More Boats

Fishing boats in Punta Mita, Mexico: northern part of Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta.

Yes, I think that this cow, smarter than most, was attracted to this restaurant for a reason.
Taken in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Spring break was a while ago, but I scanned some of the best photos only recently. Here's a shot of late afternoon on the beach.

Another Rolla Fence
Oh how we love our fences in the Midwest...

My roommate... I love the light in this one!

Photofriday: Silky


Is this picture cliche? I don't really care. I was there. And it's always amazing what happens when water mixes with sand.

I took this photograph about a month ago, just days before leaving Stanford. The campus is extremely beautiful... so much so that it's been photographed from every angle, and most of the pictures I took over my four years there ended up feeling recycled.

But I'm pleased that in my last few days I was able to get in at least one image that feels moderately unique. It's a familiar scene, but perhaps it's the colors or the vantage point that make it somehow more dynamic than the standard "view of the quad" shot.

Fence in Early Fall























Taken in Rolla, MO. Early fall, 2000.

Kite Flying Spring at Stanford

Got it! Who says I can't manage HTML?

Barcelona, at La Sagrada Familia

End of the Day

View of Puerto Vallarta



It took some maneuvering to line up the foreground plant with the background, and then when I got it developed I found that the last two exposures on the roll were 1/2 double exposed... so hence the square image. At least it wasn't a total loss!

Hello is offline for me again... I think there's a moral here that I really need to design and host my own site rather than rely on everyone else's technology to run things for me.

Graduation
Taken during wacky walk, at graduation, Stanford University, June 12, 2005.
After The Man confiscated the materials for their tower, they were understandably shocked that The Man almost stole our umbrellas as well.

Incidentally... we did make it into the Stanford Report Article. "Also seen were a procession of walking iPods, several balloon floats, spray-painted umbrellas... "

Angel Island - Former Military Hospital Facility
Photofriday: Used
I'm trying out the new "Blogger Imaging" because the Hello BloggerBot is offline.
Pros: You can upload multiple pictures per post and include paragraph breaks in the text. Archives 1600 pixel image, click to see full size
Cons: HTML hassle to make image large enough.

Orange... oh yes it is!
This was actually taken on a playground slide.

Marmot on Half Dome
This is a strong contender for my favorite picture of the year so far. This Marmot, on top of Half Dome at Yosemite, was digging for candy in my backpack just moments before I pursued it for this shot. Clearly, it is quite the intrepid animal.

This one taken at a hot springs resort in Costa Rica. It made for a delightfully steamy atmosphere.

"Cliff's House of Love"
hehe, I wish this shot were higher quality... I would enlarge it and give it to Cliff.

Club Tangerine. Another interesting night photo, this one from Las Vegas.
Shortly after I took this we got rejected from this club because the guys' shoes weren't nice enough...
