Monrovia Geyser

This is a picture I use to explain why I never leave home without the camera. I drove up to the stoplight just after the hydrant was knocked off, and pulled into the lot at Ernie's Auto Parts to snap this quick before the rest of the Fire Department arrived to take care of the problem. I can assure you that was the longest I've waited for a camera to boot ever, with the sirens getting louder by the second.

But who am I and what am I doing here?

My name is Ross, and I live in Monrovia.

I am flattered to be invited by Amanda to post here from time to time. She found me on Flickr, easily reached by clicking on the photo above or, it appears, nearly any other photo showing in this blog.

I'm happily married to Michelle, and we are the staff of a small home maintained for the benefit of three cats who do graciously permit us a place to sleep in exchange for a steady supply of food and attention.

I'm a trickster, charlatan, magician, geek, occasional photographer, cinemaphile, patron of the theatre, jack-of-all-trades, and consultant. And I thank you for inviting me into your space.
