Downstairs on Cashio Street

D'oh!

I was cleaning up the table to arrange the puzzle for admiration when someone flipped the edge of the tablecloth, jumbling the corner.

So, I guess it's not quite done yet.

Ta-da!

RIP David Hockney.

I turned this puzzle out on June 13 when I heard David Hockney had passed. Then I listened to, watched, or read tributes, interviews and remembrances while I sorted and pieced.

It was a joy to learn more about the man, the artist and this work.

Well, today is July 30 and I finally completed the puzzle! It was fun and a labor of sorts but well worth the time and effort.

I'm no David Hockney but I like to think there is a ginormous photo collage in me. I just need to find my subject landscape and kick off the project.

This collage supposed includes fragments of 750 prints. I think I heard that he created 3000 images over 10 days to distill to the final collection. That was 1986 - before digital cameras were accessible.

That's a lot of shutter clicks.

Beach shade with style

My friend Will brought this sunshade to the beach at Leo Carrillo on Saturday. It was quite effective casting a nice patch of shade but it was also beautiful and the movement was mesmerizing.

I found it online here Shibumi Beach Shade Canopy – blaenag.

Mount Shasta

It's like the mountain stands on its own.

In Yosemite Valley - UPDATE

I posted this GIF of Vaughn making a photo back in May. Very lately, he shared the photo that could have been captured just as I was making this GIF's ingredients.

Thanks for completing this story, Vaughn.
