When You Least Expect It

I have mixed feelings about people putting dogs in strollers. On the one hand, it is pretty cute, on the other hand it is kind of silly. Ok, Cute wins, just look at the dog in the photo above. Melts even my cat loving heart. And while I am on the subject of dogs, I […]

Goats in the City

These photos are from a current project I am working on. This part of the project involves a herd of goats that are taken to various places around San Francisco (in this case the Presidio) to clear the undergrowth. They are eat quickly and are very environmentally friendly. If you want to know more about […]

All That is Solid Melts Into Air

What do you do when you have non-functioning urinals and an event scheduled? Put flowers in them and call it art. I think this was a brilliant solution of an interesting problem.

The Tyranny of Distance

The title for this post is not some profound thing I came up with to riff on, it is the title of an album by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists when I was trying to think of what this post will be about a song from that album, Dial Up, began playing on my computer. […]

What to expect when you have no expectations?

I used to think being spontaneous implied not preparing or planing, just jumping into whatever it is you are trying to be spontaneous in without any forethought.

Take your car outta that gear

I am not going to assume everyone knows the title for this post is from a Clash song The Magnificent Seven If you do not know the song, take a listen, I will wait….. It is time for me to become unstuck from the past. All too often people are trapped in their bubble or […]
