Last night was a good friend of mine Adam Sjoberg’s birthday party.Everyone invited was told by Marci (the organizer) to dress like Adam… so we did…as you can see… Although stripes are MY thing, I also remembered that Adam had the same shirt…so I wore it.Later in the night Adam was given a B&W striped [...]

(photo courtesy CSULB website) California State Univerisity Long Beach has one of the most interesting pieces of architecture in all of the city and maybe even Southern California.

Rum, Rum, Rum! I’ve ordered 3 Mojitos* since I’ve been back from my Cuba trip and I am truly spoiled… That muddled fresh mint leaves in a chilled glass, that fresh squeezed lime and the main ingridiant Havana Club RUM! I can duplicate the mint and the limes and even the chilled glass, but I [...]

Final Note This trip is and has been the most emotional trip I have ever taken… actually the 2nd most emotional!(Banda Aceh can’t be beaten if we are talking about harshness and adventure) This Cuba trip has been a life changer as well.Would I do it again?…I’m not sure….there were times I wanted to give [...]

I like this shot.Its wild, its colorful, its ironic. What time period was this taken in and why was Samuel in that period? These are questions you may never get the answers for…but at least it gets that extra percentage of your brain working. This image was taken with my Canon 5D, with 580flash attached [...]
