Bridalveil Falls

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 […]

Weeping Willow – Washington Square Park

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 […]

Mountain Spring – North of Trinidad CA

I’m going to try to go through all of my stuff from last week in (somewhat) chronological order. I was able to scan and prepare 19 images the last few evenings including the one from the other day. I don’t know that i’ll get around to posting all of them but… On thursday we pretty […]

Fallen Tree Stump near May Lake – YNP

This is the stump of a fallen tree, the part that when the tree was healthy and living was facing directly downwards. The size of it is immense. I remember last year joking that it would make a great fireplace mantle as it’s about 12 feet wide and 8 feet tall. The complexity of the […]

Where’s my toothpaste?

Here’s a little time-lapse of Jason and Wendy discussing the location of their tooth-paste. You have pretty much 2 choices of dwellings in Curry Village (That’s the name of the particular “town” inside of Yosemite where we stayed). There’s the perma-tent (a wooden platform on the ground with canvas sides and a roof – tent […]

Chris in the Marin Headlands

My brother and sister, managed to take 4 days of vacation from their summer vacations to come out to San Francisco to visit. Chris was amazed at the lack of tractors on the city streets, Katherine didn’t know what to do about it either but at least managed to get over it rather quickly and […]

A Quiet Afternoon at the Mill Valley Tourist Club

It’s been a little while since my last post eh? I just got a chance to develop some film tonight and it looks like from what’s hanging over the shower right now that it’s been since mid-june. We visited the Tourist Club recently in Mill Valley – we here at eBokeh.com give it two thumbs […]

Queen Mary 2 headed towards port

That ferry in the foreground is normally one of the largest ships in the bay (aside from the freighters that come and go all day long). The Queen Mary 2 makes it look like a toy.

Joshua Tree National Park

I managed to make a visit to Joshua Tree National Park this past week. The sun was bright and the atmosphere thin which is what i’m going to blame the slight overexposure on. (that or the dehydration and threat of leaping scorpions). I’ve got a bunch of stuff from the past week coming up – […]

Half Dome At Sunrise

The sun hit halfdome before almost anything else in the valley setting the scene for what turned into a spectacular morning of cloud modulation. (aka pictures…)

Series: Amongst the Chimneys – 1 of 5

Series: Amongst the Chimneys – 1 of 5 As a tribute to the warm, comfortable house they provided and splendid hospitality offered i have put together a short sequence of images taken from a quick photo shoot on the roof the morning we were to depart. I haven’t posted a series like this in a […]

San Francisco Bay Early on a Saturday Morning

As we came out of the long tunnel in the Marin Headlands the sky was suddenly clearing up. Clear blue sky and a stiff cool breeze. Jason and I woke up a little early and cruised out to the Marin Headlands for a little photography. Did you know there’s a missile base out there? I […]

Half Dome in the Freezing Fog

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.

Superfine

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 […]

Fort Churchill, NV

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

Squaw Creek, MT

A frozen creek in Montana. (People actually stand out in the middle of this creek wearing waders and fish for hours on end.)

May Lake – Sunday Morning (Take II)

What would a trip to May Lake be without some time sitting by the side of the lake? I figured this would be a good one to put up as we reached the 200th image. I don’t usually pay too much attention to the picture counts and site traffic and all that jazz but i […]

Tuolumne River – (one more!)

We just got back from the trip and I’ve got a whole mess of film to develop. For now – here’s one more from around Glen Aulin. I’ll be working on the film this week. Also there’s some stuff from the east coast i’ve been sitting on from this summer. New Jersey – Wildwood even […]

YNP: Burned Trees in the Valley

We went out to Yosemite again this weekend. I don’t know what it is but no matter how much i’ve tried i always end up taking pictures of half-dome. It’s an amazing thing, but i’ve been trying to find other items of note in the valley. This weekend found the leaves about one to two […]

The Marriage of Jen and Deneb – From the Top Looking Down

After a little vacation i’ll give this another shot. It’s been quite some time since my last post. Lots has happened? nothing’s happened? i don’t know. I started this little photo project limiting myself to these digital pictures. Turns out I lost interest in the digital picture thing pretty quickly. Rather, i really like my […]

Joshua Tree Cactus

At one end of Joshua Tree the landscape is covered by Joshua Trees. The other end has hardly any Joshua Trees at all and cactus and other desert brush cover the endless expanse of sand. There wasn’t much rain this year so the blossoms weren’t as prevalent as they have been in years past. I […]

Goose Creek

Somehow this ice has survived the snow melt and running water by being on just the right rock.

Burney Creek – Burney State Park

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 […]

Off of Third St – Warehouse Window

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 […]
