211-365 Edging Ahead
I often accuse myself for stagnating and feeling as though I am going nowhere. At least I know there are some cities in this country that want everyone else to slow down and acknowledge that some Men are Edging Ahead in this world.

210-365 Trust Me
I forgot....... promises, made by others can be easily broken. Fortunately these promises were NOT a matter of life and death.

209-365 Backstage
Setup for an Aerosmith concert. Been spending time producing and installing graphic displays for a number of different concert venues. I was given free tickets for tomorrow nights concert ( guess what I might be posting on 300/365?) Wish I was given free tickets to see Gang of Four instead.... "beggars can't be choosers"

208-365 An Artisan's Work
Screen printing has been around since the Egyptians. However, the commercial use of screen printing began in 1915 in San Francisco and Los Angeles. During the Arts and Crafts movement in California, commercial screen printing inventions and patents blossomed which changed the world and the way graphic arts was perceived and how new printing technology allowed mass distribution of short run, point of purchase posters and displays. This photo was taken at the last remaining (original) pioneer in the commercial screen printing industry. A company called Vitachrome now located in Santa Fe Springs, California. ( reference Guido Lengwiler SGIA SPT The History of Commerical Screen Printing 2009 )

Stooping to an all time low. Finding that daily shot is getting harder each day.
One can only roll their eyes and exclaim, "why is he staring at a wall?"

202-365 A Day of Printing
I have been working on developing the first completely degradeable rub-off decal transfer for casts (broken bones) and splints. Today we successfully completed a production run to be introduced shortly to the medical industry. Maybe I'll continue to have new projects and clients next year so I can buy more camera gear.

201-365 Bendy Man Kinda Ballet
My wife suggested we see the Los Angeles Ballet upon its return this summer. Once I found out the cost of the tickets I decided this as the closest I was going to come to witnessing a ballet.
I shot this picture for my betroved and suggested we could do shadow puppets to Sergei Rachmaninov's Rhapsody instead.
I was told dinner will be an "every-man-for-themselves-type-of-evening".

197-365 What Next? Public Beheadings?
The local city managers of my hometown provide me entertainment on the weekends. They allow public shootings, and, I understand, they are considering expanding to the city soccer field and will also expand their offerings to stonings and beheadings. Can't wait.

While dark cloud loom overhead, and temperatures climb into the 3 digit range, Paul tries to help Dan build a fence. Unfortunately, Paul is more of a hindrance to Dan and so, tensions rise.

186-365 Nesting
Taken only 15 inches away, Momma Bird invited me in for tea just after I took this picture.
188-365 Bath Time is Imminent
Upon returning from a two week getaway, we found Daddy's "companion of the field" had tangled with a skunk. She knew it was time for a bath and she simply resigned herself to her own doghouse..... And so, even after two baths (including "skunk off"), we all, as a family, enjoy the malodorous effects of play-time with Pepe Le Pew
187-365 State Liquor Store
The delivery entrance to a Utah State run liquor store in the old mining town of Magna, the home-town to Kennecott Copper Mine. (aka Bingham Canyon Mine) the largest man-made excavation in the world.) I guess a loading dock is not required for this store.
On my way home from two weeks of play.

183-365 Prairie Dogging
We are overrun by these little critters in our campsite high in the Uintah Mountains of Utah.. The Locals call them Pot-Guts, I think they look like ugly ground squirrels. None-the-less they seem to take all our garbage.

182-365 Barstow Yard
Traveling through Barstow I thought I'd travel back through the hey-day of route 66 and capture a "period" shot from the immense BNSF rail yard next to the Harvey House.
