Dear Sarah Connor

This is what the actual Terminator looks like!

Actually this is a robot sculpture created by Charlene's very talented roommate, Amber Von Felts. It was made from a Diana F+ camera for Gallery 86 in Ventura, CA. It was auctioned off at a charity auction where apparently Amber got to meet Elijah Wood. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say, "Dear Sarah Connor, This is what real hobbits look like!"

Fog Drenched Sunsets

The weather in Santa Barbara has been pretty weird all summer. The "may grays" and "june gloom," as they are called in these parts, lasted through july, august, september, and never seemed to go away. Then as "summer" crossed over to fall we began getting giant mounds of fog rolling in around sunset. This, of course, was all before our week long heat wave of 100 degree temps the last week of September. Now it's back and forth between rolling blankets of fog and mist and 80 degree temps. Which all makes for some dramatic and mysterious scenes. These are some seaside images I took during one of the fog drenched sunsets.
