Welcome to the World My Beautiful Boy
Today I’m celebrating the arrival of my son, Ory Tabor Crisafulli. This little guy arrived on January 10th, and has since not failed to make me proud every moment since. It’s amazing but I already love him terribly. Happy birthday, young man. Happy birthday. It was the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my [...]
Turkey, Spain and Portugal in HDR by Anil Polat
I have some good friends carving out niches in the relatively new field of travel blogging, and as I keep a watch, their writing skills evolve. I also see them sharpening other native talents as they venture off to distant lands. Anil Polat, the proprietor of the great travel blog FoxNomad, is on a quest [...]
The Quick Look – Estació de França Train Station
Even with all its issues, its overpriced beer, dramatic unpredictable economics and its on again off again romance with the tabloids, I do love me some Europe. The legacy of its history makes it fabulously photogenic and those that are keen enough with the lens know just how to make it timeless. I’m in an [...]
Website Spotlight – Lost in the 415
At the risk of getting too San Francisco (I’ve posted three SF-centric posts this month, eep) I would like to present a blog I’ve been liking. It’s oh so small which is half the reason I like it. Lost in the 415 is one person’s take on the fabulous City by the Bay and her [...]
High Dynamic in Golden Gate Park

Scenes from a Classic Car Show, Alameda, California

This past weekend in Alameda, California, the main street, in this case Park Street, was transformed into a gearhead’s paradise, the 18th Annual Cranker’s Car Club Park Street Classic Car Show where several hundred very [...]
The Listening Ears of Dungeness
After World War I things were still pretty dodgy in Europe. It was supposedly the war to end wars, but due to acts of aggression and a series of chain reactions there was much preparation for more of the same. On the Dungeness headland at Denge at the very southeastern coast of England sits one [...]
Cartegena on a Buzz – photo find of the day
Cartagena is a travelers’ city. When you step off the plane, the heat instantly puts your brain stem in the microwave, but stepping into the Old Town you realize exactly what you took that plane ride for. The city opens you up, devours you. It promises you a sensual rendezvous with the exotic, dances with [...]
