Wind Blown Tree – Mount Davidson
April 9, 2005
On the way up here we happened on was appeared to be a rather gruesome accident. A small old toyota pickup went head-to-head with one of those hybrid MUNI buses i mentioned the other day. Looked like the bus came out ahead. Mount Davidson is one of those places that you never go out of […]

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 […]

Have you ever made rock candy?
March 17, 2008
Sorry for the break. We’ve been off exploring Death Valley since the middle of last week. I’ll have lots of images coming up if i can make the time to develop all of the film i shot. I just put up 4 or 5 pictures of what happens to the trees in Yosemite valley during […]

The Dude Motel – West Yellowstone, MT
April 6, 2008
I didnt really see all that many dudes hanging out at the hotel. I dont know if it was because there was a snow drift 14′ tall surrounding the hotel or because the wind was blowing at about 35 mph. Theres something very out of place about this hotel in this little town. I came […]

Giant Concrete Cross – Mount Davidson
April 10, 2005
The second thing that’s up here is a giant concrete cross It’s kind of strange – as you walk up the hill to the summit of Mount Davidson (summit because it’s the highest point in San Francisco) you’re in a state park. The area surrounding the cross though, it’s made abundantly clear, is owned by […]

Near the Point Reyes Beach
February 27, 2006
We took a drive up to Point Reyes Station Saturday morning and ended up on an Elk reserve that I never knew existed. The Elk reserve is on land inhabited by a family who has apparently live there since the late 1800s. Elk all over the place. This is a photograph of their barn. (the […]

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 […]

Abandoned Building and Manhattan Bridge
February 14, 2008
I realized after looking through these last several pictures from Brooklyn that i haven’t really ever made a series of images of a city before, i really enjoy it. Seems to me like the same basic rules apply to both uninhabited and inhabited areas. At least i just walk around and try to get the […]

El Capitan
March 8, 2008
One of the things that always strikes me about being in Yosemite Valley is the enormousness of El Capitan. I mean, everything there is spectacular. The walls of every side of the valley tower above, but El Capitan is just plain huge, and what makes it even more pronounced is that you can walk right […]

North Beach Pub Crawl
December 4, 2006
After the waltzing across the bridge there was some walking around North Beach before dinner. This lead to an impromptu bar crawl – a warm-up to real one that Michelle and Mark will be hosting come January. Here we are at the first stop, Vesivio, a well-known San Francisco bar located right next to City […]

Bridalveil Falls with Rainbow
June 23, 2008
If you’ve ever stood at the base of the falls you know how wet you can get. Well… i got about that wet. In about a 10 minute period I went from walking around in the warm evening air to being freezing and wet at the base of the falls. Being the end of the […]

Mountain Sping V – Trinidad CA
December 16, 2007
I’m going to put up a few more of these stream shots before moving on to the rest of the trip. Here’s a detail shot of one of the small waterfalls. *nothing* was moving back up there. The moss just acts like a sponge at its saturation point slowly exuding the water that flows from […]

Burney Creek – Burney State Park
August 6, 2007
Just past the waterfall a stream forms and carries through the valley off into the woods. I climbed out into what became a precarious position and made this image. The total exposure was about 1 minute with a light(ish) neutral density over the lens. If it weren’t for the mosquitoes i could have stayed out […]

YNP: El Capitan from Above
September 19, 2005
El Capitan/North Dome is directly to the left of Half Dome. From the valley floor you wouldn’t have any idea that those 2 additional domes even exist. This was taken at or around Glacier Point. It seems so remote, but unfortunately there’s a giant gift shop not 50 yards from where we were standing. Even […]

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 […]

Mountain Spring II – Trinidad CA
December 3, 2007
I don’t really know what to say about this one… i like the way the running water in the background plays off of what i think is a large tree root. Either that or laws of gravity aren’t working as expected. The moss that covered every surface short of the running water was quite impressive […]

Half Dome – YNP, CA
April 24, 2007
For the first time in quite a while we were able to take the day off on Friday and take off for Yosemite first thing in the morning. I’m pretty sure it was the first time I’ve ever been able to drive there during the day. Usually we arrive around 10 or 11pm after getting […]

Sierra Nevada Mountains – PG&E Dam on the Feather River
July 1, 2007
Diving along the Feather River is a pretty cool experience. You can follow it for quite a while, 50+ miles if i remember correctly. The road trades bridges with a railroad line that runs parallel, sometimes above, sometimes below. There are a bunch of dirt roads that allow access to the railroad tracks, and even […]

El Cap From The Valley Floor
April 29, 2007
El Capitan from the valley floor is immense. The base of the mountain is right behind that patch of trees and the sheer cliff face rises above the valley more than 3500 feet. El Cap is the largest exposed granite slab on earth. Late morning brought warming weather making the clouds around its dome change […]
