  • The Elixir

    I’ve had a cough for about a week now…pretty annoying really.
    So this is what Cindy came home with from the Chinese Pharmacy.
    You have to boil it for half a day.
    It smelled like hell and didn’t taste any better.
    I’d like to say it was the elixir I needed, but it didn’t seem to do a thing.
    That’s not to say I wouldn’t try it again or some other tonic.

    Here’s the recipe for those interested.

    8 grams Panax ginseng
    8 grams White attractylodes rhizome
    8 grams Poria
    8 grams Licorice
    8 grams Rehmannia root
    8 grams Ligusticum
    8 grams Angelica sinensis
    8 grams White peony root
    4 grams Cinnamomum
    4 grams Astragalas

    Put the herbs in a glass or ceramic heatproof vessel with 4 cups of spring water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Strain the broth and reserve. Add 2 more cups of spring water to the herbs, boil, and simmer again until reduced by half. Strain the broth, add it to the first brew, and discard the herbs. Divide the broth into 3 equal doses and drink warm on an empty stomach in the early morning, in the afternoon, and in at bedtime.

  • This is a Good Day

    I shot this image of Max for MJE Marketing and The Port of San Diego a few years back. Back when he still had his 2 upper front teeth. I always loved the image but thought it might be too cute and not be able to find a use. Great to see it finally find it’s place in the Port’s folio of ads. Marlee & Aaron Ishaeik did a great job with the design of the ad. Aaron also happens to be a great painter as well! Check out his work here:

  • Alan G….getting close.

    Looks like the Alan G Tug is getting close to making it out of dry dock. They’re going to plunk it back into the water on Thursday. Can’t wait to be there for that.. In the meantime I’ve been down a few time recently and to check out the progress.

  • 2009 PDN Photo Annual Winner


    I’m honored to announce that we were selected in the Corporate Design Category of the 2009 PDN Photo Annual for our work at the San Diego International Airport. We worked with the talented folks over at MJE Marketing to create this body of work for the Airport’s 2007 Annual Report. Thanks to everyone involved! It was some late nights and even more seriously early mornings. Nothing like being out on the tarmac as the city and Airport start coming to life! The Airport is always one of my favorite projects every year.

  • TK Girls – Round 2

    This series is much more in line with what I had envisioned for the Tilted Kilt Girls portraits.
    I love the light, both literally and figuratively. The previous Darker Versions are growing on me, but this is the look I was going for going into this shoot.

  • The Road Home – Hwy 74

    I decided to take the back way home from the Palm Springs Photo Festival. It takes a helluvalot longer but it’s a good way to stave off the utter boredom of I-15, or any Interstate for that matter… Also a good opportunity to do some shooting.
    Hwy 74 up into the San Bernardino National Forest was especially nice.
