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:

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.

Went to Micheals yesterday looking for some frames for some prints I just had made from our recent Death Valley adventure. While they had most of their frames at 40% - 50% off (select lines) I found a real bargain in the area with framed "art". I was able to pick up a 16x20 frame with an 11x14 mat, glass & backing for $12.
Mounted and hung the prints in the living room (there's a lot of wall space there).
The frame on the left is the $12 frame.
Prints are available at Photography by JPL

Spent most of yesterday cruising around the WESTEC show at the L.A. Convention Center networking and meeting up with old friends. Still haven’t decided if I’m going to stay in this industry.
Late afternoon I headed up the coast to Paso Robles. Today I’m going to head further up the coast with my boys and grand-daughter to Pont Lobos State Reserve to explore and take pictures. Will post to Flickr account Later.

CAL POLY -- Police officers at Cal Poly are patrolling the campus in a new, environmentally friendly way.
The department recently purchased two electric vehicles, complete with lights and sirens.
They have three wheels and are battery powered.
Officers say they can now easily get to places they have never been able to in patrol cars.
"It's actually been very well received," said Chief Bill Watton. "You know, it's a big conversation piece and the officers get stopped frequently just to chat about it."
The vehicles are made by T3 Motion. Depending on the model, they cost $8,000 to $10,000.

So this weekend (after spending most of last in Death Valley on vacation) we were a wee bit ambitious. We had prepped the area for our veggie garden a couple of weeks ago. This morning we went to my favorite toy store (Lowes) and got stuff to put the garden in.
We spent most of Saturday afternoon doing maintenance around the property. I had picked up a new 4 cycle Toro weed whacker and whacked most of our half acre lot (okay, it only feels like most of it. there's still a good size chunk to go). The winter rains had turned the driveway edges into a jungle and it wouldn't be long before code enforcement tagged us so I needed to get it done. Dug out an old overgrown blood grass plant and spread a soil sterlilant on the hillside to keep down future weed growth.
At Lowes today we picked up a selection of pepper plants, tomoatoes, flowers, cucumbers, and a few cubic feet of mulch. We first added about a hundred pounds of amendment to the garden area, rototilled it in, and then got the plants in. Planted some sacrificial marigolds at the row ends.
Here's a row of peppers in a raised bed:
Adjacent to those are the tomatoes (one is a hybrid called Goliath that bears fruit up to 24 ounces each) and at the far end the cukes are planted in front of the trellis.
The watering is done via buried soaker hose and the whole thing has several inches of mulch on top to conserve moisture
Behind the trellis and past the Meyer lemon tree I have a Thompson seedless grape vine and some lavender growing. The grape vine is about 10 years old and it and the lavender are coming back in.
The area we had the garden in last year (about half the size) was looking pretty bare so we picked up some flowers and planted a bed of Freesia's,Persian Buttercup, Cape Daisy Iringa, and Felicia Daisy's (blue)
Sally's real happy with they this worked out as she can easily see it from the dinig room table while watching the local birds at our feeder.
