My old college friend Mike came up from San Diego to bbq. We barbecued meat, broccoli, and onion. It was epic. Good friends, good eats.

duotone planter
I dropped my dad off at his new physical therapist in Pasadena and had to go to the Apple Store. They open at 10:00 am and I got there at 9:54 am. So, I walked around the block and took some pictures. This planter is in a small alley (right next to Equator (a coffee place that's cool)). The ground is angled on purpose, btw.

Un(der)locked and key
Wayne and I put cabinet doors in his kitchen today. I took this picture at a stop light as we were getting machine screws that were the right size. Thanks to Wayne for suggesting various angles for this shot.

Inverted Glendora
A late night shot while driving through downtown Glendora. Since the original shot wasn't the strongest composition (and I needed a photo-a-day), I ran it through the fun, yet tacky Photoshop wringer.
In Photoshop, I merged 2 photos with different exposures. Next, I added a few filters... paint daubs, plastic wrap, and dry brush. Finally, I ran it through AlienSkin's Antimatter. It inverts colors and adds some character. That's why the bright streetlights show up as super dark circles.
It's been a long time since I've played in Photoshop. Maybe next time, I'll just take the time to capture a stronger image initially.

Hero, blur
Preston rocked out the Guitar Hero world last night. He was a first timer, and took it to the bank. This was a .8 sec shot with a slow sync flash (that's why his face is growing out of his other face).

Scary spider bug eating a bee
Definitely the creepiest photo I've ever taken. Thanks to Mark for finding this forsaken spider. What IS it? 8 legs, eating a bee? uf.
