Sarita feigns indifference to the aquarium residents' diet of all-you-can-eat restaurant quality seafood.

Sarita on the Monterey Aquarium "Behind the Scenes Tour". Tour climaxes at tossing a frozen smelt or two to blase Yellowfin swimming in the big kelp forest tank. A good cause, but for joy quotient save yer $10 for the cioppino at Phil's in Moss Landing.

I shot this handheld with the new K20D and my 30-year-old 300mm manual focus K-mount prime. That sensor-based optical image stabilization thing is kinda the bomb. (cropped to fit)

I just finished Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, and so riding up near La Honda, I did a spontaneous pilgrimage to try and find Kesey's prankster compound. It was easy to recognize from old photos I'd seen, after a bit of backtracking up & down 84.

Rode up to Bodega Bay to pick up my new freediving wetsuit. Sublime place. This is the view from the dive shop parking lot.

Diptych, Great Dismal Swamp. Anything but dismal: every scene there has the airy minimalism of a sumi-e ink and wash painting.

The very steampunk 1882 vintage 60" refracting telescope, Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton. Best nerd daytrip out of San Jose.

Biker chicks (clockwise from L: Pablita, Lola, unnamed Brahma that got killed by a skunk). These were my original birds, ca. spring 2007.

Dressed up for my Friday temp job. The look is a little Adam Ant, no? (sorry youngs) PS - Marshmallows are a long story.

Baby's first spearfishing success: Cabezon taken at ~20ft amongst kelp off Carmel beach. Ugly, but supposedly very fine eating. Destined for grill & serving on bed of braised wild mustard & fennel w rice.
