What’s Up? At dinner on Saturday evening with Dr. Cliff Oliver and his Annie and Patrick and Robin, Cliff explained that general anesthesia is about the most stressful thing that our body will ever experience; that our body shuts down because it thinks that we are dying; that the effects of being under last for […] What’s Up? I felt great and strong all day Saturday. My discomfort level is down 80% from Friday. Folks should know that with green light laser prostate surgery that the success of the surgery is generally not known until from 2 weeks to 2 months after the procedure. That said, there are lots of positive […] What’s Up? I was discharged from Thornton Hospital a bit before noon on Friday March 25. I saw Dr. Parsons who said that everything went perfectly and that I looked great. But for the expected discomfort I am feeling pretty good. I am back at Robin and Patrick’s home resting. The trick now is to […] This Just Out Me, from the hospital. Slept well, passed a few tests, and was discharged a bit before noon. I saw Dr. Parsons who said that everything went perfectly and that I looked great. But for the expected discomfort I am feeling pretty good. I am back at Robin and Patrick’s home getting ready […] What’s Up? Robin Sparkman drove me to Thornton Hospital early on Thursday morning. Check-in went smoothly, the staff here is great, and my green light laser surgery went well. I was feeling very good right after I woke up (but understandably a bit drowsy at first) with none of the horribly ill effects of anesthesia […] What’s Up? I enjoyed my last morning of photography at La Jolla for at least a few days with old friend Aidan Briggs, a fine young bird photographer who has co-led two Morro Bay IPTs with me. Mazel tov to Aiden who will be graduating from UC Santa Barbara this June with a major in […] What’s Up? Conditions were really lousy in La Jolla on Tuesday morning but I persisted and made a slew of really wonderful images. I will present three of those in tomorrow’s blog post: What to do when nothing’s happening? Get into the creative zone! Part one of many. The BAA Online Store The current […] What’s Up? I felt much better on Monday morning with just a bit of left knee pain. Got some unexpected good news on Monday: the time of my check-in for surgery was moved up from 12:30pm to 7:00am with the surgery now scheduled for 9am on Thursday.

After my ultra sound this morning I learned that I am good to go for green light laser surgery next Thursday, March 24. I spent the rest of the morning and all afternoon photographing displaying Brandt’s Cormorants, 777 images in all. What fun. var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; […] What’s Up? I had a private client on Thursday morning and we were blessed with wonderful light and pelicans, a displaying Brandt’s Cormorant, and my first Elegant Tern on digital. Boy, was I stoked. I had my pre-op chest x-ray done after lunch. Tomorrow is my ultra-sound. var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 […] What’s Up? Patrick Sparkman took a few hours off from work this morning to join Bryan Holliday and me at the cliffs in La Jolla. After a slow start we smoked em.

What’s Up? I met Dr. Parsons today. He feels that I am a good candidate for green light laser prostate surgery. I see him again on Friday morning for an ultrasound. If all goes smoothly my surgery will be done on Thursday afternoon, March 24. There are at least 25 lessons in today’s blog […] What’s Up? With Patrick Sparkman off to work, Bryan Holliday and I enjoyed a truly great morning at La Jolla. There are still tons of great pelicans, many in fine breeding color with their fire engine red bill pouches. I worked for the most part with the 100-400 II and on camera fill flash, at […] What’s Up? Yesterday was pretty much a photographic bust for me. Thanks to BPN-friend David Salem we went to a new spot near Patrick’s home in hopes of photographing the courtship rushes of Western and Clarke’s Grebes. Patrick and David had killed there last week but Saturday was a different story. The were fewer birds […] What’s Up? Right before my flight touched down in San Diego the veteran pilot came on the intercom and said, “Sorry about all that turbulence; in 20+ years of flying that was the roughest flight I have ever made.” The first two hours were the worst and the seat belt sign was illuminated for the […] What’s Up? I hit the sack early and was up at 4am to finish packing. I began working on this blog post in the car on the way to MCO. Jim is driving and getting the rest of the day off as his reward. As Jen is at a LaLeche League conference in Atlanta there […] What’s Up? I woke early on Thursday and headed up to Gatorland for a short shooting session.
