September 19, 2007 – Bones

I came across this coyote carcass on my mountain bike ride this morning, once again in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The spine was right on the property line of the Jikoji Zen Temple and Retreat Center. Despite their peaceful name, I’m not messing with those guys.
I didn’t know what kind of animal it was when I was up there, but the spine was almost 3 feet long from the hipbone (left) to where the skull would attach (right), so clearly a large animal. The thin ribcage and tall dorsal bones made it easy to identify online.

September 15, 2007 – My Cameras
These are the cameras I use regularly. A Canon 10D, an Olympus Stylus770SW, and a Motorola Razr V3.
The picture was taken with the Canon and the Olympus and comp’d together. If you look closely, the image on the screen of the Olympus is looking over the top of the Canon looking at the felt set up for this picture.

This is a sculpture by Andy Goldsworthy installed at Stanford. It is made from sandstone recovered from buildings destroyed in the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes.
I love Goldsworthy’s work, and it’s wonderful to have a piece so close to home.
Photographing it was quite a challange – it’s difficult to convey the size and dimensions of the work.
