This is a chair I designed and fabricated for a furniture design class at Penn in Spring 2012. I am pretty pleased with the result.

Vineyard. Margaret River, Western Oz. 2009.

When mentioning Margaret River, most people think of one of two things: surfing or wine. Not a bad combo to have a reputation built on.

Photoset: From Sea to Conveyor. Hong Kong. 2009.

I found both of the activities going on in these two photos fascinating. The first is of fishing boats that are selling fresh fish to patrons who lean over from the dock 15 feet above the boats. Each boat as a terrace made from randomly shaped and sized buckets with strategic holes placed in them that allows water flowing from a hose at the top to trickle down each level and circulate fresh water to the fish in the boat. I doubt the water in this bay in Hong Kong was “fresh” though. The second picture shows a conveyor belt of sushi, priced by the color of plate it was on. Like some places in the US, patrons go up and grab whatever items they want and settle up at the end. What made this interesting was the sheer functionality of the process; this was not a 4 star restaurant… this was a fast food sushi joint, with people running into a packed seating area, pounding four plates of sushi, and running out 5 minutes later.

The Shack. Long Beach Island, NJ. 2009.

For those who know The Shack, it needs no introduction. For those unfamiliar, it’s quite hard to introduce properly. Thousands know this shack as the slowly deteriorating house in the wetlands on the south side of the causeway as you drive onto Long Beach Island. For many of us, this shack meant that we were close… we could taste the salty air, and almost hear the waves crashing on the beach. It’s a sight that has followed many from childhood and their earliest memories through to adulthood, allowing them to show it to children of their own. It’s The Shack…. savetheshack.com

Soundboard. WQHS Studio, Philadelphia, PA. 2009.

This has been a hectic and busy couple weeks and I dropped the ball on my daily postings. So I am making up for it tonight with a couple new shots from all over time and space.

This was late one night in the station not long before my last show as a DJ for WQHS (Penn’s finest student radio station). I took a couple shots to remember the good times and late nights. Here’s one.

Sandpiper. Nosara, Costa Rica. 2009.

Everyday around noon, the winds in Costa Rica turn around and start blowing hard onshore, turning typical glassy conditions into slop. The sandpipers don’t really mind it though.

Dave Eisner. WQHS Studio, Philadelphia, PA. 2009.

For a couple years, a friend of mine and I had a student radio station at WQHS at Penn. We did a couple fun things to boost our listener count, one of which was bring in a friend of our to play a set live over the air. Dave is a super talented guy and put on a great show that late night.
