Announcing 2 new galleries on the Photography page – New Aged & Dynamic Hum
New Aged – A new look at “aged” decayed, distressed, time-worn objects of interest.
Dynamic Hum – Photos enhanced with Photoshop filters and routines while striving to retain a natural look. Not quite HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography, but in the same vein. Photos with a “dynamic hum”! (With apologies to Frank Zappa – re: Dynamo Hum)
Stay tuned as new photos will be added to these galleries.
If not for Steve Jobs, this website likely would not exist. Our daily interface with technology would not be the same no matter what specific devices we use. Many relationships with friends from around the world would never have happened. The past, present and future has been changed by Steve Jobs, for the better. Nothing gold can stay. This says more about his life than his passing.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. … Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
- Steve Jobs – Stanford University commencement address, June 2005.
Steve Jobs worked and inspired to make his dreams, his inventions become reality. The best inventions of man have a touch of humanity though they may still essentially be considered an inanimate object. Like songwriting, performing, painting, photography – invention is an artform!
“I knew long before we built it exactly what the Mac was. It always existed. I never had to ask customers what they wanted. If it’s something truly revolutionary, they won’t be able to help you.”
- Steve Jobs
Dear Steve Jobs, thanks for everything. It is impossible to say computing and technology would be enjoyed at current levels by me and everyone else without your contributions. I am forever grateful.
“I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list….That didn’t look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of lomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away.
That’s what a computer is to me: the computer is the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”
- Steve Jobs – Interview for the documentary “Memory and Imagination,” 1990

Hello all,
Sunset Street Design.com is my new website dedicated to all things web design and development related. We have exciting new clients ready to build or redo websites and that is what we are looking forward to. We would love to create your website! Please stop by SunsetStreetDesign to check out the new site and we invite you to follow us on Facebook too.
Light-Imagery.com will transition to featuring my photographic endeavours which is why it was originally created.
Thank you all for your support.
A website can help your business in every way imaginable and in many ways not yet imagined. Clients have told me they have made connections they never thought possible just because they had an active, informative and productive website.
Prospective clients have asked me why should they spend a lot of money on a website. First, they should not spend too much. They should have a website that fits their business profile and is designed to grow with their marketing needs.
Big business gets it. It would be difficult to find a big company that does not have a website. Why? Simple, big business know that a website makes it easier for their customers to find them and buy their products and services. This is one area where it makes good sense for your small business to emulate big business. Your website is your business image projected for the rest of the world to see. Even a simple yet professional website projects a positive image.
A website is not only a marketing tool. It is a contact and location tool. For business the internet is what the phone book used to be, only better. Your potential customer can now print out a map and directions from your website that will bring them right to your doorstep. Many of your potential customers don’t even know where their phone book is, but they Google for business hours and directions for businesses down the street, across town or out of state. Your website can do do this for you with a simple Google map on your Contact page. This also helps your search engine rankings, but that is a topic for another day.
Imagine what your website can do for you and your business. No matter who designs your website, please take the time to realize the potential benefits and the need for your business to have a productive website.
Of course, we would like to be your website designer. For more information or any questions please contact us today.
This will be a great year for wildflowers in our area. It is still officially winter with weather to match and we already have an abundance of early wildflowers in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Hello World! Light-Imagery is happy to announce the latest version of our website. There are new functional features incorporated as well as a nice new look and feel. We hope you like it. Feel free to comment or to just say hey.
