Random Photo Tuesday - Music Man

Johnnie, who co-owns JJ's Blues with his wife is often recognized as one of the people keeping the blues alive in San Jose. He's less known for being a really great piano and keyboard player, even though he's incredibly talented. He was concentrating so hard on playing this song, in b flat which he tells me is the hardest key to play in, that he didn't even see me take this photo

Random Photo Tuesday

This week's random photo is one of my favorites from the San Francisco parade that I haven't posted till now. Code Pink, the female political activist group brought their anti-President Bush message to the parade. I'm really awed when I see people rallying in this way whether I agree with their message or not.



I've been in one such demonstration, years ago on San Jose State University's campus I was one of the demonstrators walking back and forth from one part of campus to the other across the street. We were trying to get a traffic light installed as the street was particularly dangerous and even then district leader Cindy Chavez joined us.

Our photo was in the school newspaper and it turns out I was the only one with my caution tape sash on upside down, how funny!

We did end up getting it, the city split the cost with the university, and as far as I know no one was injured crossing after the light was installed (and there had been quite a few close calls previous to that). Politics in action, I love it.

The first Random Photo Tuesday

Welcome to the first Random Photo Tuesday. Each Tuesday I'll post a photo of something, most likely not wedding related, and tell you a little about it.

This shot is of Sean who says he spends most of his free time in a tree. Colleen and I encountered him, not surprisingly in a tree, while she was walking her mom's dog. We heard some kids laughin above us, when I looked up all had jumped off their branches except Sean. He said he could hold onto a branch for longer if I needed him to, but I knew this was the shot I wanted.
