After a day of snowboarding in Mammoth I decided to head out and try some Milky Way photography. Its really the wrong season for it, but why not. This is up by Tamarack lodge, far enough away from the town that there isnt to much light pollution, but you can see what a couple of porch lights can do with the landscape : ) The tracks are coming away from the infamous "Hole in the Wall", that I will find the cajones to board one of these days.

Glorious weather at glorious Goodwood today with the track day event. My iPhone pressed into service to get some video and stills.
Trying out some pan action...

i decided to add queen anne's lace to my wildflower garden. so i took a bucket and shovel to the nearest railroad. (isn't it interesting how this flower grows around all train tracks?). as i put shovel to ground, an older man walked toward me.
him: what are you doing?
me: digging up queen anne's lace for my garden.
him: you can't do that!
me: oh, is there an ordinance against this?
him: no, but that thing is a weed. you don't want it. it'll grow up all over your yard.
me: well, i think it's pretty.
him: fine, do whatever you want.
i think human perceptions are interesting. what's a flower versus a weed? what is beauty? what is kindness? we hold many different views. each day i see or learn something new.
this is a long exposure late evening shot of the frozen beach, I didn't notice the animal tracks until I downloaded it to the computer, I think they are a nice addition!
This is Brooke, isn't she magnificent? I'm just north of Wellington in New Zealand at the moment and I'm lucky enough to be able to run with Brooke up this bush track each day for another week. I don't know why she stopped but there wasn't much light so this was a lucky shot. It was shot at ISO 1600. I'm using a Pentax K200D at the moment and may take it to Nepal with me, it's such a great little camera. It's a bit like me, not that pretty but quite functional :) Seriously though, if you're looking for a good little DSLR this camera rocks. People moan about the small buffer but I say it makes you concentrate more on each shot rather than just clicking away. The Shake Reduction really saved me here.
Beautiful dog, I'll miss her. Her owners give her heaps of love though. Not all animals are so lucky.
Thanks so much for all the comments and messages of support here at Flickr and at wildtiger.org, we really appreciate it.

From our deck. One human, and at least one other mammal, probably a squirrel, or possibly a dog.
That snow is almost gone already. There's probably more to come.
Thanks for looking!
Oldie but a goodie. Freestyle painted in 1994 with Chen under the south Minneapolis Tracks. This piece was really significant at the time and was a relatively different style then people were used to seeing in Minneapolis. I basically rocked a piece in what I consider to be a style in the culture of Cali graffiti at the time. It wasn't as good as what I was used to seeing but I was so infuenced at the time by writers that I had grown up admiring like Risky, Power, Slick, Hex, Dream (L.A.), Green and Charlie that it came out in my style. Originally, I painted with Chen but he never finished and I did. Funny thing is, while painting this, I had a younger writer (now a famous T.C. writer) and his Mom, stand behind me and watch me and ask me questions the whole time. I didn't mind. At them time, I was just flattered to have anyone take notice. Also, when I came back a few days later to try to get a photo, I didn't realize that there was a group of people sitting up on the embankment behind the wall. When I took the photo, I heard some people start screaming and yelling at me. I began to walk away and noticed that a small mob had decided to attempt to snatch my camera and jump me. As they approached, I took off running to gain a distance on them. I figured I had a better shot at fighting one or two that followed before the rest caught up. I ran about 10 blocks with some of them on my tail. I finally stopped when it was me and only one other dude. I grabbed the biggest rock I could find and quickly turned and started to go for him. As I got about 5 feet away, he realized that he was alone and that I had now become the aggressor and he stopped dead in his tracks. I think that he had thought that I would be afraid of him. With a giant rock in my hand, I wasn't afraid of shit. He paused and I started to threaten him. He couldn't understand me because he only spoke Spanish but knew I meant business. Right about then, a female approached and intervened. She stated, "He thought you were trying to take a picture of us. We are homeless and drug addicts. We were using drugs and he thought you took a picture of us. Don't hurt him." I told her to tell him I was only taking pictures of my graffiti. She did. He quickly changed his demeaner and when I saw him change to a nonaggressive attitude, I put the rock down. We clearly had a stand off that was based off of a misunderstanding. He looked me over and then they turned and walked back to join their group and I climbed the bridge embankment I was at and went home. It was A really intense sitiuation and I am glad that nothing bad ended up happening. It could have been bad on both our ends. Crazy times!
