Sad but True

"Chet Smith, of East Palo Alto, gives a tour of his mobile home located in the Palo Mobile Estates in East Palo Alto on Friday. Smith, along with a group of residents is resisting a move to change the mobile parks status."



There are places like this all around the Bay Area and a lot of people are feeling the pinch. Changes with property management may drive this poor guy out of him home that he has lived in for years.

Back to the usual!

Finally back from vacation. Took a couple weeks off to spend it with my family and with my newborn, Alexandros. Here is one from the other day and there are more to come!

Alexandros...

My son was born and Barrack Obama was elected president of the United States all within a 24 hour period! How much better can it get! Here are a couple of photos of the newest addition to the family!!!

7lbs 3oz 19 inches healthy baby boy!

Burlingame Girls Tennis

I was sent out to get a few shots of the varsity tennis games in Burlingame just before going on vacation. It is very difficult to shoot local high school sports period after shooting pro stuff! Getting emotion out of some sports at a high school level is like pulling teeth! any way Enjoy the images!

CSM Football vs Foothill

I have watched and photograph this club for a while now. They have a very talented bunch of kids who play for them but some times struggle to win because of... well I am not giving my opinion on this since I gotta go up there and shoot from time to time.

Menlo vs Woodside Football

Another Woodside High School football game took place recently with a battle against Menlo, the school Jerry Rice's son attends and plays sports. It was a great game, with both teams going back and forth and a surprising win coming from the underdog team of Woodside!

Haunted House

"Danilo Oxford, of Palo Alto, gives a tour of his haunted house on Wednesday. Oxford will have his 800-square-foot “Realm of Darkness” open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays through Halloween from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 1034 Moffett Circle in Palo Alto."

Girls Water Polo

"Sacred Heart Prep (SHP) student athlete Stephanie Clements blocks a shot during a water polo match held at SHP in Atherton on Thursday."



"St. Francis student athlete Allie Power looks to pass the ball during a water polo match held against Sacred Heart Prep in Atherton on Tuesday."

Transplant

"Philip Jacob, among other transplant recipients, stand and wait to get their photo taken on Friday at Arrillaga Alumni Center at Stanford. Hundreds of current and past transplant patients and staff from Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford Clinics gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first human heart transplant in the United States."

This was interesting. I had other photos that went with the story but this is the one that stood out to me the most. Reminded me of "I'm Phil and im a transplant survivor"

Prop 11

"Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks about Proposition 11 on Thursday at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto. The Governor along with Former State Controller Steve Westly, Local Bay Area Leaders, AARP and Healthcare Professionals urged Californians to support Proposition 11."

The Governator made his way down to Palo Alto recently to endorse Prop 11.
