Petaluma Fair

What does the county fair mean to you? For me it use to be about the rides and boys. As I got older it was about all of the great music - Peter Frampton, Joan Jett, Eddie Money, Stephen Wolfe. But for little kids it's an awesome trip of carnival rides, games, food and farm animals.

People Places and Things

If I didn't have my camera with me at all times, I would be very bored. I see lines, shapes and random weirdness that I must capture at all times. I live and breath photography. I love to document day to day life and share the results with friends and family. Here are a few of my random day to day images

Early Shots

Photography is in my blood. My Grandfather was a photographer and my Mom and Dad are photographers. When I was younger there was always a camera near by. My favorite subject early on was my Mom. She is a beauty! Long flowing dark hair, ice blue eyes and the perfect nose. Add great fashion sense and an adventurous spirit and you've got one great subject.

1. Taken just before she was going flying. The vintage pilot hat was a gift from my dad during her flying days. circa 1980's

2. Long flowing hair and rockin a full length tweed coat with fur collar - I was about ten when I took this
circa 1970's

3. Last shot was taken when I was around twelve from the back of her Chevy blazer. Rockin another great coat!
circa early 1980's

Things that are Brown

If you ask my mom what my favorite color is, she will tell you it's brown.
Here are some of my favorite "brown" images

Brown is for sure one of my favorite colors!

Small Town Parade - Penngrove, CA

Who would have thought to have a 4th of July parade on July 5th - But every July 5th Penngrove, California does. Lots of horses, kids, fire trucks and small town locals. It was a blast.
