Dangle

"Alternate angle to your dangle"  - Joe Flaherty

          Joe Flaherty shot a photo of me smithing off this quarter pipe a coupla weeks back.  It came out pretty rad and I am really stoked to have images of this thing that has brought me so much (everything) over the last 30+ years.  I've never been all that good so photos are few and far between. Thanks to my good buddy Joe for his willingness to point the camera in my direction.

This image was shot at Seattle's very own Green Lake Park using a Fuji X-Pro-1 mirrorless digital "rangefinder," UV filter and a sturdy tripod.  Green Lake Park is is one of those places that makes you feel lucky to live in Seattle.  Just 10 minutes from home, it houses my favorite skatepark, a 5K running trail (around the lake, duh), swimming, a dog park and if you're so inclined a nifty pitch-n-putt. I've had so many good times here over the years. 

Before I landed in Seattle I never really felt like I was in the right place. San Jose felt right for a time but San Francisco never really did.  Now, when I close my eyes and think about home I see the above image - and know I'm right where I belong. 

After a long hiatus I logged into my site and found this draft image from nearly 3 years ago.   A fitting first post in the revitalization of the blog you are currently viewing.  

More thingy's soon.
