Half Dome in the Freezing Fog
February 27, 2008
The fog has just started filling the valley. Standing there it feels like the temperature drops 25 degrees over the course of just a couple of minutes. In the distance the Yosemite Valley Shuttle pulls out of Curry Village towards Mirror Lake.

YNP: Half Dome from the Valley
April 26, 2005
Here’s Half Dome as seen from a vacant meadow in the valley It’s sort of crazy. Everyone – well nearly everyone – who’s at Yosemite is obsessed with Half Dome, specifically, getting that perfect picture of it. We happened to be driving around right near sunset time taking pictures and found this nice vantage point. […]

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 […]

Bridalveil Falls
September 7, 2008
This picture is kind of busy. At first it didn’t really do it for me, but after looking at it a few times i grew to like it. Usually I don’t use a long lens for the obfuscation factor but here i did. It started out innocently enough. The sun was shining directly in my […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Seattle Skyline
May 16, 2008
We left Port Townsend the next morning and took the Kingston Ferry into Edmonds which put us just outside of Seattle. We drove directly to Paseo for a cuban sandwich. Now i’ve had a lot of sandwiches – and my share of Cuban sandwiches – but this was by far the best. If you’re in […]

Field of Grass Near Fort Ross
May 18, 2005
Near Fort Ross is the aforementioned tall grass that induced copious amounts of sneezing. See – i wasn’t joking – that’s some serious California Grass. (not this serious though.)

Birch Trees – Redwood National Park
April 16, 2007
Sorry for the long delay – i’m just getting through a (relative) truck-load of film from the past few weekends. At the end of march we ventured up north to Eureka, CA (and Arcata, Crescent City and various points in between). After getting off of the highway to go check out an Indian Casino (it’s […]

North Beach Pub Crawl

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 […]

Jason Shooting Half Dome
September 20, 2005
Sunday morning before we left we decided to cruise up to the top of Glacier Point. Glacier Point has a spectacular view of the entire valley below, but is unfortunately overrun with tour buses, and the cargo they carry. There is a nice paved path area going out to the point complete with full bathroom […]

Mt Lassen State Park – Kings Creek
July 8, 2007
We took a hike down Kings Creek in Mt Lassen State Park. We were there during the last weekend in May and there was still snow all over the place with several roads through the park closed down. I made this picture by jumping over the stream and onto a small island in the middle. […]

Bridal Veil Falls – From a Parking Lot
February 10, 2006
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you feel about these sorts of things, this picture was pretty much taken from a parking lot. Granted it’s a nice parking lot with a great view, but it’s a parking lot. The trend on this sort of thing around the park is upwards – which is… well the […]
