Yes, this photo is real and untouched with any digital program.  I snapped this photo from the inside of this restaurant called Asqew’s in San Francisco.  I noticed that it had the time all weird and thought it would be interesting to see what you thought of the clock.  The food at this place was okay but I wouldn’t go there again.  It seems like everything they serve was missing something.  I had to put salt in my food and sugar in my Root Beer.  They serve mostly Barbeque ribs and chicken.  They have a small selection of fish.  If you want to go there it is right down the street from the Golden Gate Park.  I would love to hear your reviews on the food if you have already went or plan to go.

While visiting the Golden Gate Park I came across this huge antenna that was ruining the scenery.  Anyone know what it is and what is its purpose?  I know that it is an antenna of some kind but why did they put it right in the middle of this beautiful area and not on top of some building?  I snapped this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using my Canon 28-135mm lens from the lake in the park.  Anyone know anything about this thing I would love to hear about it.

This weekend I had the chance to go to San Francisco and experience some of its beauty.  One thing that I thought was amazing was the Golden Gate Park.  My wife had seen this article in one of the Via (AAA Insurance Magazine) Magazine Issue, where it had this underground garden.  We went to try and find it but had no luck until we were flipping through some street magazine that we picked up while in the town on Friday.  We seen the same thing she was looking for.  We spent the night and went to see it the next day.  We walked over from the lake to see this amazingly long line to enter the garden.  It must have been over a thousand people in it and it wasn’t moving very fast.  Soon after we heard a lady say, “If you don’t already have a ticket then you will not get in.”  So we gave up and explored the rest of the park. Like this tree that I captured with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon 28-135mm lens.  There are more things to see so stay tuned. I am planning on trying to go back during the summer or so to take a trip over to Alcatraz and get my ticket ahead of time for the garden.

This is an old photo that I took with my Minolta Dimage 5.  My wife and I were on Labor Day weekend and we went up to Huntington Lake.  We drove down one evening to Shaver Lake to have dinner and on the way back to the camp I stopped and took this photo.  I must say that it is very beautiful up there and would love to go again with my Canon.

Well it is officially 2009 and there isn’t much to talk about.  I didn’t do much that was worth photographing for the new year so I knew that I needed something that would be attractable to the eye.  This is an old drawing that I drew back in 1997.  I have heard a lot of ideas behind this picture and would like to get some more of your feedback.  When I drew this picture I was just out of High School and in the Marines so maybe it has some point behind the design.  One man once told me that it looked like the flame that comes out of a rocket.  I had fired many rockets already by then but it never dawned on me when I drew it.  I was just drawing some plant that somewhat resembles a Marijuana plant which has no relation with me since I never had an issue with the stuff, but I would like to here what your thoughts are on the photo and the subject.  Thanks again for reading and have a Blessed New Year.

This is a photo of an orange flower that I took at Lake Tahoe.  I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Sigma 70-300mm lens.  I had the lens stuck in the Macro setting and couldn’t get it out so I just shot it the way it was.  My family was in a hurry so I needed to run.  I think the picture came out beautifully.  I am not sure exactly what kind of flower it is but if you know please let me know.  Thanks!

This is a photo of Toulomne Meadows just above Tioga Pass in California.  Very nice place.  It is peaceful and full of fresh air.  I went on a road trip one day and we went over to Yosemite, then up through Tioga Pass and then over to Mammoth Lakes, then over to Lake Tahoe.  It was a long drive but I think it was well worth it.  I took this picture with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and the Canon 17-55mm lens.  

This is a photo of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.  This photo was taken some time back when my wife and I hiked over to the other side of the bridge and I tried getting an angle that would show me more of the bridge but it was impossible unless I had a boat.  I was thinking of going over to the north end of the bridge but that shot had already been captured so many times.  I took this picture with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 just outside of Palm Springs, California.  This is the famous wind farm that provides power for so many people.  This farm has been seen in a lot of movies like E.T. and so many more.
