The Spiders are Right

Well about a week and a half ago we had a storm that set records for the most rain fall ever in the month of October. An old wives tale is that when we have a lot of spiders, we’re going to have a lot of rain, at least my neighbors will still have TV

Last Week 9-22-09

This last week I attended an Apple Certified Training course on Final Cut 7, my instructor was amazing, here’s a link to her classes, (oh yea, she wrote the book also) simple amazing class and instructor:

I’m really proud of this and I hope pride does not come before a fall, it’s a new world for still image makers, I want to ride that train!Peace

It’s the middle of September

Wow, it became winter here over the weekend. The waves went to 8-10 feet and we had rain Saturday night. It’s dark in the morning when I get up now, a month ago it was bright, it must be this earth rotation-season changing thing.

We’re really looking forward to a rainy winter, we can sure use it ( I know in a couple of months I’ll be complaining about it). The light and the opportunity to make images in the rainy season is wonderful. The first year I lived here in 1995 we had a very wet winter and I think I photographed almost every day, can’t wait.

Next week I’m off to LA to attend a class on Final Cut. There is a test at the end and if I pass, I’ll be Apple certified….I don’t test well.

Fires- broken toes and spider webs

Wow, what a summer. Here’s a shot of the Gloria Road fire a little east of us, our air quality is pretty bad from it. I sat and watched it  as it just consumes 100’s of acres, nature is amazing.
