Another one of my favorite old Route 66 neon signs. Side note: after years of Sunday morning cartoons, I was not prepared for how small real roadrunners actually are. #travel #roadtrip #california #cali #socal #southwest #photography #canon #route66 #neon #neonsign #roadrunner

One of my favorite old neon signs from Route 66– unfortunately, I’ve never seen the place open. #photography #canon #travel #california #southwest #roadtrip #route66 #neon #neonsigns #art #history #socal #cali

Looking up inside the Old Town Hall clock tower, in Prague, Czech Republic. I really liked the organic/ futuristic design of the lift structure running up the center. Felt very scifi. #travel #photography #europe #canon #czechrepublic #prague #architecture #canon #scifi #history #historical

Night photo of the Prague Astronomical Clock, on the Old Town Hall clock tower. This was definitely one of my favorite bits of architecture in Prague, and that’s some steep competition. #travel #photography #prague #czechrepublic #europe #architecture #history #canon

More interior photos of the beautiful stained glass windows at Chartres Cathedral, in France. These two are from Bay 45 and 43. #photography #canon #travel #france #chartres #cathedral #europe #art #medieval #stainedglass #blue #chartresblue #history

Interior photo of one of the main stained glass windows at Chartres Cathedral, in France. It’s almost impossible to fathom the age of this window. #travel #photography #france #europe #canon #architecture #art #stainedglass #chartres #blue #medieval

Exterior details from the front stained glass window at Chartres Cathedral, in France. One of the most magnificent things I’ve ever seen. #travel #art #photography #france #europe #chartres #cathedral #stainedglass #medieval #canon

More images of St. Thomas Church, in Leipzig, Germany. Definitely one of those unexpected finds during that trip. #travel #photography #canon #germany #europe #leipzig #bach #church #classical #symphony #historical

Looking up at the incredible ceiling of St. Thomas Church, in Leipzig, Germany. Host to some incredible people over the years, I was really lucky to see it with myself. #travel #photography #canon #germany #leipzig #bach #architecture #Europe

Some more shots from Volcan Pacaya, in Guatemala: #travel #photography #guatemala #volcano #geology #canon #explore #centralamerica

I have always liked this shot, taken on Volcan Pacaya, in 2007. It was one of those unexpected goodies I found in the camera after getting back to the boat the next day. #travel #photography #canon #guatemala #volcano #adventure #hiking #centralamerica #pacaya

One of my favorite flower pictures: #flowers #flower #plants #photography #macro #dewdrops #canon #dslr #yellow #nature #smallthings #water #waterdrops

My two favorite shots of the Chrysler Building, taken from the Hotel New Yorker and the Empire State Building. #travel #architecture #photograohy #canon #newyork #nyc #Chryslerbuilding #manhattan

More from Zion National Park, in Utah. Love the southwest. #travel #photography #southwest #utah #nationalparks #canon #nature

Looking up, at Zion national park— this was one of those spots that flew under the radar for me, and absolutely amazed me once I saw it in person! #travel #photography #southwest #utah #canon #mountains #nationalparks

Gentle reminder that you don't have to "deserve" rest.🌱 You need rest to function. It's not a treat you get for functioning.

When you’re at work and find a hand-drawn NCC 1701 on the map. There’s Trekkies here somewhere, but where? #startrek #trekkie #scifi #ncc1701

I remember being really taken in by the the Singapore waterfront along the river. At the time I had never seen such an intense contrast between new and old architecture. #Singapore #asia #photographer #architecture #travel #kodak #urban

It’s been almost twenty years, and I’m wondering if this incredible library is still there, because I know that Singapore has changed dramatically since ‘06. #travel #photography #kodak #singapore #architecture #urban #asia #night #city

Why was Data’s head such a potent trap that it needed a sequel, and then an animated reboot? #startrek #trekkie #trektalk #startrektng #data

Morning commute, shipyard edition. #shipyard #photography #blackandwhite #canon #silhouette #bluecollar #maritime

And another picture from the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. Unfortunately this was almost 20 years ago and I literally printed out most of the pictures before deleting them from the camera. So, only a few exist digitally. #travel #photography #thailand #kodak #asia #architecture

Even from a distance, and while moving, the details of the architecture were apparent. Picture of Wat Arun, Temple of the Dawn, in Bangkok, Thailand. #travel #photography #Kodak #Thailand #bangkok #architecture

84 years. Thinking about all of those quiet Sundays on duty and one that changed so much for so many a whole lifetime ago at this point.

