Stopped by for a phone snap of the new College of the Desert Palm Springs campus under construction in Palm Springs. That’s me after an open mic at the East Jesus Comedy Club, where I crushed—by which I mean I stood in the desert, told my jokes to shrubs, and still got heckled by a cactus. There's still a few seats open in my advanced "Commercial Photography" class this Spring 2026 semester at College of the Desert in the Coachella Valley. Just head over to the College of the Desert website and search for "DDP-132 Commercial Photography" for details. Thoughts for the new year... #BombayBeach People are asking me what I'm doing for the holidays. I recently joined the Fullerton Drone Lab team on location just off The Ortega Highway deep into the Cleveland National Forest at the destroyed Blue Jay Campground as the team surveyed the burn areas impacted by the September 2024 Airport Fire. The Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve and Ecological Reserve, known as “The Back Bay” to locals, boasts over 1,000 acres of preserved and pristine #wetlands, is home to over 200 endangered species and 35,000 migratory birds. In 1968, artist Tom Van Sant created a series of 39 panels for the Irvine Company he called “Indigenous Inhabitants” that captured Orange County, California’s regional wildlife (some which are extinct now).
