My room at 6080 Mt. Aguilar Dr:

One of my preferred "offices" at UCSD:

Cool cloud sighted while hiking at a regional park:

Hillcrest sign:

Late night coffee in Kensington on Adams Avenue. This place is way more laid back than Lestat's. Lestat's is hip and indie and goth and gay and has a crowd milling about at all hours. Kensington Coffe is just guys hanging out in the evening.

The only way home is via Interstate highway.

Sweet pics! How did you get the car lights to do that effect in "The only way home is via Interstate highway."

it's a four second exposure

the main secret is to have a tripod. (-:

would you by chance know if digi cameras have this four second exposure setting? i have a canon a70 and a canon 35mm rebel g

yeah, some do. These pictures are all from a Kodak DX6340.. there's a manual setting that lets you choose the aperture and exposure duration.

for some general info on these settings: http://splorg.org/people/tobin/papers/photography.html

OOOOhhhhh I am sooo La Jolla/Del Mar Sick.
That was my second favourite office. (If I wanted to get work done.) My favorite office downstairs at the Grove.

Is the Library Coffee shop in Hillcrest still there?

hey tobin. i don't think you know me but we went to high school together. I came across your site throught researching the san juan hot springs of all things. i found some old matchbooks from it in the garage and wanted to see about exploring the old place. Looks like someone beat me to the punch.

Anyway, sorry about messing with your .bat files in the computer lab haha.
