Best Halloween Craft



I saw this craft in Cambria 2012. I had to make one. Three water bottles. It is addicting.

Moms are Special




My friend Ruth made this amazing assemblage of cut up flower images from greeting cards her mother had  saved. She is experimenting with various compositions before framing her favorite one. They are exquisite. At the base of the vase, she placed a poem about  Life and Love to honor her mother. I was blown away by this creation. Thank-you Ruth for sharing your art. It is beautiful.

San Francisco Shops


The hasselblad has some amazing properties. I love to shoot store windows in SF. This time of year you can capture the deep browns and bright orange color ranges. This is a hat store and you can see the richness of the creation. Thank you Portra film.

Groundbreaking Mike and Doug Starn

Doug and Mike Starn are phenomenal artists. They are identical twins doing incredible conceptual art. Their photographs integrate nineteenth century romanticism with a modern conceptual twist. I  love their portrait, silver print, collage work. They built a towering sculpture over the MET with a crew of 12 rock climbers putting together 7,000 bamboo poles. You cannot stop these guys.

Inspirational Ping Pong

8 ping pong players with 703 years between them compete in the World Over 80s Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia. This documentary film is fantastic. I enjoyed sharing this with the Rehab AGCC Therapy team and watching them route for the contenders.  Dan and I  loved this film.
