the beat goes on....

The concept has evolved. (See previous post)
We even used some images I took out at Bodega Head, where 20 foot walls of surf were pounding the cliffs.

The end result seems to work with Jim's theme and I'm happy with the visuals.

Hey, as one of the potential titles proclaimed, we're 'Stoked For Jazz'!

work in progress

I'll be collaborating on the CD cover for Jim Adams' new release. This is just something I conjured up in anticipation of my session with him.

The composite is from our earlier studio shoot with a backdrop from a Costa Rica trip I took. Jim, being an avid waterman, said he wants a surf vibe. The title is one that I'm told fellow surfer, Doug likes and I can dig it! So, I went off with the surf journey theme.... Hey I could even use one of those myself.

See Walls

After hibernating amid endless rain, the sun finally returned last week! And the Pacific provided waves to complement the bright crisp winter weather. After my surf session last Wednesday afternoon, I just wanted to linger and soak it in. So, I grabbed my camera to capture the rich color of the graffiti covered sea walls, bathed in the brilliant afternoon sunlight! Queue up the ELO!



Combining graffiti with the classic background sounds of Electric Light Orchestra, PaintCan Jam 2 will draw you in and stimulate your senses. -The Hurdy Gurdy

Hey Hurdy Gurdy Man

The hurdy gurdy (also known as a wheel fiddle) is a stringed musical instrument that produces sound by a crank-turned rosined wheel rubbing against the strings.

The Hurdy Gurdy is also a platform to share and discover new music.



Though hurdy gurdies originated from medieval fiddles, this website is utterly new and cutting edge. You'll find it to be a resource for the latest music with a wealth of information about the artists behind the tunes. It's loaded with links, download sites, song samples, photos, anecdotes and video clips. And it just happens to be authored by my son, Garrett.

You'll find the alternative and the esoteric.....so check it out at at: The Hurdy Gurdy

They're Baaack!

Seriously..... what's their deal?!
