This photo won first place at a photo competition at the Antioch Lone Tree Golf Course. The Antioch Golf course is a bit of treasure for Antioch out in the hot California sun. So nice next to reservoir, it’s a relief in the evening as the sun starts to set.
My class is getting close!
The day is getting closer for when I teach a web design class at Los Medanos College. Here is part of a screenshot of a poster I just made to advertise it to the campus. Open registration starts August 1st.
For the icons I used FontAwesome. If you don’t know what that is then sign up for my class and you’ll find out how to use them in both print and web design! 🙂
The details!
Be in control! Design, build & upload a website from scratch.
It doesn’t matter if you are going to be full-fledged web developer
or hire another developer to build a website for you this course
will give you the skills you need to be a well rounded designer and an effective communicator.
No previous experience is required to get the competitive edge!

Bats about Adobe?
I just signed up for a new micro stock place called Fotolia which supplies the stock images for the images available to Creative Cloud members using the Adobe products. It’s a subscription based service much like Shutterstock but the assets are easily maintained through the cloud membership.
I have to say since they liked my chibat photo I kinda like them too! They accepted this and few other photos that I submitted as well. Click to visit the gallery if you want to see more.
Just saw my happy grad
I was visiting the state chancellors website for some information and was greeted with one of my images from this last graduation on their home page. I thought it was cool too 🙂
Plant photos added to stock
Just got a couple more images approved for sale in my Shutterstock account under plants. The bottle gourd I actually grew myself. I was quite proud of it actually since dealing with the aphids and powdery mildew (here I blog about that) was a LOT of work.
The elephant ear I wish was my plant but it was taken in a greenhouse in Golden Gate Park. It was pretty humid in there. I took the picture and then want bursting out so I could breath!
Color from the garden
It’s been a while since I posted anything to do with my garden. It’s been a little unloved lately but I was pleased it gave me this little harvest. I was testing one of my flash heads and noticed this palette of earthy colors pegging to be photographed.

If you’ve never been inside the Antioch Historical Museum it’s a really fun place to wander around especially if you are from Antioch. There is so much history of the culture throughout the years with newspaper clippings, old advertisements and sports memorabilia. You can read more about the old school building here  http://www.art4antioch.org/ahs.asp
