San Diego Rose Society
My father, famous for his amazing rose garden, recently attended the San Diego Rose Society show. He was surprised to discover they also featured and exhibition of rose photography. Since we both share a love of photography, we have been kicking around the idea of entering a few of our rose images since the requirements don’t look too intimidating.

My son Max Alexander and I had a common love of classic automobiles and have made a point to take in a car show when possible. Our first ones were the events that took place in Santa Rosa Park in San Luis Obispo. We had stumbled in after a hockey game at the same park. We had our hockey sticks, but no camera.

Read MoreVintage Hockey Photos
Tempers were flaring and feeling had gotten hurt. I received a tearful phone call last night from a concerned hockey parent who had just learned our Jr. Eagles recreational hockey team would not be playing in the Slapshot Invitational tournament. Rather than go into that ever turning can of works, I have chosen to share a photo I dug up out of the archive of the 2005 NCYH Grizzlies rec team. Being ‘Flash’, I couldn’t just leave the photo as is, so I spent some time in Photoshop and put a vintage spin on...
