About My Blog
I’ve thought about this blog for months and I’m still pondering. For now, I’m going to keep it simple and see what evolves. Here you can find new photographs and a few from the file boxes that have never found a spot to call home. I hope you’ll come back for more!

Focus
I really enjoy photographing the start of local triathlons. There’s a lot of energy and emotion flying around. Plus, nobody says “no” to being photographed at these events. These two photos were taken at the Santa Cruz Triathlon last September. It was a dark, grey morning. Looking for something different, I was using way out of date Delta 3200 ASA film and a heavily duct taped Holga.
