Elena and group’s school performance is a ‘Happening’. The family enjoyed the event along with 7 other performances at the College. This was followed by having some killer tacos in downtown Olympia. A nice evening.
Ocean Fix
As a child, we did not have Cable HDTV’s, Super Malls or iPhones so for entertainment, we hang out the beach. I remember peeling off sunburned skin. A lot of mangos, pineapples and coconut drinks. I still go to beach for my ocean fix. The sound of the waves are hypnotic and calms my spirits. My amateur video was taken during the fall of 2007 at Ocean Shores, Washington. It’s a 2 hour drive from Seattle on Highway 101 next to Aberdeen.
Seattle Natives 08
To kill time during extremely booooring meetings is to doodle on my Palm. I save, and later import to PS to work on layers later. I posted these images of Larry H, Flora and the AF kid to PhotoBucket. It is a part of a set of Palm doodles called “Seattle Natives”. Most of the drawings are based on real people. A slideshow of Seattle Natives features “IOD” as background music and is by Greg Tripi also from PhotoBucket. Check it out….the stuff is old but still fun!
My SeattlePix
“Not Taken” by Phil Rodriguez is one of SeattlePI’s 2007 Photo of the Year selection out of 5000 entries. The picture was taken on a Poulsbo bound ferry ride. Check out my other SeattlePI MyPix selections.
Tropical Spain
This video is a slideshow of some of the best images I could gather to capture the landscape and imagery of Philippine Islands. These are some of the best photos taken by some cool photographers. I posted this on YouTube in 2006. The musical credits: Spain by Chick Corea.
Capitol Hill
The kids during the early 90’s when we lived in the Central District of Seattle. I left the painting (shown above) in a pile of stuff i decided to leave or give away. It’s a large pastel painting on canvas. We were leaving our 6 bedroom rented home into a 2 bedroom tiny apartment. No room for a studio. The kids are all grown and we moved into a slightly larger home. I really miss having a studio in the city.
