While working in my archive, I felt like these two images went well together. So, I did a quick diptych in Adobe Lightroom.

Washington-based artist Dale Chihuly showed up at Luis Kahn’s Salk Institue in La Jolla for a short photo op with his latest exhibit of glass sculpture.

It seems my standard walk whenever I’m in La Jolla is to start with the seals at Children’s Beach and make my way to the Sea Lions of La Jolla Cove.

They say a good photographer never shares his/her contact sheets. Let’s just say that “Digital Contact Sheet” is a nonrandom sample geared toward the interesting, and will happen again whenever I deem a raw series of photos worth sharing for educational or entertainment purposes.

This week’s wanderings took me from La Jolla to Pacific Beach, from Serra Mesa to North Park. I shot a lot of windows during my people-watching. Highlights included an engaging conversation with my favorite local demigod Slomo.

San Diego collectively said “WTF” yesterday when the area received a tornado warning.

Man that guy was hairy. I was editing an essay to go up in the morning when I got sidetracked by some photos I took on the beach during the summer.

When I don’t have anything else to work on, I try to put a few miles on my sneakers with a couple cameras around my neck and my big dorky camera fanny pack bouncing down my hips.

I had the prestigious honor of shooting the La Jolla Half Marathon – 13.1 miles of rolling seaside hills and beach pathways winding through Del Mar and La Jolla – from the back of the press truck. See the online version at the La Jolla Light website.
