Hawaii, Big Island. Happy to report that snorkeling does not suck once you figure out how to breathe through a tube while swimming blindly out to sea.

Continued from yesterday.
Heather looked at me with a mix of exasperation and unblinking disbelief. But she is my spouse, my love, my dear partner, and she knows that sometimes, when you can’t get around a bad idea, the only option is to power right through it.
We switched seats and suddenly I was white knuckling our [...]

Continued from yesterday.
I’m almost to the explanation now.
Next thing I know, it’s 6am and Heather is poking me to get moving. We’ve gotta leave the house in an hour. Then suddenly it’s 6:30 and we’ve got a half hour. I stumble into the shower and try to wake up.
I cram the last few things [...]

All of This Has a Perfectly Reasonable Explanation, Part 2

In AOTHAPRE, Life, Stories, Travel on 12 November 2007 with 2 comments

Continued from yesterday.
I’m explaining. Just hang with me.
The second thing you should know is that I’m kind of a nervous flier. It’s crazy, given how much travel I’ve been doing lately, but I can’t help it. The night before a big trip, I can almost never sleep.
I wasn’t always like this. When I was [...]

All of This Has a Perfectly Reasonable Explanation, Part 1

In AOTHAPRE, Life, San Francisco, Stories, Travel on 11 November 2007 with 3 comments

I can explain. Please, let me explain.
First, you should know about the crazy detector. Riding public transportation in San Francisco teaches you things. It’s taught me not to fear my fellow man, no matter how much they smell like wet dog. It’s taught me that happy surprises can happen, like when the sign says the [...]

‘Allo, London

In Conferences, Event, Panels, Travel on 3 October 2007 with 6 comments

Heather and I are in London for FOWA. We did our talk this morning, which was like 2am in our heads, and I think it went pretty good. A few kind souls were kind enough to write up what they saw: Véro, Suw Charman, and Stephanie Booth (who took the photo above). Between the headcold [...]

On Saturday I spoke at a wonderful seminar at SFAI. I realized I’ve been pretty negligent about posting my schedule here. So, here are a few places you’ll be able to catch me in the future.

September 29, 2007: Digital (Self) Publishing Your Photographic Book
Sponsored by the Photo Alliance. At the San Francisco Art Institute. It [...]

New Photo Book: Apple Sweat

In Books, For Sale, Fray, Life, Photography, Travel on 8 August 2006 with Comments Off

What do you do when your trip to New York City just happens to coincide with the biggest heat wave since 1936? Make some photos, of course!
I took my favorite Lomo shots and put them together in a book I’m calling Apple Sweat: The 2006 Heat Wave from NYC Streets. Take a look!

The Powazek World Tour

In Blogging, Event, Geek, Powazek, Travel on 12 July 2006 with Comments Off

Today I embark on the very exciting 2006 Powazek World Tour. (Well, if you consider Portland and DC the world and two stops to be a tour, anyway.)
This Thursday and Friday I’ll be participating in a private conference sponsored by - I swear I’m not making this up - the State Department. It’s called the [...]
