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 […]

Climbers – Yosemite High Country
September 19, 2006
We stayed up at one of the Yosemite High Camps this past weekend – May Lake to be specific – highly recommended. Tour buses and the tourists that go along with them never really make it out of the vally. At 10,000 feet they’re a distant memory. The camp was great and there are 4 […]

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.

Merced River in the Ice
March 11, 2008
The Merced River with the wall of El Capitan granite in the background. It’s like standing downtown in a large city, but instead of skyscrapers full of office workers there are sheer walls of monolith all around you.

Joshua Tree Cactus
March 20, 2007
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 […]

Near SFO – November 05
January 10, 2006
That concrete part at the bottom wasn’t supposed to be there. I’m going to blame my prism, which seems to have frame coverage of about 85% so there’s always a little… surprise.

The Merced River
September 21, 2008
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.

May Lake – Sunday Morning (Take II)
October 6, 2007
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 […]

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 […]

Morning Light on the Tuolumne River
August 30, 2007
We were only there for 2 mornings, but this is what it look on each of them. The water was so clear you could generally see down to the bottom no matter how deep it was (granted it’s late summer and the water isn’t really that deep, maybe 20 feet at the most). More than […]

Cemetery – Virginia City, NV
April 22, 2006
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 […]

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 […]

Pacific Coast Highway
March 27, 2007
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 […]

The Lost Coast
January 6, 2008
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 […]

Brooklyn: The New York City Skyline
January 27, 2008
One month ago today we arrived in Brooklyn and had the pleasure of spending a few days with Catherine and Carl. To say it was great is a bit of an understatement. Usually whenever i get to spend time in that area it’s in the city somewhere (or do they call it Manhattan? who knows, […]

Bridalveil Runoff
June 5, 2008
The area immediately below Bridalveil is responsible for diverting all of the water that rolls over the falls into the merced river which is probably about a quarter of a mile away. I don’t know how authentic the runoff area is as it looks like there’s been some major work done over the years to […]

Dumbo, Brooklyn
February 6, 2008
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 […]

SoFoBoMo is done!
June 1, 2008
Yesterday was the last day I could work on my Solo Photo Book Month project as May ended at midnight last night. I spent a good deal of time yesterday putting the finishing touches on it (well really, I spent a good deal of yesterday putting the entire book together. I started out in early […]

Superfine
February 17, 2008
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 […]
