"Every day of the year where the water is 76, day and night, and the waves roll high, I take my sled, without runners, and coast down the face of the big waves that roll in at Waikiki."

Took advantage of a rainy day to photograph Bamboo Lou, the Big Kahuna. He is a discontinued Wacky Wobbler Nodder by Funko.
"Float Club" is an attitude. An idea. A frame of mind. A state of grace and a psychic destination. Don't ask "how do I get there?", it lives within you, and you don't travel to it, you Achieve it. You just Cruise-Inn. The First Rule of Float Club is "Yes, Dogs can be Pirates, too."
It's an either/or choice. Float or sink (or live on the bubble of neutral boyancy). Take things lightly, and you float; plug in on the heavy side, and you sink. As a kid, I was so scrawny and bony, I had real trouble getting from "Intermediate" to the "Swimmers and Divers" class--an essential step to get on the swim team. My body density was such that floating was only possible if I hyperventilated, filled my lungs with air, and arched my back--even then, only my nose and mouth would barely break above the surface. As I grew, floating became easier, and trusting the water to carry me became an analogy for "faith" in it's many forms. Later, in the service, I learned the technique of "drownproofing" called "bobbing", and spent hours adrift--and found it to be a relaxing meditative experience--no longer living as a "sinker".
Philadelphia - 2011 Hot Diggity! Gourmet Hot Dogs on South Street in Philly
This dog was topped with guava mustard, grilled onions, pineapple salsa and spicy (orange) habanero aioli. I chose the spicy ginger mayo dipping sauce for my fries. The dog is a 7-inch Sabrett served on a Liscio's roll.
I ate, "The Big Kahuna." Read more about it on my photoblog!
Is this a great face or what? ;) Karol, Denise & I met Lane at the Flower Fields craft show in Carlsbad today. He and his lovely wife, Elyse, are the proprietors of Big Kahuna Native Naturals, a line of fine sea salt scrubs. More photos from the day a little later ........

"Forse ti sposerai o forse no.
Forse avrai figli o forse no.
Forse divorzierai a quarant'anni.
Forse ballerai con lei al settantacinquesimo anniversario di matrimonio.
Comunque vada, non congratularti troppo con te stesso, ma non rimproverarti neanche.
Le tue scelte sono scommesse.
Come quelle di chiunque altro."
The Big Kahuna
Los Angeles, 2012
My six-year-old Rebel XT died this summer, so I replaced with a T3i. I enjoy wine, so I thought it appropriate to photograph a glass and bottle of vino for the first shot with the new baby.
Goditi potere e bellezza della tua gioventù. Non ci pensare. Il potere di bellezza e gioventù lo capirai solo una volta appassite. Ma credimi tra vent'anni guarderai quelle tue vecchie foto. E in un modo che non puoi immaginare adesso. Quante possibilità avevi di fronte e che aspetto magnifico avevi! Non eri per niente grasso come ti sembrava.
Non preoccuparti del futuro. Oppure preoccupati , ma sapendo che questo ti aiuta quanto masticare un chewing-gum per risolvere un'equazione algebrica.
I veri problemi della vita saranno sicuramente cose che non t'erano mai passate per la
mente. Di quelle che ti pigliano di sorpresa alle quattro di un pigro martedì pomeriggio.
Fa' una cosa, ogni giorno che sei spaventato. Canta.
Non esser crudele col cuore degli altri. Non tollerare la gente che è crudele col tuo.
Lavati i denti.
Non perder tempo con l'invidia. A volte sei in testa. A volte resti indietro. La corsa è lunga e alla fine è solo con te stesso.
Ricorda i complimenti che ricevi, scordati gli insulti. Se ci riesci veramente dimmi come si fa. Conserva tutte le vecchie lettere d'amore, butta i vecchi estratti conto. Rilassati.
Non sentirti in colpa se non sai cosa vuoi fare della tua vita. Le persone più interessanti che conosco, a ventidue anni non sapevano che fare della loro vita. I quarantenni più interessanti che conosco ancora non lo sanno.
Prendi molto calcio. Sii gentile con le tue ginocchia, quando saranno partite ti mancheranno.
Forse ti sposerai o forse no. Forse avrai figli o forse no.
Forse divorzierai a quarant'anni. Forse ballerai con lei al settantacinquesimo anniversario di matrimonio. Comunque vada, non congratularti troppo con te stesso, ma non rimproverarti neanche.
Le tue scelte sono scommesse. Come quelle di chiunque altro.
Goditi il tuo corpo. Usalo in tutti i modi che puoi. Senza paura e senza temere quel che pensa la gente. E' il più grande strumento che potrai mai avere. Balla. Anche se il solo posto che hai per farlo è il tuo soggiorno.
Leggi le istruzioni, anche se poi non le seguirai. Non leggere le riviste di bellezza. Ti faranno solo sentire orrendo.
Cerca di conoscere i tuoi genitori. Non puoi sapere quando se ne andranno per sempre.
Tratta bene i tuoi fratelli. Sono il migliore legame con il passato e quelli che più probabilmente avranno cura di te in futuro.
Renditi conto che gli amici vanno e vengono. Ma alcuni, i più preziosi, rimarranno.
Datti da fare per colmare le distanze geografiche e gli stili di vita, perche più diventi vecchio, più hai bisogno delle persone che conoscevi da giovane.
Vivi a New York per un po', ma lasciala prima che ti indurisca.
Vivi anche in California per un po', ma lasciala prima che ti rammollisca.
Non fare pasticci coi capelli, se no quando avrai quarant'anni sembreranno di un ottantacinquenne.
Sii cauto nell'accettare consigli, ma sii paziente con chi li dispensa.
I consigli sono una forma di nostalgia.
Dispensarli è un modo di ripescare il passato dal dimenticatoio, ripulirlo,
passare la vernice sulle parti più brutte e riciclarlo per più
di quel che valga.
Ma accetta il consiglio... per questa volta.

This is the largest gem-quality Kunzite found at the Oceanview Mine, and most likely the largest ever found in the US. Mark Mauthner is holding it (very carefully!). Note the deep lavender-purple color even face-on. Looking down the c-axis it was so deep purple it was nearly opaque. This belongs in a museum--which one?
From what I recall, the ancient Egyptians believed that if you destroyed all the images of someone, you denied them their immortality. There were Pharaohs that attempted to strip their predecessors of immortality by defacing their statues. This, of course, was not the case with Ramses The Great, who was widely regarded as the grandest of the ancient rulers.
This is one of the colossi of him at Abu Simbel - still working to assure his immortality...

"You’ve already done plenty of things to regret. You just don’t know what they are. It’s when you discover them--when you see the folly in something you’ve done and you wish that you had it to do over, but you know you can’t because it’s too late. So you pick that thing up and you carry it with you to remind you that life goes on, the world will spin without you. It really doesn’t matter in the end. Then, you will attain character, because honesty will reach out from inside and tattoo itself across your face."
--Phil Cooper to Bob Walker, in The Big Kahuna
