Glen Aulin Lodge – YNP
August 27, 2007
The main building at Glen Aulin is a large tent. In this tent – like all of the high-sierra camps (or at least the 2 that i’ve been to) – a lot of things take place. When you arrive at camp you walk into this tent and check in with the camp manager (Tim). He […]

Climbers – Yosemite High Country
September 19, 2006
We stayed up at one of the Yosemite High Camps this past weekend – May Lake to be specific – highly recommended. Tour buses and the tourists that go along with them never really make it out of the vally. At 10,000 feet they’re a distant memory. The camp was great and there are 4 […]

The Queen Mary 2 Coming into San Francisco Bay
February 14, 2007
As we approached the bay on what was Super-Bowl Sunday (February 4, 2007) it was never more clear how much a professional sports town San Francisco wasn’t. The ship was due to enter the bay at about the same time as kickoff of the national football demonstration and there were at least 10,000 people standing […]

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 […]

Marin Headlands – Point Bonita Lighthouse
April 9, 2007
One of my favorite places in the Bay Area is the Marin Headlands. Just a couple of miles North of San Francisco you’re immediately taken to a large relatively undeveloped place. There are some roads, small buildings and hiking trails (along with a pseudo-undercover missle base and old WWII cannon forts, but that’s all for […]

Downtown – Putney, VT
June 3, 2006
One of my favorite places in VT, right next to the general store where you can buy Ben & Jerry’s “seconds,” (read: partially smashed) ice cream bars for about $.80 – at least that’s what they cost while i lived there. (the non-smashed variety were about $4)

Leanne next to one of the Redwoods
April 18, 2007
The redwood groves up in the Redwood National Park are even more impressive than the ones around San Francisco. This one was one of the larger ones that we saw that day, right along the banks of the Eel River.

Brooklyn Bridge
February 11, 2008
Sorry for the short break there… At the last minute last week i ended up taking a couple of days off and going skiing with some friends for the weekend. We returned yesterday afternoon, all limbs intact and only minor soreness. all in all – excellent. There’s something about shooting pictures in Brooklyn, and any […]

Specs – North Beach
December 6, 2006
Saturday night – fast-forward about 1 hour. Specs is a bar in North Beach with a lot of (interesting) history. The word i’ve heard (please take this with a grain of salt) is that it’s connected to the strip bar (now Larry Flynt’s Hustler club, or some such nonsense) upstairs via an old, now unused […]

Fallen Tree, Make Lake – Burl Detail
October 15, 2007
We just got back from a short trip to Austin, TX. Home of live music (lots of it), bats (didn’t see even one of em) and bbq (saw lots of that). I have a few frames from my one attempt at shooting the famous bats at sunset. In the end there were no bats, but […]

Snow Melt – Merced River
June 25, 2008
It’s hard to tell if rocks are 3 feet under water or 3 inches when the river is flowing in the springtime.

Lighthouse South of Pescadero
November 10, 2005
This is a special post for Randi, who i talked to this evening for the first time in about 8 months or so! From talking to her I learned that there are at least 6 people that read this web page, up from 5 which is what i’d previously thought. I didn’t realize that 2+ […]

Fort Ross
May 17, 2005
Fort Ross was an interesting place. Russian settlers, Native Alaskans and Californians called this place home, all at the same time. It has been called a relationship “chiefly of cooperation,” and is perhaps one of the few examples of different cultures coming together without immediately killing one another. I was there for about 45 minutes […]

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

Stream Wall – Near Big Sur
January 31, 2006
This stream was right out behind our camp site – I was going for something here that just didn’t work out perfectly. It’s all practice though right? one of these times i’ll get what’s in my head out onto the film. I’m going to take another stab at a series again, this time to show […]

YNP – California Falls
September 9, 2007
About a mile and a half past Glen Aulin is California Falls, the first of 3 sets of water falls. As the water level is relatively low it’s pretty easy to walk right up to the water’s edge. During the spring time i can only imagine how much more water comes through there – all […]

Mountain Stream No. 1
January 18, 2006
On the way back down the mountain we stopped for a little while at a mountain stream. I nearly fell in about 4 times trying to stand in such a way that permitted focusing. I made it out with dry feet and all cameras intact. I did manage to nearly fall down a slippery hill […]

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 […]
