That spike in the graph means a baby is on the way.

The playground blacktop is getting slurried. Here's the steamroller that rolls the steam over it.

This is an oversized truck.

It's what on the inside that counts

It's what on the inside that counts, originally uploaded by billselak.

Here's the inside of my guitar amp. If you haven't seen inside a tube amp before, here you go. If you don't know, there are two types of amps--solid state and tube. Solid state uses electronics to add color to the guitar sound; with tube amps, the sound passes through the tubes. The sound is richer, deeper, fatter, guitar-ier. btw, I almost burned my hand reaching in to take this (the tubes get really, really hot).

Here's the wheel of my new road bike.
If you know a lot about bikes, the tires are Forte Pro DC, 700 x 23C and the wheelset is Formula Element XSR-3, 20H and QR.

It's not just for breakfast anymore.

This holds the barrels together

This dock had lots of barrels around. I think they were going for a pirate theme or something... this was the only decoration around. Either way, I like the depth of field in this shot.

This is the view from our room in Dana Point. Nice.

Balboa

We played Mass on the Beach and then went for a bike ride through Newport and Balboa. The Balboa Peninsula was fun to ride along since nobody (especially cars) really goes there. Thanks to Paul and Mike (The Francis Band) for being patient while I stopped to shoot this.

Pedal

This pedal will soon be on my new bike, and it will keep my foot attached to the bike. That way, I will fall in a painful, embarrassing way at a crowded stoplight.

Another hard day at the office.

I beat Isabelle in a six hour game of Monopoly.

Maybe it's just me, but Wal Mart shouldn't post confidential papers on the shelves. Just a suggestion...

Central Coast

Here's the drive back home. It was pretty (long).

Relic

I found a phone booth that worked in San Luis Obispo. I decided to walk around downtown during sunset while waiting for a friend's birthday celebration to begin.

SLO Creek

I read my book in the middle of this creek, waiting to meet a friend. It was nice.

Harbor

On my drive to visit old friends in San Luis Obispo, I stopped off in Ventura for halibut and chips at the super tasty Andria's in the harbor. I got there just after sunset and just before they closed. Nice timing.

Ode to Wayne

This seems like a shot Wayne would be proud of... the depth of field and the dirt. It's like you can taste the grime.

Worn

My old electric guitar case; I think I've had it for 12 years now. I like the detail in this shot--how the tweed pattern slowly goes out of focus.

Check it out large on black.
