I’m doing a slide show with about 100 images from Tiny Homes On The Move tonight at the Bolinas Community Center on Wharf Road, at 7:30 PM. We’ll also be selling books (at a discount) and giving away free mini-books (2×2″ — 64 pages).
“…tiny home with double bed, fitted kitchen, bathroom and widescreen TV (and solar panels to keep down bills)

“WALKING HOUSE is a modular dwelling system that enables persons to live a peaceful nomadic life, moving slowly through the landscape or cityscape with minimal impact on the environment. It collects energy from its surroundings using solar cells and small windmills. There is a system for collecting rain water and a system for solar heated hot water.…”
Well if you say so. Looks like it would be right at home in Dwell magazine. A reminder: I put up stuff I find interesting, not that I necessarily like. The story behind this one is weird.

I send these out to about 600 people, many of whom never check my blog, every 2-3 months. If you do read the blog, much of this is not new.

Tide pools, coves, caves. Great idea for kayak trip from Pt. Arena lighthouse south the Pt. Arena pier — gonna do sometime.
Again, I’m frustrated by the narrowness of the screen. I’m going to print out 4×5’s when I get home, mount on board (and bring to Louie). The first stitched-together series of stills I ever saw was on the wall of Robert Frank’s home on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Black and whites. Then I discovered the photo collages of David Hockney and bought his book Cameraworks. Such an eye-opener.
I prefer to shoot with a 50mm or so lens setting, it’s pretty much the way I see the world (as opposed to wider angled lenses, which distort things), then paste them together. (When shooting a building, I keep backing up and adjusting the zoom until it looks through the lens the way appears to my eye.)
Built on pilings because it’s in a flood plain. One year the water came up to the 6th step
Saw this yesterday in Pt. Arena. To Tell the truth when I see these caravans of elaborate and custom 3-wheelers (they often stop off in Pt. Reyes Station), I think, why not get a car?
The design here is pretty snappy though. They seem to run from 15-24k$.
Louie and I just walked along the cliffs from the Pt. Arena lighthouse into Pt. Arena. A spectacular stretch, with coves, tide pools, caves, islands…
