Bixby Bridge – Rt 1

At the Bixby Bridge – about 1/4 mile north from where we stopped and were overtaken by fog – everything was clear. I took the opportunity to climb down the ridge a little bit and explore the hillside. Aside from being covered in tourist trash (cigarette boxes and dorrito bags) it’s pretty cool. I think […]

Merced River

Water flowing down a particularly long stretch of rapids.

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.

Joshua Tree

Everything is so barren, but at the same time it’s hard to find a place without more joshua trees in the background. I didn’t see too many of them but there are these small chipmunk/squirrel creatures running around in the desert. (I just looked them up and the internet claims that they’re “California Chipmunks”) Everywhere […]

Two Rocks

I’m going to try to get back on track here. Hopefully! I have a few more from the late-spring. Here’s one of them!

Merced River: Rock and Tree

There are lots of things in a flowing river that will get wedged from time to time two of the most popular being rocks and trees – at least in this part of the world. When i’m come across similar configurations in the past the tree usually is not totally and completely static as this […]

Trinidad Bay – Departing Shot

Early in the morning that Sunday nearly everyone down at the docks was heading out for a morning of fishing. Not long after we left the docks that morning we packed our cars and headed back down south to San Francisco.

The Lost Coast

We had the opportunity to spend one of our days taking a trip to the Lost Coast. From Trinidad it was probably about a 2 hour drive. That was made up of a 45 minute drive to the town of Ferndale a quaint little Victorian town nestled in the pastures of California and then an […]

Zion National Park – The Virgin River

We ended up only really being able to stay in Zion for about a day due to some travel restrictions (such as being back at work Monday morning). Luckily we were able to extend our stay several hours longer by choosing to fly home early monday morning rather than Sunday night. Unfortunately that meant more […]

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 […]

Cemetery – Virginia City, NV

This is a spooky place during the day – i can’t imagine what it would be like at night. This cemetery houses the graves of people from the area that were around for the Gold Rush. Many of the tombstones are from the 1800s, some of the most worn ones have been replaced somewhat recently […]

Trinidad Bay

Down at the water, right past Murphy’s Grocery Store is what i assume is called the Trinidad Dock. At least it’s located in Trinidad and is a place where people can launch their small boats. There is also a place for large fishing boats to dock and offload their catch as well as take on […]

Stream Wall – Near Big Sur

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 […]

All the way from London

Pictured here – the “Santa Cruz,” approaching a final destination of San Francisco by way (at some point) of London. (it’s probably hard to see that here, but it’s written on the back of the ship!) The freighter entered the Golden Gate just as I ran out of film. I quickly reloaded, all the while […]

Both Lower and Upper Yosemite Falls

(my camera got rained on and the tripod fell out of my car but it all worked out)

Along the Embarcadero

In the closest lane is a beautiful MUNI hybrid bus. (You can’t really see it because it’s in stealth mode)In the background, obscured by the palm tree is the Gap building. This is the birth place of all things somewhat trendy. Sometimes near there there’s an awful smell eminating from the drains. Turns out it’s […]

Glen Aulin Falls – YNP

Staying at Glen Aulin is quite nice. We managed to land what the camp manager stated was the “best tent they had, right next to the falls.” These were those falls. We were probably 50 feet away from the water’s edge and the lull was quite nice. During the day the beach area around the […]

Back to Basics

Seeing as i just cleaned the darkroom today i thought i’d take a break from what will become a Yosemite sequence and put up a picture of the eBokeh bathroom, er, darkroom facilities that i took a couple of weeks ago. As you can see we’re state of the art the entire way. This past […]

South Park – South of Market St.

I decided around 4:30 today that it was time to take a walk… so co-worker and i left the building on the sly. We talked about work stuff as we strolled around so i don’t really think there was any problem with it, but i know what some may say To complicate things, there was […]

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 […]

Have you ever made rock candy?

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 […]

Near the Point Reyes Beach

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 […]

Half Dome – YNP, CA

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 […]

Fort Ross

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 […]
