SJDC Campus

This shot was a full page cover for the college paper.
This was with my new, and not much used, Canon A1, sometime around 1980.
Night Shot with Dropped Camera
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
During this timed exposure, the tripod fell over. I managed to catch it before it hit the ground, thank goodness. This is the result.
Contemplating Infinity
Saturday, December 19th, 2009
There is an infinite amount of nothing (there is far more nothing than there is something).
Kim as Heavenly Body
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Back in my darkroom days, and before Photoshop, I used to do fun things like this.
Kim is actually in my swimming pool. The technique you see here is called solarization, but with dodging around her head. The “stars” are actually sand sprinkled on the photo paper during the second exposure.
Steely Dan

They were just hanging out at the beach in San Diego. I didn’t even recognize them until months later, looking through my album art.
This was around Summer 1978.
Martin Mull
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
I was able to meet Mr. Mull in college when my friend Karen, who was a singing Playboy bunny, hired herself to go up on stage and present him a greeting from his local fan club (which was her). She brought me along to photograph the event.
It went over so well he asked if she could do it again for the second show. So between shows we hung out with him backstage, and he talked about the early days when he and Steve Martin were a comedy team (Steve Martin Mull).
Jim Stafford
Monday, November 30th, 2009
This is Jim Stafford. I interviewed and photographed him for my college paper.
What a decent, down-to-earth, talented guy. He now has one of those theaters in Branson, Missouri.
McKinney Gothic

My daughter Jessie and I both have a somewhat morbid sense of humor.
This was taken in the Pecan Grove Cemetery in McKinney, Texas.
Kim
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
Back in the late 70’s, this was accepted for publication in Popular Photography. I don’t know if it ever actually appeared, though.
It was my first experience with having to get a model (in this case, her parents) to sign a model release.
Stockton Gothic

Old friends (and neighbors) Kim and Larry.
I was trying to take a serious photo with them looking stoic in front of the American flag, but then a gust of wind came up and the shot went wrong – or actually, I think, right.
Patti McGuire
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
She was Playboy’s 1977 Playmate of the Year, and I was so nervous I could barely speak.
This is what she was signing…
Bubbles
Sunday, October 25th, 2009
My daughter Danielle blew the bubbles off our balcony and I snapped shots.
Up To No Good

Philip K. Dick, Clowns, and Reality

Did all this on my iPhone using Photogene, Vihgo, and Lifestrips Strip Designer. Images belong to whomever originally uploaded them to the Internet.
