Now, that is an unusual treestump… Found at the San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens at El Chorro Regional Park.

Sadly, Jim’s Campus Camera closed early last year, but today I discovered that it still leaves its mark in the back alley ways of downtown.

No, I didn’t actually go spelunking today… This was taken at the SLO Children’s Museum.

Westley got his first haircut today and I was along to help document the occasion. It went pretty great, except that Westley was not on-board with wearing the cape. Oh well.

The barber was pretty great and a lot of fun. The shop itself is part of the men’s section of the Hepkat store in downtown San Luis Obispo, and it’s got a pretty retro 50’s (mixed with rockabilly) style to it. So of course, I had to do the photo with my very retro Fuji X100S.

One of the greatest things about always seeking out new photos is that there’s a greater chance in finding (and being interested in) weird stuff like this. Why are these carts positioned this way? I don’t know, but it sure is interesting…

Hyperion Hoop Photoshoot

This past Sunday, I was doing some still photography during an instructional and demonstration video shoot for my friend Scott’s Hyperion Hoop (a programmable LED hula hoop) product. It’s pretty damn slick and the effects the hoops can do are quite amazing, especially when in the hands of some skilled hoopers like Gina, Ash, and Cailin.

I just delivered a large batch of shots yesterday, but I’ve included a few of my favorites throughout this blog post. Enjoy!

It was the style of this building, contrasted against the sky, that drew me towards photographing it. Taken during afternoon walk with Fuji X100S and processed in Adobe Lightroom.