Photos of Saint John’s Co-Cathedral, in Malta. An incredible place, and definitely worth the visit if you’re into unique cultural architecture and art. p.s. sorry about the white balance in the last one. 😬😬😬 #travel #photography #malta #canon #europe #Mediterranean #art #architecture

Why do we ever see Data holding a non-medical Tricorder in Star Trek? What can that thing really detect that we haven’t seen him detect using his own installed sensors and equipment? Maybe he just liked holding the props. #startrek #data #trekkie #trektalk #commanderdata

I can’t quite decide why, but of all the macro-flower pictures I’ve taken, this is my favorite. Taken in Redwoods National Park. #photography #canon #macro #flowers #redwoodsnationalpark #plants #orange

When you’re taking a photo of the ship’s sails at night and get photobombed by a star capturing the ships pitch & roll. Bonus points if the star draws a star! #photography #canon #timelapse #stars #sky #night #ships #sailing #photobombed #coastie #eagle

Flash back to one of the most Christmas(e) Christmases I’ve ever experienced, during an unusually cold December in Prague, Czech Republic. We were told it wasn’t normal to get actual snow there on Christmas. Glad to experience the exception. #travel #photography #canon #europe #prague #xmas

Kodiak island, in the summer, is one of those almost unimaginably lush places. And it a weird way, really reminded me of Hawaii— not just because it’s an island. #alaska #kodiak #photography #nature #travel #islands #lush

When you’re hanging out alone on the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower for 45 min and the attendant has to come and stop your night photo reverie. Off season travel for the win. #paris #photography #europe #canon #france #eiffeltower

As part of my ongoing mission to post more old photos, that have been collecting dust in my computer: Black and white photo from Dresden, Germany. Which is a really great city, btw. #photography #germany #europe #canon #travel #blackandwhite #dresden

Cool moonrise/ sunset over the high desert tonight. Kinda missing my old 70-300mm lens right about now. #photography #canon #moon #desert #sky #sunset #moonrise

Probably my favorite picture of the Coit Tower, in San Francisco, CA. #photography #kodak #blackandwhite #sf #bayarea #cali #sanfran #architecture #california

Throw back to my b&w photography phase. Point Reyes and Bodega Bay edition. For years, we spent almost every weekend running around up there. Always stopped at Valley Ford for lunch. #photography #canon #california #travel #blackandwhite #marin #cali #norcal #pointreyes #bodegabay #westcoast

When you order replicated apples in Star Trek, are they all the same exact one, or is there a variety? And do they leave a few bad ones in there just to keep it realistic, or have they gotten rid of bad apples in the Federation? #startrek #trekkie #treksky #trektalk #starfleet #badapples

Speaking of panorama photos- here’s one I attempted the old fashion way, before smartphones. Taken while we were anchored out in Cabo, at the end of a busy patrol. #photography #kodak #panorama #mexico #cabo #maritime #coastie #travel #latinamerica

There was a time when I was almost completely obsessed with making these panorama photos. What started as a fun scotch tape experiment eventually consumed countless gigabytes on my computers. This one is from Split, Croatia— an incredible city! #travel #photography #croatia #europe #Mediterranean

Recently found an old philosophy project I did in college. The prompt was to prove, one way or the other, that computers can ‘think.’ I used these two line drawings to show that even a simple smart phone (2014) was capable of thinking (1/2). #ai #philosophy #college #computers #machinelearning

We hadn’t really planned to go to White Sands National Park, but it just kind of worked out that way. Really amazing place, especially in the dead of winter, when it’s not crowded. #photography #travel #whitesands #nps #newmexico #southwest #canon #desert

One of my favorite small towns in Germany, Meerane. Went there for a wedding a while ago and had an amazing experience. They definitely do weddings right in that town! #germany #travel #photography #canon #blackandwhite #europe #architecture #meerane #saxony

One of my favorite museum ships in the world is the Hercules. Such an incredible and well preserved tug, which I’ve been lucky enough to work on and see the boilers fired off. #photography #museum #ships #shipspotting #sanfrancisco #nps #hercules

At this point I’ve been to a fair amount of cathedrals, and Chartres, in France, ranks amongst the coolest and most unique. #photography #france #canon #chartres #europe #travel #architecture

Now that it’s truly the season- some old photos from the most Christmas(y) Christmas I’ve ever experienced, during an unusually cold and snowy trip to Prague. #travel #photography #canon #prague #christmas #europe #winter

Trading Places still holds up. Wonder if they will do a remake with tech VCs.

It’s been a while since I intentionally took black and white photos- feel like our trip to Malta was right around the peak of that photographic phase for me— see below evidence of this: #malta #travel #photography #canon #europe #Mediterranean

I know it wasn’t popular at the time of its construction, but I love the lattice work of the Eiffel Tower. Especially when looking up from the bottom, it almost looks like a sort of space station. #paris #travel #photograpy ##canon #europe #architecture #eiffeltower

Do temporal agents in Star Trek return home to their native time at the end of each shift, or do they stick around in the past till a mission is done? And do they go back to the future a proportional amount of time later so they age in sync with their peers? #startrek #trekkie #trektalk
