The Vast Wasteland Of Television

A graffiti art installation on old televisions at Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea. I have been going to the Salton Sea since 2003. The changes in the last few years at Bombay Beach have been amazing with the influx of the arts community. 12-31-2023

I don’t want to say I first took flying lessons a long time ago; but this was my first Cessna flight manual.

It Will Get You

Do you see it? Look close. One of the most dangerous creatures in Joshua Tree National Park. The Cholla known as the Jumping Cactus. It does not actually jump but has very sharp spines with barbs that easily detach from the plant and snagging anyone nearby. The Cholla Gardens in the Park have sidewalks so people can safely walk through and warning signs. However it is somewhat amusing to see visitors walk through in typical shorts and flip-flops venturing off the path. It must keep the Park Rangers very busy with first aid.

Color Checker

Some time back my large color checker went missing. Probably got left in a gym during a shoot. Now I can’t find my small version. I am sure it will turn up but probably will have to buy a new one until then. Makes me feel better about color matching under different lighting when it is color critical.
