Picture This!? (Vol. 5, Spring 2012)

Today, I was finally able to pull together an album of images from the spring, shot in and around Southern California. From beach to city to ballpark … and from concert to eclipse to bars, there is a nice bit of diversity to this recent set. Below are a few sample images from my latest set on Flickr. You can see the rest (35 images in all) by simply clicking this link:

40 for 40

As I mark the passage of 40 years on this planet, I’ve had plenty of chances to reflect on those four decades — the happy moments and the sad; the wins and the losses; and everything in between. As I rolled these years over in my head it struck me that perhaps I could put together a list — in no particular order — of 40 various people, places and things that have affected or influenced my life, brought me great joy or even provided simple lasting memories.

To my loved ones: you are ALL at the top of any list I would make like this, so realize and recognize that before you note to yourself, while reading, “What about me?” For all my cynicism and dark wit, I just love living and experiencing life so much that I could never touch on everything that’s made a mark on me in this or any space. But I can give you a decent set of examples — one for each year that I’ve lived.
