Garden Party. Right Now.
Today marks the first day of my San Francisco growing season, and hopefully my amazing vegetable season will follow shortly. Or in 48-92 days. Something like that. Two solid days of taming the Jumanji of a forgotten backyard, a day of planting Home Depot seedings, and we’re off! There’s all sorts of peppers, cucumbers, herbs,…
A flock of easter peeps
It’s that time of year again.. The time when a few of my pictures find meaning, popularity, and I feel particularly good about my photography. I took this shot a year or so ago and it’s always made me smile. (And no, there weren’t quite that many peeps. Oh, the wonders of photoshop.) Buy a…
Rockin’ Chairs

Vader’s New Ride

new bike
Finally got my recently-purchased Bianchi up and running, after replacing the handlebars, stem, headset, brake cables, tires, and pedals. Lots of fun, as I had to figure out how to do most of that myself. But it looks so good! And it’s 15 years newer than my last bike! So that’s exciting. For a listing…
Redesign!
And like magic, maxelman.com looks completely different. I believe this is number 6 or so? Maybe with some digging, and archive.org, I can make a little “history of” page. That could be fun.
