It has been my habit to process my photography and prepare blog posts while chatting online with friends.  Multitasking being what it is, that means I often grow silent for long stretches only to chime in unexpectedly.

One of my friends remarked that the behavior reminded him of the Dormouse at the Mad Hatter's Tea-Party from Alice in Wonderland, who always seemed to wake up with something interesting to say.

Now in my early seventies, I was a long time resident of San Francisco. Most of my photos are from there, I am strictly a hobbyist but enjoy architecture and florals.

Recently I have moved across the Bay to nearby Walnut Creek. Other responsibilities have kept me from doing much photography and from attending to this blog for quite a while. I now have more leisure to do both and hope to have new material to offer soon.
