Chess Palace
Sunday, February 8th, 20092 weeks ago I played in a 10 hour chess tournament at Chess Palace. I did pretty well and won four out of four games and $100. They put me on their home page as a featured player. Have a look at their site.

Chess & New Photos
Saturday, January 31st, 2009Earlier this evening I played in a chess tournament over at Chess Palace. I really love this place – nice people and totally devoted to chess!
Last week I went down to Santa Monica and made more photographs of the players. It was a very hot morning, but the light was better than usual. Normally I arrive at around 3-4pm and on this day I got there at 12pm. Since its winter time the sun was low on the horizon and it still was somewhat on the eastern side of the sky. It’s really painful to blow out the pier and the carousel because the sun is behind my subjects. And the key to fixing that is to arrive in the moring in either fall or spring. Here are 2 of the best photos from that day.


Frames Purchased
Friday, December 12th, 2008I made my first purchase of archival quality framing materials. Each setup with a 4.6″ matte all the way around costs approximately $50. I felt this was pretty reasonable. For more information have a look at the wonderful www.documounts.com and ask for Judy.
Tip of the Post: Some galleries require Plexiglas in photo frames. This is because of the liability of broken glass and also damaging the work.
