SoFoBoMo is done!
June 1, 2008
Yesterday was the last day I could work on my Solo Photo Book Month project as May ended at midnight last night. I spent a good deal of time yesterday putting the finishing touches on it (well really, I spent a good deal of yesterday putting the entire book together. I started out in early […]

Outside of Pescadero, CA
October 23, 2005
We found this creek running along the road (rt. 84 i think) right in the middle of a redwood grove on the way from 280 to pescadero. After making it through the woods we stopped at my newest most favorite bar. Attached to Duartes this tavern has been there since 1894. So has the jukebox […]

Fort Churchill, NV
April 18, 2006
This old fort was one of the stops on the Pony Express. In fact, the post office (as it were) was about 3 ruins down the trail from this one. This was at the beginning end of the long gravel/dirt road that we drove to get to the location of yesterday’s post

Snowed in: West Yellowstone, Montana
March 30, 2008
Yikes – It’s been a little while since i last posted. Work got the better of me the last week or so. I’ve got a bunch of pictures of Yosemite and Montana to show you all and i’ve been trying to find time to develop the pile of film i have from Death Valley. Here’s […]

Off of Third St – Warehouse Window
November 12, 2007
Wow – so… yes – it’s been a while since i put anything up. Over the last month or so i became engrossed in a couple of other things. Specifically – i studied for and passed my technician class and general class amateur radio exams so now i’m a licensed radio operator. I also have […]

Superfine
February 17, 2008
I was going for something here that didn’t work out exactly the way i planned. Instead of getting a couple of slightly blurred people walking past as i intended i was left with 2 ghostly legs and that’s about it. Not superfine if you ask me, but an interesting mistake (or that’s what i’m telling […]

Along the Embarcadero: Palm Trees
May 5, 2005
Sometimes i set out to photograph the things that i see every day thinking that i can make them look really cool. Instead they turn out looking exactly the way they look every day, which isn’t spectacular but isn’t bad, it just… is. is that bad? good i can’t tell? I’ve been experimenting with these […]

Merced River: Rock and Tree
May 28, 2008
There are lots of things in a flowing river that will get wedged from time to time two of the most popular being rocks and trees – at least in this part of the world. When i’m come across similar configurations in the past the tree usually is not totally and completely static as this […]

Weeping Willow – Washington Square Park
April 9, 2005
Shaking in the wind this tree looks like it’s made of cotton. Many new digital cameras have a built in filter to block infrared light. Seems that the new CCDs/CMOS sensors are super-sensitive to IR. Without a filter there to block the unnecessary IR your color pictures look strung out (sort of like those ones […]

Back to Basics
February 9, 2006
Seeing as i just cleaned the darkroom today i thought i’d take a break from what will become a Yosemite sequence and put up a picture of the eBokeh bathroom, er, darkroom facilities that i took a couple of weeks ago. As you can see we’re state of the art the entire way. This past […]

Neil Armstrong Olson
May 15, 2005
This weekend we ventured to the moon (that’s the earth-rise you see Jason pointing at). He neglected to bring his space-suit so could only stay outside of the ship for about as long as he could hold his breath, and due to the lack of air-pressure he’s ballooned up bigger than Britney Spears. The doctors […]

Half Dome from Mt. Hoffman
September 26, 2007
This is the first time that i’ve posted a picture of half-dome where there is land visible all around it. See usually what you see above half-dome is sky. I spent a few minutes looking around on google images and flickr and i could only come up with a couple. The reason for this is […]

Pacific Coast Highway
March 27, 2007
Another in a series of captures from the California coast 2 weekends ago. If i remember correctly we’d stopped an hour or two before in SLO at at a fantastic barbecue place we stumbled upon right down the road from the house of junk. Returning to San Francisco from the coast it’s such a foreign […]

YNP: Yosemite Falls
April 25, 2005
The lower falls here are same ones that were in the previous picture, the upper falls you can see above are greatly affected by the wind. We hiked to the top of this mountain on Saturday. It’s more than 2000 vertical feet acheived over 3.6 miles. You can do the math if you want; what […]

Zion National Park
June 10, 2007
We left Vegas none too soon and headed out to Zion National Park. To me Zion is every bit as interesting as Yosemite. The mountains are fantastic and the landscape every bit as rugged

YNP: On top of Yosemite Falls
April 28, 2005
This is what Yosemite looks like at the top. My little GPS thingy said we were at 6666.something feet +/-26 feet. If you look carefully in the background of this picture you can see evidence that we weren’t the only people to make it to the top. In fact there were a variety of people […]

Yosemite Valley – Photographer in the Afternoon Fog
February 27, 2008
As the afternoon progresses something strange happens in the valley. It’s most likely due to the setting sun radiating less heat down onto the surface. As the air near the ground cools due to the snow and ice covering it and the air up a little bit higher stays warm it produces this rather amazing […]

Snow Covered Trees in Montana
April 25, 2008
We’re getting ready to walk out the door for a night or two in Yosemite (undetermined at this point). I was planning on scanning some more and running some film but i was away for a couple of days at an off-site (work speak for a multi-day meeting). I still have a few things kicking […]

December 10, 2006
Here’s another image of the bar keep at Vesuvio trying to keep everybody happy. Check back monday/tuesday as “SantaCon 2006 – San Francisco” should be developed and ready. Well – i know for a fact that it’s developed as i’ve left it all hanging from the shower curtain rod. There a lot of stuff, hopefully […]
