On Christmas morning of 1980 I got Pitfall! and my video game playing world turned upside down. What an amazing game! Animating sprites, more screens than you can count and bi-linear gameplay (you could go left or right). I played the game all day and ended up getting a score high enough to send in to receive the Pitfall! patch.

One A Day - Not really on this day
Los Angeles CA E3 1999
In 1999 I got to go to my first E3. My friend got Donna and I in and it was a blast. I had no idea that the following year I would be attending E3 on my own pass. E3 is sensory overload. I picked this shot because it shows the Sega Dreamcast set up. For many the Dreamcast is known for being an incredible system that had too short of a life. The death of the Dreamcast marked the end of Sega's Hardware days.

Anaheim CA Disneyland
Back just before The Country Bear Jamboree closed I decided to take photos with some of my bear friends that I had spend much time with. The welcomed me into their band when they heard my awesome jug skills. Even to this day I can always look back and say, "thank God I'm a Country Bear".

San Francisco CA Our Apartment
The other day Donna and I brewed the beer kit she got me for my birthday. We boiled up the wort and put it in Mr. Beer. It needs to sit for 2 weeks before it's bottled so we put the knitted mantis on it to protect it. We don't want anyone stealing our 2 gallons of beer before it's ready.

Back in high school I was taking pictures only you needed to put something called film in the camera. Here is one of my earlier "From The Hip" photos. A fish buyer and a fish seller are haggling about a what the right price might be.

Barcelona Spain
In Spain we took time out to visit a Bull Fighting Ring. It was really cool. We paid a few bucks and were allowed to walk around it freely during the day when it wasn't being used. The whole idea of Bull Fighting makes me sad but the arena was really cool.

Since I have never documented anything interesting on this day, I will continue with the Spain photos. The number of scooters in Spain stood out to me. There were way more than I had ever seen before. I took many photos of scooters on that trip.

Here is possibly my first "from the hip" photo I ever took. It's a method I use to take photos discretly. This one was taken in a Gothic Cathedral in Spain. I stood really still and snapped the photo with my Canon EOS 650. I still have the camera but the shutter is sticky and I'm not sure I have seen batteries for it in years.

In August of 2001 I got to go to Spain to visit a Gaelco Games. We were porting their arcade machine Smashing Drive to the Gamecube and Xbox. It was a fun trip. Here is a shoe store I took a photo of.

The Presidio CA Presidio Bowl
Well now that this is the 3rd "Not on This Day" post in a row you probably have realized that clearly some top secret stuff has happened at this time in previous years. It would be a good guess but wrong.... Here is a photo of our bowling league this year.

Some time this year I took this photo while we were on an adventure. I thought it turned out cool so I am sharing it now because I have never done anything photo worthy on June 17th.

At the beginning of the year I started taking photos of "free" things offered up in The City. I had had gotten a photo of everything but.....Well you get the idea... I guess I missed out on the Picture Frames.

Anaheim CA Disneyland The Matterhorn Bobsleds
In November of 1999 I left Disneyland for a career in the video game industry. I didn't know how it was going to work out but I was willing to take the chance. It turned out pretty good and I even got this Major Award from Gordon and Rose on my last day.

On my last day working at Disneyland I went around and took pictures with friends. This is Harold. He is one of the hardest working dudes at Disneyland. He yells at people all day and people love it. I took my picture with him.

Point Reyes CA
On this day I didn't document anything interesting so I have dug deep into the past and posted a scanned photo from the past. My first trip to San Francisco as an adult was for business. A co-worker and friend of mine came up to visit Sega for a code review. We were given a bonus day up here because of our hard work so we went to Point Reyes and took photos of the light house. This is one of my favorite shots from that trip. Since then I have returned to Point Reyes a few times but have never been able to recreate this shot.

Anaheim CA Disneyland
Apparently I didn't do anything photo worthy today so here is a photo I took on my last day when we were getting the Matterhorn Bobsleds ready to open. Part of the procedure is to cycle the sleds through the mountain a few times to get them warmed up. As they warm up the grease in the wheels heats up and becomes more efficient and the sleds speed up. When the sleds are empty and cold they don't have enough speed to make it through the lagoon so you have to catch them and push them over the final hump. This is what Dan and Steve are doing in this shot. It's a really nice and quiet time before things get hectic. This morning was particularly calm and foggy which adds to the photo.

Somewhere in California some time in the past
I don't know where or when this was taken but I posted it because I didn't have any interesting pictures for this day. This shows how long I have been taking pictures and how long I have been shooting Canon. Since I had hair!
