Kudos to St. Louis for their zoo. We were out there a couple weeks ago and spent half of Sunday seeing the animals, and watching other people seeing the animals. Many of the residents are separated from the visitors by glass, allowing one to get face to face - I find it as interesting to [...]
Stereo Lava I took this stereo pair in 2003 at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. Seeing it in 2D, it is a flat wall of lava, in 3D there are five distinct layers of rock. I think it's a great example of the power of 3D in certain situations. You [...]

Each semester I take team photos of our students at the beginning and end of the term. It's fun to do, the students need the photos for their project websites, and there is always a fun creative challenge to do something that is relevant to their project. Five Sided Square "Five Sided Square" [...]

100,000 miles on my Porsche. As a reward she's gone in for a full valve job and checkup. I plan to see the odo roll over again.
I was in St. Louis two weeks ago visiting my son and speaking to a class at Washington University on entrepreneurship. We did a bit of sightseeing and went to the Arch. It's a challenge to photograph an iconic monument in a unique way - a quick search on Flickr will reveal over 83,000 photos [...]
The annual pilgrimage to NAMM has passed on by, my favorite pix have been up on Flickr for a couple weeks, and now finally the website gets them. It was especially fun noticing Alan Parsons on the exhibit floor selling his new "Art & Science of Sound Recording" DVD set. If you want to meet [...]
