Mr. Grumpy

I think this Stag Mule Deer was a little cranky that it was still snowing lightly three days after the initial storm. I only got a couple good frames of him. He was completely nonplussed by my presence and half the time wasn’t even facing the camera. I was actually a little disappointed that he didn’t run in terror or even charge me!







In his defense, it was early in the morning and maybe the continued snowfall coupled with my presence left him feeling thoroughly depressed. I’ll never know, but I did get quite a few photos of his rear-end while he looked off into the distance. Then, he sauntered down the ridge, disappearing into the wild.

Self portrait on the road to Las Vegas in 1995. I bought a KZ-440 and drove it from Carson City without registration or a motorcycle license all the way to Las Vegas and then cut across through Bakersfield and up Highway 1 back to SF.

Brewer in SF

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, showed up for arguments at the Ninth Circuit Monday. I doubt she stuck around to celebrate as the Giants beat Texas.

A photo from my archive taken in In New Jersey overlooking the Hudson river. The statue is dedicated to 15,400 Polish soldiers ambushed by Russian forces in 1939. This photo has always reminded me of the headless horseman and thus a good image for Halloween.

My Favorite Photographer

Daniel Doiy 1938 to 2010 - Images by Jason Doiy

Daniel G. Doiy passed away on Oct. 13 after a long battle with cancer. A life-long political and animal rights activist, he was born in 1938 in Akron, Ohio.

He served in the Navy aboard the USS Intrepid before moving west during the heyday of the 1960’s; finally settling down to work 26 years at Cal State Hayward as a systems engineer.

He is survived by his daughter Danielle Addleman (Aaron); sons Jason Doiy (Caroline) and Alex Craig; grandson Micah Addleman.

My dad was my biggest inspiration for me becoming a photographer.

Cantil-Sakauye named to replace Ronald George

If confirmed Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye, 50, would be the first Asian American chief justice and give the court a female majority for the first time in history.

"She is a living example of the American Dream and when she is confirmed by the voters in November, Judge Cantil-Sakauye will become California's first Filipina chief justice; adding to our High Court's already rich diversity," Schwarzenegger said in a news release this morning.
