Los Skarnales played what has been billed as their “final performance” last night at the Continental Club.
That band is going to be sorely missed.
Perspective
I’ve been percolating this one in my mind for awhile. I wanted to play with perspective and thought that posing toy tractors moving pocket sized items would be fun.
I learned alot about using f-stops to give the illusion of size and distance.

Got behind the bar at The Big Top and shot this one.
That’s Big E (Continental Club door man), Nick Gaitan (bass player for Los Skarnales) and in the background is Nick’s sister Gina and his father.
I R professional picture taker
I’ve had some photographs hanging at Sig’s Lagoon for about a year now. Informally for sale, mostly for display, plus I think Thomas has been humoring me. Nothing ever sold.
One of my pictures got snatched up by my friend Jim Henkel as a last minute white elephant gift for the Continental Club company xmas party last year. It was a shot of Landis Armstrong and I think David Beebe has it now.
Thomas gave me a credit in the store for letting it walk out but I waived it off since it was for a good cause.
One of the first good shots I took with the new Sony Alpha 100 was this one of Dave Alvin at the Continental Club a few weeks ago:

I had a print made and framed it and put it up at Sig’s on a whim.
I just got an e-mail from Thomas telling me that someone came in the shop, saw the picture, commented on the quality and purchased it.
I really just do this for fun. I don’t have the expectation that I am going to make my living off of photography or anything. Sure, I have had some of my pictures used on band web sites in exchange for credit back to my site. All in all, it’s just a fun hobby.
But still…
I sold a picture!
