“I’m walking around the port bow looking for some of the deck to splinter. The sea is rough and to the point. The wind is pendulating across the bow like a ball of cut grass, and smelling of old books.”

NOTE: This is a thought I found I had written from the deck of the Vincent-K during a trip with Jim Campbell to the Channel Islands. Jim is seen in the last image.

A natural model. Nice light. The images say the rest. The Central Coast is full of surprises.

Today is my brother’s birthday! This series represents a range of emotions for me. Since this is my brother I know most of the details of his life. That is an honor for me. I have had some of his closest friends tell me they wish they were him. I consider that to be a pretty good compliment. Brother Mike has been a constant source of inspiration for me through the years, and to watch him operate a backhoe…he’s very good. But then again, our dad taught him everything he knows. Thanks Mike for these great shots. If you need excavation service call Dominguez Excavation.

Imagine a scene where you are called to open a time capsule. Imagine that time capsule as a place to store awards, ribbons, trophies and gear. This is what happened to me when Jim Campbell invited me in to a secret room on the ranch he care-takes.
