Some evenings have an almost magical glow.
Difficult to capture but I'm going to keep on trying.

Best coffee on campus? Try Mikael Ottosson's office...


Two weeks research on sites like wholelattelove.com and some serious $$$ resulted in what you see above. The white board now has some very important info on different beans and grinder settings.

Check out the fridge under the desk:-)

Blurb your own book!

If you own a Mac then you've been able to do photo books for a long time with iPhoto. PC users can now use Blurb to do their own photo books.

Check out Blurb at http://www.blurb.com/!

I have yet to try it (the Mac version) but it looks promising.

Books starts at less than $20.

Cowboys and Native Americans...

Went to see a Powwow and a Rodeo this last summer.

The Powwow is held every year in Palo Alto at the Stanford campus. This was my first visit. The Rodeo is also a yearly event arranged at Driscoll Ranches almost down by the Pacific Ocean on Highway 84. Maybe 45 minutes drive from Palo Alto over the mountains.

Two heroes, Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Browne

Lake Mono

A few weeks ago I signed up for a photo workshop at Lake Mono. It was here, just east of Yosemite, that Ansel Adams lived and worked for more than 30 years. His grand daughter now runs the Mono Inn Restaurant just by the lake.

This is a beautiful place and I will surely go back as most people I talked seemed to do.



This is just a first batch of pictures all (click on the image for more...) taken on the Friday afternoon/evening when we arrived after a 6 hours drive over the Sierras and through Yosemite.

I will upload the rest in the next couple of days...
