I spent much of the day working in the garage, where these lights are. A stark contrast to the rest of the week’s outdoor themes.

Red gladiolas from a flower arrangement.
Processed with Lightroom to get a more dramatic feeling from them.

Not too many Sundays like this one left.
(Note to NYT Crossword geeks, the San Jose Mercury lags a week from the Times.)

Taken at Shoreline Amphitheatre during a Steve Miller concert. I straightened this photo a few degrees and removed a water drop, but otherwise this is untouched, including color and contrast – a rarity.

My sister and I are helping my Mom do some house hunting. One of the houses we visited had a funky workbench in the garage cobbled together with parts from desks, a refrigerator and miscellaneous other things.
The sign nailed to a bottom drawer is what really caught our eyes, though.

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.
How

I really wanted to do this to my router around midnight last night when it decided not to work anymore, but I guess the cold concrete helped persuade it otherwise.

This felt good, too. There is some catharsis in exacting revenge on a drive that crashed.

I shot more images for my “Stuff I Built” page. This is a detail from the garage cabinets I built. I used hammerheads as the drawer pulls – they look right and feel good to use, too.

Taken at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, CA. Rosie is actually a mannequin.

A tough day for photography. I didn’t like anything I shot today, including the moonrise over Silicon Valley. So at 11pm I played around with my small Olympus and got a shot I could work with. I like the aggressive cropping here.
