My kitty from NYC died this year.
I photographed this tree which caught fire just South of the Ventura Mall...

Hans with Phil Salazar and Jonathan McEuen

These photos were taken 11-22-09 at Zoey's Cafe. Thanks Phil and Jonathan for letting me play!!!
These guys are such amazing musicians. It's an honor to get to play music with them. Keep an eye on Jonathan. I believe him to be the best young guitarist/singer/songwriter I've heard in years.
Phil and I have a band (The Harlem Holler Trio with Randy Tico). I should have some music from our last gig up on this website soon! Check my 'VIDEOS/LINKS' page for a link to Jonathan's website. Support local music!!!!!!!!

Hans' Cairn Photos...

My buddy Dave and I walk on the beach 5 miles each day (mostly) and I started photographing these cairns, which kept popping up everywhere. I would find out who did them...
Amazing it stays there.
One day I saw the man who builds them. He told me his name was "Francis Drake". So kudos to Francis Drake. I love his work.

Tal Farlow's Guitar!!!

Hans, Lorenzo DeStefano, and Tal Falow's personasl Gibson "Tal Farlow" model guitar!
Hans playing Tal Farlow's Gibson "Tal Farlow" at the screening of Lorenzo DeStefano's documentary "Talmage Farlow"
Sunburnt Hans with Tal Farlow's actual sunBURST "Tal Farlow" model Gibson. I'm honored to have been asked by Lorenzo DeStefano (filmmaker & 20 year friend of Tal Farlow) to play a short set of music on Tal's guitar & talk a little about him.
It's got what's called a "volute", the little swirly by the cutaway, like a mandolin. This model is the only Gibson model guitar with a volute.
Check out the location of the pickup selector switch.
