Spent the last 5 months writing a play—Tale of a Barfly. It went up to a sold out house.

Logline: A privileged woman loses access to her fortune and learns to bartend in search of “real life.” A parable about authenticity in an age of performance.

Solhouetted hills under a cloudy blue sky. One of the cumulus clouds is blocking the sun effecting sun rays in all directions. If you put a biblical quote at the bottom it would be tragic relgious propaganda. But it’s not, just a fab scene from a hike.

Looking at Mt. Tamalpais from the east bay on a chilly night.
In the foreground the white dots of city lights at dusk. In distance the San Francisco bay is silver sliver on the way Mount Tamslpais in Marin. The scene occupies the lower third of the frame. The upper two thirds is the orange to blue gradient of dusk.

A very young girl holds an antique camera to her eye to take a picture. Her eye is dead center in the view finder square.

A dark, moody, low angle image looking out from shore toward a mountains across the San Francisco bay. It's low tide so the sand is striated. Dark clouds fill the top of the frame.

Dimly lit, wind bent tall grass in the forground, silhouetted mid hills span midframe. Colors of a post sunset sky fades from orange above the hills to night blue through the top of the frame.

Misty blue bay.
A picture of a bay inlet in the fog. Silhouetted in the foreground, reeds grow out of the water. In the back two hills, also silhouetted, form the inlet. The fog casts an eerie blue tone over the whole image.

A river of fog.
From about 200 feet up, hiking on a fire road looking down into a valey—a layer of so thick it looks like a river. Above the fog the pinks of sunset reflect on clouds above the top of the tops of the hills not surrounded by the fog.

Oh la la
A Brussels bakery window at night. We see waffles, doughnuts, and other baked confections arranged on individual trays in the lower half of the frame. The trays reflect blue and pink colors of neon signs. The main sign in blue spanning the window reads “Happy Dick.” A much smaller pink neon sign under the CK of the main sign reads “Oh la la.” On the left side of the window a blackboard has coffee drink prices written in chalk. Seeing through window into the shop a black man, wearing a red apron over a black hoody, smiles as he makes a waffle.

I'm not what you would call a morning person. But sometimes I am indeed up and out before dawn. That's me crossing the Richmond bridge, the sunrise behind me.
An image looking past a rearview mirror through the windshield of a car as it crosses the Richmond bridge in California. The rearview mirror as the sunrise shining the through the rear window of the car reflected in it.

On overpass angle down on two lanes of traffic just outside a tunnel at night. It is the Little Ring in Brussels, Belgium. The cars just a little motion blurred.

#WeekSForSquares

Every square tells a story.
In the New York subway looking across the tracks through pillars. The pillars visually divide the other platform into four squares each looking like a different scene. In the square third from the right, in the right third of frame, a couple is in an embrace and kiss.

A handheld Chinese flag is stuck in locked gate in a doorway at night. The flag is illuminated by a meecury vapor street light giving the scene an eerie feel.
