Jean-Pierre was fascinated by the captured image at an early age. His tools have changed with the times but his unique view through the lens has not.
His images are available as prints and on everyday items from coffee mugs to journals at:

I ordered a 16x24 standoff print over the weekend of dusk at the Salton Sea. The standoff print is mounted on 1.5" gatorboard and the edge is wrapped in black. I was torn between this and a gallery wrap. Maybe the next one will be the gallery wrap. Here it is on the wall in the living room.

As I mentioned in a previous Posterous blog my son Josh was down for the weekend. After our trip to Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve we stopped at Sur La Table at Dos Lagos so I could buy him a Springform pan. For Easter dinner he made a New York style cheesecake and we collaborated on the topping. Its made with unsweetened dark cherries and instead of water we used Late Harvest Syrah (2007) from Wild Coyote Vineyards in Paso Robles. It can only be described as "decadent"!
Now I'm going to go eat it before it melts under the lights... AgentZ

It has been exactly one month (to the day) that we got our garden in. Since then I've bought steel posts and heavy gauge wire to start building a support structure for the plants. Everything so far is going well. The plants are all healthy and I've added a few more peppers to the mix, 2 more bells and a poblano (for making mole).
As you can see the tomatoes are quite heathy and have really taken off.
The peppers are also doing quite well. They are starting to blossom.
The cucumbers are growing like weeds and I've alrerady started training them up the trellis. And the tomatoes are all flowering. We have excellent bee activity this year so I'm hoping for some fruit to set soon on all the plants.

So, things started looking up on Thursday when we got confirmation that Josh was coming home for the weekend. One of the things that means for is me is, help in the kitchen for Easter dinner.
On Saturday, Josh and I went to the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve in Murrieta, Ca. We hiked and hiked and hiked through stands of California Live Oak, native grasses and wildflowers (or as Josh sees them, WEEDS) out to the "historic" adobes, to the vernal pools and along the overlook trail. Allegedly the "oldest" adobes in California. They are well maintained. Some sots from our trip:
Our sets are are available from the image link.
Sunday, we had a great dinner. I made ham with an orange spice glaze (juice & zest courtesy of the tree in the yard) and josh made a killer New York Style cheesecake for desert. He'll be making more, I made certain of that by buying him a springform pan at Sur La Table on the way back from our Santa Rosa trip (to make up for his feeling his life was threatened by the imaginary wild animals in the preserve (they were there, just that we didn't encounter them)).
Yesterday I hooked up with my cousin Bob and we went out to the Claremont HIlls Park (in Claremont CA, a public land trust) and then over to a few abandoned vehicles along Thompson Creek just outside the park. Here's a shot from those hikes. Image should link to the Flickr set.

Here, I have been able to combine a traditional Easter flower, the lily, with traditional Easter candy, chocolate.
This chocolate lily was shot in the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve in Murrieta yesterday while on a photo walk with my son Josh.
Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Easter.
