Not many cooler places to spend the first day of Spring than here -- sunrise at Joshua Tree National Park.
It even comes framed with a crescent moon.
This was taken a day earlier, and over 200 frames before the image below.
last summer, i "won" an "in working condition" polaroid 240 land cam from evilbay. it didn't work and now sits in my "i'll rescue you someday" pile. fast forward to the beginning of this year – i won a "looks like it was never used" 320 (well, except for the stale cigarette smell, corroded battery and terminals and dried out crud on the rollers). today is the first day of spring and i am sick. so i decided to drag myself outside with the camera. it worked! these are some resulting shots from the first pack. to say "i am happy" would be an understatement. i think i am in love.

.... Yul Kwon and I met on Thursday night at the opening night party. We had been introduced via email during the weekend prior. We found we were very much in agreement about social causes. Yul attended my film Tre on Saturday and afterwards a group of us went out to dinner (quickly) before the fundraiser party. Somewhere along the line, Yul and I decided to shoot a political commentary video the next morning! The result was this video in support of Rep. Mike Honda's "Comfort Women" Resolution 121:

[Special thanks to filmmaker James Hou for shooting the Yul interview and lending me his camera to do the voice recordings.] Yul's introduction follows English translation testimonies from survivors of the rape camps read by Karin Anna Cheung and Kimberly-Rose Wolter, both actresses who have starred in my films.
With time of essence for my friends on Capitol Hill and with no other time available, I decided to record the voice testimonies DURING the Sunday night screening of Tre. It was quite harrowing, with Kim (who stars in Tre) and I both fearing that we'd lose track of time and not return to the theater in time for the q/a. We actually did get back in time, thank goodness, and the q/a was interesting and awkward as they always are for this film.
Yesterday I had a really great session with students at University of San Francisco. Amazing how technology works these days. I was able to show them the YouTube video, and even fly them around the YouTube cyber space ...

Went to Milwaukee today and explored the Third Ward and Brady Street. Made a quick stop in Riverwest before heading home. The day, the itinerary, and the company were all delightful. It was the first day of Spring!

three more photos from south beach in florida. I didn't take many on the beach -- most of the pictures I took are from the everglades and other locales.
happy friday -- and first day of spring!
*I think there are 8 gulls in this photo -- can you spot them?*
[grrr... this photo looks so much better on my imac. I had to tweak the colors a bit to get it to look even close on my laptop.]
Happy bokeh Thur...
Ahem (clear throat) sorry.
Happy spring's first day then.

Lena and I headed outside to take some pictures. Today is not only the First day of April, but the first day in quite a while that it seemed nice enough to go outside!
Good Morning Earth, Good Morning Spring. Good Morning flickr world. My babe and I got up early this morning to go treasure hunting. We found some gems in the earth. This is my favorite time of year.
I haven't been able to get around to streams in about a week or so it seems... I will get there! ;-) Thank you for the kind comments and encouragement I've been finding with my recent posts!! I'm starting on some big projects and your words and feedback are invaluable help to me! I am so appreciative!
Gratitude Journal: I am grateful for Spring. I am grateful for seasons. I am grateful for crack-of-dawn photo seeking excursions! :))))

A year of living positively. 7/365
Happy 27th, Son! More than anything we wish we could tell you directly. As you can see, you're not forgotten. This year we need you, your cousin Ellen, your Grandma McGlynn, and your Grandpas to keep cheering us on - we know all of you have been - as we fight forces of evil destroying your beautiful state and country and so much that has been sacred to your family for generations. Love, Dad
Saturday I went across to Windsor to my old medical centre. I've visited a couple of different doctors in my area (both male) and haven't felt really comfortable with them and when I tried to make an appointment one time with another nearby medical centre they basically said that if I hadn't been there before they couldn't take me on :-S
So even though the last doctor I saw at my old medical centre is on maternity leave and my favourite doctor has not been working there for a couple of years, again due to child-related commitments, I ventured back over because they have all my history and such, so it's not quite like starting over.
Since I was in the area, I decided to visit one of my favourite features of my old neighbourhood, the St Kilda General Cemetery :D
I filled a 1GB memory card rediscovering graves I'd explored back in 1996 and 1997, and where I'd photographed my friend Daniel for my final folio, and taking shots of flowers and such (yes, flowers... eep!)
By the end of the 365 days project I'd like to get a more imaginative image of me in a graveyard. I need to find one that's interesting but out of the way and rarely populated. I'm conscious of people thinking I'm a weirdo or having an objection to me photographing graves, let alone photographing myself in a cemetery and using a tripod to do so.
Just when I was thinking I was pretty much alone in the cemetery and free to relax a little and take some self-portraits, this friendly-looking but nerve-inducing guy around my age made his appearance just as I was picking up my bags after taking a couple of self-portraits near this grave. We exchanged smiles, mine quite nervous, worrying that he was a mourner or a caretaker about to tell me off for taking photos. In the end he didn't appear to be either and didn't approach me directly, but he did seem quite curious about me and seemed to be lurking about a bit more than I'd have liked. In the end after I'd wandered a bit more and tried to appear unruffled, I decided that I'd had enough of watching over my shoulder and left the graveyard to head home.
In my typical style, first day of spring and I already managed to get a bad sunburn :-S
Lazing in the sun, this was truely the first day of spring, dont know how long the sunshine will last though!
i like how the cat moved in on sequoia's baby toys

I saw a friend post a similar photo on FB today and just had to ask.. apparently there is some speculation to the idea that the earths gravitational pull on the spring and autumn equinox allow this phenomenon to happen, whether it is true or not i know two things..
1. its pretty freaking cool
2. i just spent entirely too much time trying to make an egg stand on end
Lena and I headed outside to take some pictures. Today is not only the First day of April, but the first day in quite a while that it seemed nice enough to go outside!
I saw this Male Purple Finch a couple of days ago singing his little heart out. I think the tune was that top ten hit by the Purple Finches titled "It's Spring, It's Spring, It's Spring" , LOL. Happy first full day of Spring to all my Northern Hemisphere friends and happy First day of Fall to all my Southern Hemisphere friends
