Rickey Henderson in a Mariners uniform, looking quite puzzled.
Mariners photo day. Cole Young was repeatedly asked about shaving his mustache by fans, then made his way to my family where my son "challenged" him to match his 'stache. Selfie on the field, featuring my wife, Cole, and my son with his best Snidely Whiplash handlebar going on.
Juliooooooooooo seagull
Oregon's Haystack Rock framed in portrait mode. The rock and whispy clouds in the sky above are reflected in a very shallow layer of water on the beach.
A 1950s Superman single panel. Superman is talking to a group of high school kids. He says "Remember, boys and girls, your school - like our country - is made up of Americans of many different races, religions and national origins, so if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin - don't wait - tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN. Help keep your school ALL AMERICAN!
Text of a scam email offering membership in the Illuminati to me among the billions of citizens on this planet.
Dozens and dozens of tulips in bloom fill a flower bed. The bed is about two feet wide and about twenty feet long and there isn't room for another bulb. Yellow, red, mixed yellow and red, and mixed purple and white flowers - some single and some double. A green lawn is in front of the bed and a rock wall sits behind it.
The headline reads, "Former NFL Linebacker Dean Wells Dead at 54," with a picture from the TV medical drama "The Pitt."
Deep snow lines the creek above Narada Falls in Mt. Rainier National Park. The sky above is blue, with light whispy clouds. Evergreen trees frame the scene.
A Roadrunner walking towards the camera, caught midstride. The Roadrunner is very similar in color to the brown crushed rocks on the path it's crossing.
Taken in an industrial area, on a drawbridge, with angle iron structural supports everywhere - the picture is of a photographer lying on the sidewalk to get a better background of my son in one of his Senior photos. During this portion of the shoot, I was acting as lookout for traffic as the two of them stood on various parts of the bridge deck to get the best shots. The bridge is not heavily traveled at this time of day, but it is an active road. (The pictures on the bridge turned out great!)
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, taken from the city side. It's a sunny day with only a few whispy clouds in the sky.
A 9' Christmas tree, covered in white lights and ornaments collected over the last 30 years or so. Winnie the Pooh in an angel costume is the topper. The picture was taken late at night, and the only lighting in the room is from the tree.
The photo is taken looking down onto the peak a roof covered in black asphalt shingles. The shingles are covered in a thin layer of frost, turning them from black to white.
Photo of the Friday Harbor marina in the San Juan Islands in Washington State. The photo was taken just after sunset. The skies are blue with cotton candy pink cloud streaks. The pink is also reflected in the mirror like surface of the water. The marina is home to dozens of small pleasure craft, some sailboats and others motorboats.
A honu, or green sea turtle, begins to descend after surfacing for air. The honu is less than a foot underwater and it's shell is reflected on the water above. The honu is seen in profile view with both front flippers down at the bottom of their range of motion.
A photo taken on a sailboat under sail near the coast of Maui. The photo is very wide angle and was taken from mid-ship, looking straight up at the mast. The sail fills most of the frame, with the sun just peeking in through the top left side. The sky above is clear and brilliant blue. On the bottom of the frame a little of the ocean can be seen with Molokai and its omnipresent cloud cover in the distance.
A Mercedes (?) 4-door sedan wrapped in a black wrap with cream colored lines crossing in every direction. The wrap is to hide the actual appearance of the car, as this appears to be a prototype of a possible future car. There are no manufacturer badges visible. The wrap has a small label on the rear bumper and the passenger door that says "electrified," though the car also prominently features 4 exhaust tips and the engine rumbled and growled when started. The car is viewed from the passenger side rear, at about a 45 degree angle. It's in a parking lot, in front of a white fence. The sun is setting, casting long shadows across much of the car. The car looks to be like a midsized luxury sports sedan. Less than 30 seconds after the photo was taken the car left the site, having been stationary for only a few minutes.
A Washington State Ferry heading towards its Seattle dock on a clear and sunny late summer day. There are no clouds in the sky. The Space Needle is in the background behind the stern of the ferry, and the downtown Seattle skyline is aligned with the bow.
An open 4-square stainless steel waffle iron on a kitchen counter. This particular waffle iron is not quite as deep as a Belgian style, nor is it as shallow as the kind I grew up with and prefer - but don't know what to call.
The man, the myth, the legend, Steve Kornacki in 4 poses, all featuring a white dress shirt and tie. Today is the Day stands as text in the center.
A rainy fall day. The nearest trees still have leaves that are mostly green, with some yellow. The next closest tree is bright red. Trees behind are a variety of green, yellow, and various shades of red.
Tiananmen, the gate to Beijing's Forbidden City, was first built in 1420 and rebuilt several times since. It resembles the version from the mid-1600s today. Four red flags fly on each side of the building in a photo taken from the left, facing the building, at about a 45 degree angle.
Taken from the driver's seat of a truck, stopped in traffic, looking into the rear view mirror at cars lined up along a gently curving road. There are more than 20 cars and trucks waiting, but between the curve of the road and the convergence to the horizon, it's hard to count them all. There is no traffic in the opposite lane.
A lenticular cloud over Mt. Rainier.
A long line of people fill a walkway, many holding black umbrellas provided to block the sun, waiting for Barrio Bread ARTisan Breads to open in Tucson, AZ.
Grey, cement, square archways leading the eye towards the ocean, with small waves breaking against the posts closest to shore.
