Woohoo!

Posted on October 21, 2005

Woohooo! I waited for this day for a long time. Apple released the Video iPod and it’s just the coolest thing ever! Of course I got one for myself… but what’s better than a new Video iPod?? Two! Yes, I got one for Codi, too! We’re hip, we’re cool, we’re out $600… Ha ha ha. Ewww…

Night Drive

Posted on October 20, 2005

I went to a dinner party at Argyle Winery this evening. On my way home, I took some long-exposure shots while I was driving. A few of them turned out to be interesting.

Gorgeous Sound, But What Is It?

Posted on October 18, 2005

I was visiting Kiev (Ukraine) and saw this older man playing a really intricate string instrument. It sounded amazing, like a cross between a balalaika and a harpsichord. It was unlike anything I’d ever heard before. Only one problem, I don’t know what the instrument is called! Woops!

(I complain about playing my 6-string guitars! This guy has about 50 strings to deal with! Zheesh!)

Creepy Cemetery Photos

Posted on October 15, 2005

I was asked to take some photos to go along with an upcoming press release. I found out that the photos were to be taken in an old cemetery… wooo. Upon arrival at the gravesites, a thick fog had enveloped the entire hillside making the cemetery look creepy.

The withering tree and dead leaves add a certain punctuation to this photo. The moss and lichen on the gravestone seal the photo with a ghostly feel.

This column has five different names on it, telling of the mysterious loss of an entire family just after the turn of the 20th century.

This is the oddest wording I’ve ever heard of for a gravestone. “Not dead, but gone before.” Eeee.

Dictionary hounds will probably remark that the epithet is gramatically correct and makes sense with a different definition of ‘before’, but it’s still very odd.
