What the hey...gotta pay the rent....this
stuff was how I did it for a few years.
Johannes modelled for this one.
After a five year stint at gas station painter, landscaper, glass installer, concrete worker, group home counselor, and
camera salesman I went back to work as a pipeline operator for Southern Pacific Pipelines. In Concord, Ca. for no
less than 15 years. During that period I lived in Crockett and Bethel Island with 10 of years of sailboat time during
and in-between.
Not much published work in that period, but I continuously had a dark room and studio, and converted to digital
photography in 1997 or so, on Bethel island. I was doing video interviews and capturing stills as portraits. I love
computers..when they work. I made a few posters I laminated and sold through a few shops/bars during a Bethel
Island Bash weekend around 2002. Here's a couple ...I'm looking for the rest.
If you don't sell your photographs; does it mean they are bad?

I fucked everything up in San Fransisco, and with the help of old friends I moved back to Auburn and learned many
trades, yet excelled at none. I messed my back up on my old Triumph and had to go back to something less
demanding.for a living..physically anyway..
I've gotten strapped into a few weddings
along the way. This one was Al and
Debbie's. Bethel Island around 1999.
