goldenmoon > July 3 - third submission of today, I took this shot, trying to duplicate  the classic 'lone tree'.  I like that as I was prepping for the shot, a flock of blackbirds flew out in front.
goldenmoon > September 19 - STEP OUT TO FIGHT DIABETES - As many of you know, my son has type 1 diabetes.  Many of you also know that we are going to be participating in this year's Diabetes walk, sponsored by the American Diabetes Assosiation.  What many of you do not know is this...

When we formed our walk team, I registered under the name, "GoldenMoon Photography".  The ADA Walk Director for our area, looked at the teams she had registered and gave me a call saying that she needed a someone to be the "official event photographer"...I was honored, even after she said the next alternative was her 15 year old daughter haha.

When the Walk director reviewed this site, she saw my previous diabetes image and asked if she could use it....we (Kristie and I) suggested I create a new one.  She is looking for a shot that can be used for fund raising...this will be displayed at events for fundraising and educational purposes.  Please review the shot and let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!

goldenmoon > September 3 - REALLY BAD HAIR DAY - Ok, I need some serious help with a good caption for this ugly bird....it is a Rhea, and per Wikipedia, "Rhea are farmed in North America and Europe (as are the Emu and the Ostrich). While the main produce are meat and eggs, rhea oil is also used for cosmetics and soaps."  All I know is that this is one of the ugliest animals I have encountered.  Enjoy!
goldenmoon > March 1 - ALMOND BLOSSOM! - Here in the Manteca area, we are surrounded by beautiful almond blossomms.  I took this shot this morning in an orchard near the Delicato vinyards.  Thoughts?
goldenmoon > Visited my aunt and uncle in Monterey today...of all the great opportunities in Monterey, including the Scottish and Celtic Festival, I liked this shot of the wall near the front of thier home the best.
goldenmoon > June 18 - SAKE! "Eternal joy and fragrance of the Lotus flower"
goldenmoon > September 15 - SLEEP STUDY - Apparently sleep apnia has decided to land in my house...but to be sure, my doctor thought it would be best to torture me for a night. This experience started last night at 9pm when I arrived at the sleep study clinic. There was a nice, but very pregnant technician who walked me through the process and put more wires on me than my PC has in it.  When she attached sensors to my legs, she had to sit on the floor, she could not get up without help...I was worried she was going to go into labor while I was strapped to the bed or something...

She hooked three sensors to my scalp, into my hair, with a waxy adhesive that was easily removed with only three repeates of shampoo...Clearly several sensors on my face...

The most annoying, I think, was the nasal sensor, two wire thingies poking into my nostrils, tickling the sensitive hairs...makes it hard to fall to sleep...

Oh, yeah, the sensors on my chest were fun! I have used soap, rubbing alchohol, and am considering sand paper...as of now I still have circular marks and a a tacky adhesive that pulls my hair...fun fun!

Bottom line, it was not all that bad...I did it on a Friday night so I could sleep the folowing day, which I did...the technician is still pregnant and did not go into labor, thank God! Looks like I will need to get a CPAP machine (blows air into my mouth and nose while I sleep) to keep me breathing at night....is this preventable, yes! I need to lose weight...

Take care of yourselves!!
goldenmoon > March 23 - Edited - Thanks to Rick and the other comments about the horizon being off in the original shot and the thoughts on cropping the lower right corner - please take a look and let me know your thoughts on this one!

We visited San Francisco yesterday and stopped off at Treasure Island on the way back...searched around for several places to shoot the city lights and liked this one the best...thoughts?
goldenmoon > July 15 - Cruising up and down the coast near Monterey CA this weekend.  Came across this old lighthouse that is still in operation.  The keepers have to crank the light like a grandfather clock every five hours to ensure it keeps flashing in the correct pattern...no rest for the weary around here!
July 3 - third submission of today, I took this shot, trying to duplicate the classic 'lone tree'. I like that as I was prepping for the shot, a flock of blackbirds flew out in front.
