Cool thing #12 about being unemployed; I can actually focus on me, more specifically promoting me. I always wanted to see where my dabbling with paint could take me. Today I spent the afternoon working on promotional outlets to get the word out about my paintings in hopes of getting a solo art show somewhere. I photographed the entire collection, designed and laid out some promotional postcards and set up a Facebook page just for my paintings. In doing so I got to brush up on my rather stale HTML skills and learn alittle FBML. Lemme know what you think. Or better yet check me out on Facebook here!

Cool thing #12 about being unemployed; being able to get lost and wander. The idea was to take a quick little walk before breakfast-- nothing too serious, just something to stretch the legs and work up an appetite. We set out at oh-dark-thirty for the hills above Ojai. 15 miles, 9 hours, and 4 tic bites later my "breakfast" walk was done and done. When you don't have anywhere in particular to be, I suppose lost isn't really lost.

First time shooting surfing. Obviously I wont be showing up on any Surfer mag covers. I have quite a bit to learn and a bit to go before I shake the dust off of shooting action sports.

Cool thing #54 about being unemployed; catching a winters sunset live and in person down on the beach instead of tucked away in an cubicle in a non-descript office building. Winter sunsets around these parts are pretty majestic. Its really the only time we have clouds in the sky. Usually in the winter I would be stuck w/ my nose in a pile of spreadsheets looking for coversheets for my TPS reports. The sun would usually be down before quitting time and the splendor would be missed entirely. Not so anymore!

Eleven miles of the raddest green rolling hills, jagged mountain ridges, ocean views, great company, and boxed wine! Not bad for a Wednesday.

Photo doesn't do it justice.

Last house on the block.

Cool thing #18 about being unemployed; being able to great the sunrise with a warm mug of tea and a Dominican cigar w/o being hurried or worried about being late to work. Totally worth it.





Good morning Ventuckey.
