berkeley to see the Berkeley Wushu Team demonstrate their skills to wide-eyed freshman. There are some definite differences between Berkeley and my alma-mater, Stanford. While the Farm resembles more of a country club, Berkeley appears to the new student as an…
