if you only look at one of my posts ...

i think i've mentioned before that a magazine that i subscribe to has monthly "assignments." i like doing the assignments. they make you think and be creative, solve problems and have something to shoot. the assignment this time is: PATTERNS IN NATURE - looking for "photographs with shape, color and texture all in play." here are the ones i shot in santa barbara. i'd love comments, if you have time. thx.



rust at alma rosa




tree stump bark




rusty mailbox



more rust at alma rosa



even more rust at alma rosa




i'm not sure this is nature. it might be paint and formed bricks




lovely tree stump



seriously, is that a shooting star?

i really love long exposures. these are both about 30 second exposures. i remember when the shutter was open, a shooting star went by and i thought "i hope i got that." problem is, i'm not sure if that's it or not. i really like the other image better, but a shooting star? is it? i'm not sure, but i kinda think so.



shooting star?



really, there's no 's'?

i love the tri-tip sandwiches at cold spring tavern (i always thought it was cold springs tavern). who knew that the sunday tri-tip sandwich bbq was also available on saturday? we didn't, but we found out.

bare feet

 the couple pictured above was at cold spring tavern last saturday (10/1). they were both barefoot and both retreating to their car in the parking lot to refill their beverages with booze they had in a cooler ... they were just at the tavern enjoying the music and the picnic bench ... what'd they have in the cooler you ask? mike's hard lemonade.
