Hurrying through the last of the summer

I have a bit of a confession to make. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and while part of me is enjoying the routine chaos that is my job, the other part of me still wants to be footloose and fancy-free, traveling Europe with my backpack and rail pass. To be [...]

Street chalk art. Of a street. :-)

Today I took a walk with a friend down to Fremont Park for the 20th annual Chalk It Up festival. I went last year with my big camera and took a bunch of pictures, but this year I just took my cameraphone. Low-key, casual, and still a whole lot of fun. I don’t know what [...]

Senior picture time

I love Tower Bridge

(Pssst — go to the main page of my blog and check out my new header pics, then leave a comment here letting me know what you think!) :-) One of Sacramento’s more distinct landmarks is the lovely art deco Tower Bridge, which spans the Sacramento River and leads to the state Capitol building.

Fire dancing

I took some pictures of the fire dancer at Second Saturday a couple of nights ago–she was using a hula hoop internally lit by colored LEDs that had flaming wands attached to it. She was absolutely AMAZING. More pictures are in the gallery here. Oh, and these were intentionally long exposures–I wanted a motion blur. [...]
