The blogs of my friends...

Hello friends,
I'm back from a lovely trip to SF and as usual, many pictures will soon be up for you to see. What a city that is! Everything is happening there and the Bay is so beautiful. Right now I cannot put up the SF blog, I have a big painting job to finish for the new Kahuna Grill, opening up in Paseo Neuvo mall. More on that later...

My friend and fellow artist Tanner Goldbeck works as head designer at Jesse James' West Coast Choppers. Actually, I'm not sure if he's still working there, but he has a new blog and he put up this really cool post. They must have had a cafe there or something, but check it out. It's worth a look:

San Francisco, here I come!

I leave tomorrow. Whoo-Hooo!!! I can't wait. This is so overdue. It will be so nice to get on the road and breathe in some different air. Just drive. I wish I were going for a month, but a week will have to do. I'm going to the MOMA for some art, to Amoeba for some music, to the observatory for a little view, to many restaurants to eat yummy food, to see dear friends and spend a whole day at the Korean Imperial Spa where I will be soaked, scrubbed, massaged and rejuvenated. I will spend one night in a hotel by myself where I will read or sleep and enjoy some R&R, the rest of the time will be spent on friend's couches or fold outs. I may try to seek out the little church that Anne Lamott writes about in Marin. I'll spend a couple of days in Oakland and check out the East Bay. I haven't really spent any time there before, so that will be new. Hopefully Louisa will show me around. If anyone else has some good suggestions for me to do or see, please let me know...
Bon Voyage!!!

Fun with a camera...

I really enjoy photography. I've never done it professionally, but I take my camera with me EVERYWHERE... I'm always snapping photos to the point of fanaticism, and I find beauty in all places I go. It's so easy to find beauty around here. We are blessed to live in an especially beautiful part of the world. I take deep wonder in it daily.
I am known to pull over in the most dangerous of conditions just to get a good picture. Here are some of my favorites, I took all of them in or around Santa Barbara county. I hope you like them. Please let me know what you think.
