Walter Trout used to jam in Huntington Till the condos went up And Golden Bear went down Don't try to tell me there's nothing wrong Sounds across paved grass Where's Bolsa Chica Among the yuppie flats? There's nothing going on down there It's not where it's at "Walter Trout" by Ces Jacuzzi, 1998 Read Full Story
One of my favorite sensations... Being slightly sunburned - just arms, upper back and shoulders, and maybe a little on the cheeks - and then that same night, letting a chilly summer evening breeze blow across my hot skin, and give me shivers. It's bliss. I also love laying in the sun, at the beach, on a towel on the sand, and letting the sun bake down. Not for long, but for a few brief minutes, how much damage can you do? I actually love the way my pale skin looks - I'm one of those rare... Read Full Story
I love it when people send me fun stuff! This just came into my mailbox, and it's super cool - and not just because the ad features one of my images!
The twisted "Trees" illustration is beyond cool - loved it since I first saw it - and it's a perfect fit with silver. I LOVE this necklace! And it's for a good cause as well - the world needs more trees.

So much to say, and so little time!
First, I'm moving! It's time. I love Fallbrook, but I belong in Los Angeles - at least for now - so I'm packing and I'll be there by the end of this month. Change can be tough, scary, and all that jazz, but sometimes it just feels so right, that none of the negatives apply. This move feels RIGHT.
Second, I did a big session a couple of weeks ago, and I think the first images may be debuting soon. It was a lot of fun, and the images are really... Read Full Story

Has anyone seen Sex and the City yet? LOVED IT! And INXS makes an appearance! When Carrie is cleaning out her closet, she starts with a dress from the 80's, so of course they put on music from the 80's, and right on top of the CD player is INXS' Kick. I wished they'd played that instead of Aerosmith's Walk this Way, but still it was fun to see! And yeah, the one 80's CD I had in my collection - pre-Rock Star was INXS - they're the only band from that era that I was still listening to after... Read Full Story
Everything about today was unexpected, and yet wonderful. It started with the light. Earlier in the week it was super hot and the light was bright and summery. Then yesterday it was a little cooler and the wind started to blow, and the light was softer. By this morning, the sky was completely gray, and it was almost chilly. Very odd. But the light wasn't all that soft - instead it was the rare combination of dark and bright all at once - the light you get right before a thunderstorm. I got... Read Full Story
When I lived in downtown Riverside in 1999, one of my neighbors mentioned that if you walked up our street - Ninth Street - you could walk all the way up Mount Rubidoux. And she told me they held Easter Services there. But I never actually walked the two blocks up to the entrance - I drove by it - but never made the walk. The plaque in the gate at the entrance to the park. Frank Miller was the owner of the Mission Inn during it's heydey - he took the Inn from a local boarding house, to a... Read Full Story
I've had a thing for downtown Riverside for years. I've always loved little old houses, and streets with lots of old houses are just heaven for me. But I'd never seen so many old houses, in such good condition until I found Riverside. In 1885, Riverside California had the highest per capita income of any city in the United States because of the orange groves. And a lot of the houses built in that era still exist - huge Victorians on tiny city lots, with no backyards, but big trees in... Read Full Story
