  • 2004 DFL Urban Outlaw Cyclocross Race 4 Video

    Our mayor hosted this DFL race in the spacious backyard of his Pacific Heights mansion. He’s a strong supporter of cross and wanted to participate in one of the infamous DFL races. See if you can spot him ripping up the course in a pretty little dress.

  • Goodbye Cruel World Music Video

    Goodbye Cruel World Music Video Filmed a great sunset last weekend up near Salt Point on the Northern California coast. Thought it would make for a nice time lapse video. Then I found a great song to go with it and turned it into a music video. Capture details: I filmed this using a Panasonic…

  • French Snail (Escargot)

    This little escargot (French for snail) was crawling along the forest floor on a hike I was on near Chamonix, France. Collect enough of these and you would have a meal. Now what was that recipe for escargot with butter and garlic? :’)

  • Santa Rosa Twilight Criterium Preview

    Santa Rosa Twilight Preview Video Just a short clip from the Cat 4/5 Race. I filmed the first corner to try and capture the action of the pack as it raced past. In the second part of the video I have slowed down the first part to 1/6th the speed. Interesting watching the riders pass…

    Date: August 15, 2004 Event: Howell Mountain Challenge MTB Race, Angwin, CA Category: Expert 35-39 Place: 3rd Team mates: Laurent & Roger (in different categories) This is a great event.

  • Hairy’s New Ruff Wear Bark ‘N Boots

    Hairy’s New Dog Hiking Boots Video As I mentioned in an earlier entry, we spent the weekend up in the Sierras on a back country hiking trip. The Sierras are full of granite. It’s a very hard and rough rock. Perfect for climbers looking for that challenging pitch. But, not so perfect for a poor…

    Northern Pacific Rattlesnake Video Spent the weekend up in the Sierras on a back country hiking trip. Ran across this nice little Northern Pacific Rattlesnake.

    My visual commentary on one of the sources of problems in Iraq.

  • Golden Gate Bridge Cables

    Grabbed a shot of the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge the other day on my commute home. I always try to carry my Canon G3 in my backpack so that I can grab a photo if something inspires me. This time it was the colors of the bridge from the sun setting and…

  • Larkspur Ferry Time Lapse Video

    Time Lapse Ferry Video This is a quick little time lapse video of the Larkspur ferry ride from Larkspur to San Francisco. It’s also an experiment in creating a time lapse using digital photos instead of a video camera. I captured each of the images using my Canon Powershot G3. I simply took photos every…
