Physical work - Tuesday, April 22
Just putting the finishing touches on a new table/desk for my studio, been working in the real world and not so much digital output of late. Good sign is my cpu is back up and online. Pushing forward through email and more design. Keep an eye out.

Thoughts of Barcelona - Friday, April 4
Currently sorting through lots of great pics from our Barcelona trip last summer. My beautiful Brandie and I walking the streets of a really inspiring city. My favourite trip to date. Plus the light while we were there, was perfect - so I was able to capture some amazing scenes with my Nikon N90s. Love the feeling of shooting with film. These days I get strange looks when buying 35mm as everyone seems to think this format is dead. Hmmm, well, I can say that this camera still amazes me even after all the exciting digital developments.

Something to be said for the quality of an image and not so much about 'which camera'. Anyways, to each, their own.

Still a few more Sweden galleries to put together before moving to my Spain stuff.

More soon - Wednesday, March 26
Currently filtering through some more images from Stockholm. Working on developing a couple more rolls of 35mm from the Ice Hotel as well. Not sure how that's going to workout, since the lighting was pretty minimal the entire time. I think we had about 5hours of daylight. Looking over Brandie's shoulder as she's getting into the video aspects of our trip. Fun, fun.

Do it NOW - Monday, March 10
Yea, story of my life. So many things. So little time. or so it seems...

Took some time to give some love to a set of images I shot on my Nikon n90s while visiting the Getty Center last year. Something I've been wanting to do, but hadn't found time to develop, create and post. So, today's the day.

If only everything could flow so easily. These images are printed from 35mm film and were really vibrant, my favourite roll of film to date. All 36 exposures were 'dialed'. Love it. And yes, I just did it now. or then, or a few minutes ago, or yea, you know.

Do the things that matter to you
A quick glimpse backwards for a second reminded that I forgot to mention Brandie's 'big' birthday as our inspiration for heading to Sweden in the first place. Last year was my turn, this was all about my girl - and exploring more of our ever-expanding world together. So, we slept on ice together. Something very memorable, I mean, when is the next time anyone will be able to say that they slept on ice, and enjoyed it. Yea, it was cold. I we liked it. Might even go back at some point in our life, but not anytime real soon.

So here's to new things. And reminding ourselves to do things that matter to us. Don't forget about everyone else, but just make sure to do the things you want to do and it all seems to work itself out in the end - happiness is all what we make it.

Stockholm Edit - Tuesday, February 26
Ah the city of Stockholm. Beautiful sweeping skylines with steeples and naives extending into the gray sky of winter. Given, Stockholm was much warmer than Kiruna, which is where the ICEHOTEL is situated, inside the Arctic Circle. There was still a bit of chill in the air. Snow even throughout some of the days. Still, wasn't much of an appearance from the sun, yes bright and light for a bit, but for sure, no sun. Feels like it's been a long dark winter.

Thankfully, being back in California, I have reconnected with the sun and realized that travelling far from home gives such a huge appreciation for what most of us take for granted everyday. Love life today and slowly breathe in some clean air while reminding yourself that yes, it's good.

Two-New from Sweden - Thursday, February 21
A couple more new galleries from our recent trip to Sweden. Still trying to figure out what to do with the galleries that these have replaced, but until then, working on more new ones. The past couple of weeks the weather in San Jose has been epic, and thoughts of spring were dancing through my brain. Hmm, the last couple of days though, reminds me that yea, it's still only February and warmer weather is still a bit further away. Thankfully, not nearly as cold as Sweden. Mind you that the ICEHOTEL is located inside the Arctic Circle. Definitely a winter wonderland. So, yea - more sun please.
