The Merced River

I hope your not getting too bored of looking at the Merced! I’m getting down to the end here and will have to run a bunch of film soon. Some focus was lost over the summer – it should return here in the next few weeks. Servus.

Turkey Carving – Trinidad CA

I should be back in the saddle now… i had a minor hiccup the last couple of weeks as i had taken a few weeks off from shooting and didn’t want to delve into my archive. We had the good luck of renting a rather excellent house up in Trinidad, CA for the thanksgiving weekend. […]

Zion National Park

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

Merced River

Water flowing down a particularly long stretch of rapids.

Pacific Coast Highway

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 […]

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 […]

El Capitan in the Icy Fog

The next day further up the Merced El Capitan’s base was engulfed frozen fog. This image was made during the late morning when the fog was burning off. Standing in the fog is amazing as over the course of just 30 minutes the weather goes from wet and freezing cold, to rather warm with dry […]

Tenaya Lake From Mt. Hoffman

The scale of things at elevation in the clear mountain air has a way of playing tricks with your perception of distance. Tenaya lake is at least 6 miles away from where we were standing although it looked like it was just 100 yards.

Downtown – Putney, VT

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)

Dumbo, Brooklyn

This is probably one of the best neighborhood names i’ve heard. In case you don’t know DUMBO translates to: Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It seems from looking around for that this – like many other things – is something that only I was not aware of and the rest of the world has […]

The Queen Mary 2 in San Francisco Bay

A gaggle of sailboats surrounded the Queen Mary as she sailed into the San Francisco Bay.

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 […]

Feather River Dam – Detail

Here’s another shot of the Feather River Dam. The original image can be seen here. The dam is pretty cool. There’s not really a whole lot going on there. The dam sits there and i assume the water that was flowing through it was just a little bit of overflow or something as there’s no […]

South Congress Ave. Bridge – Austin TX

Did i mention that we were in Austin last week for a few days? I was there for some work meetings that started first thing Thursday morning and i arrived mid-afternoon wednesday so i spent a little bit of time walking around the downtown. I ended up down by the river at sunset looking for […]

Leanne next to one of the Redwoods

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.

Angel Island – San Francisco Bay

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.. i missed a few weekends of shooting, first, well both, because of work, and then i got rather ill and spent the week watching Orange County Choppers, Rachel Ray and Myth Busters (etc), and feeling sorry for myself, all in between my naps on the couch. I’m mostly […]

KFOG Kaboom – redux

Happy 4th of July! Here’s one more shot from the KFOG Kaboom fireworks display from a couple of months ago. It’s pretty tough shooting fireworks in San Francisco. You’re in the middle of a major city so it never really gets that dark. It’s usually at least a *little* foggy (if you’re lucky) which just […]

Point Reyes Station Lighthouse

The Point Reyes Station Lighthouse. Jason and i cruised out here today to check out the scene. The last time we were here – the first time – we’d just been camping in Samuel P. Taylor State Park and the campfire had set off allergies. It was generally a bad scene, and not a whole […]

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 […]

Marin Headlands – Point Bonita Lighthouse

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 […]

Seattle Skyline

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 […]

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 […]
