Mark your calendars for a day celebrating community artistic expression at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park on September 30. All Bay Area residents enter free. I’m so very happy to have my slice-of-life photograph, titled What it Says, wild art in the time of covid, included in the 2023 de Young Museum Open Call. The photograph taken downtown on Market Street celebrates 50 years of Hip-Hop music and heralds San Francisco as a birthplace of music and musicians who have long called the city by the bay their home. The exhibition runs from 30 September till 7 January, 2024. Hope to see you there.





A crow nestles in a blooming Century plant. The tall yellow flowers may reach a height of 25-30 feet. The plant native to California is also known as an Agave and Agave Americana.

Cycling along the beach today, I saw this scene of young women playing volleyball in their bonnets and long dresses. My hands had put on the brakes before I could think. I especially love the top image, it is almost painterly. The dresses speak of another era in the present. A bit of brain blip – from another era today, hopefully back tomorrow.
