Merced River: Surging Water
June 30, 2008
There are places that you can stand along the banks of the river where the trees and rocks can’t obscure your view of the river. If you ignore your peripheral vision and focus on what’s right in front of you the flowing river can take on new and different forms. This is what I tend […]

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 […]

Queen Mary 2 headed towards port
March 6, 2007
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.

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 […]

YNP: On top of Yosemite Falls
April 28, 2005
This is what Yosemite looks like at the top. My little GPS thingy said we were at 6666.something feet +/-26 feet. If you look carefully in the background of this picture you can see evidence that we weren’t the only people to make it to the top. In fact there were a variety of people […]

I Still Can’t Find the Right Pen
April 16, 2005
The Ferry Building is pretty much right across the street from where i work. Since i spend more of my waking time at work you could say that I spend most of my time looking at the ferry building, which is not necessarily a bad thing (The ferry building part) I was trying to capture […]

San Francisco Bay Early on a Saturday Morning
October 4, 2005
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 […]

Alien or seaweed?

I’m going to take another stab at a series again, this time to show a few images of Big Sur taken this past weekend. Instead of putting everything up this time i’ll add an image each day and append them to the links below. Enjoy! This Past Weekend: A Series (1/27/6-1/29/6):

Series: Amongst the Chimneys – 1 of 5
February 20, 2008
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 […]

YNP: Yosemite Falls
April 25, 2005
The lower falls here are same ones that were in the previous picture, the upper falls you can see above are greatly affected by the wind. We hiked to the top of this mountain on Saturday. It’s more than 2000 vertical feet acheived over 3.6 miles. You can do the math if you want; what […]

YNP: Vernal Falls runoff
May 24, 2007
I suppose this will be the first in what should be a 4 part series i took near the base of Vernal Falls. There are so many rock formations and the river was so swollen it made for what i think were some very interesting, and out of the ordinary, (for me anyway) photographs. I […]

Turkey Carving – Trinidad CA
November 29, 2007
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. […]

Portrait Time – Golden Gate Park
January 18, 2006
Monday afternoon Jason, Wendy and I trekked to Golden Gate Park to do a little photography. We were searching for something we just couldn’t find and finally decided to just set up shop and see what happened in the botanical gardens. Jason’s 8×10 garnered the most looks (as it should). It’s hard to tell if […]

Fallen Tree, Make Lake – Burl Detail
October 15, 2007
We just got back from a short trip to Austin, TX. Home of live music (lots of it), bats (didn’t see even one of em) and bbq (saw lots of that). I have a few frames from my one attempt at shooting the famous bats at sunset. In the end there were no bats, but […]

The Dude Motel – West Yellowstone, MT
April 6, 2008
I didnt really see all that many dudes hanging out at the hotel. I dont know if it was because there was a snow drift 14′ tall surrounding the hotel or because the wind was blowing at about 35 mph. Theres something very out of place about this hotel in this little town. I came […]

Mountain Sping III – Trinidad CA
December 4, 2007
The water was running down the hill at a pretty quick pace making for some interesting long exposures. It’s always difficult to understand after the fact, but simply getting in position to make this picture was a challenge. I had to climb up an uneven (and quite steep) incline with all of my gear. It […]

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.

Yerba Buena Island Looking Towards San Francisco
May 22, 2005
I made a little venture out to Yerba Buena Island this morning. I think YBI (as the kids call it) has a mysterious air about – but it’s mostly concocted in my head. Yerba Buena island used to be solely military housing, the enlisted men and their families live on Treasure Island. Treasure Island is […]

Frozen Trees at 6000 Feet
April 30, 2007
Saturday was rainy and cold. Sunday morning the sun was broke through the clouds and eventually let the mountain tops show through. There wasn’t any snow in the valley but up at the top everything was encased in snow and ice. By noon there was hardly even any evidence of the previous night’s storm.

Bridalveil Falls with Rainbow
June 23, 2008
If you’ve ever stood at the base of the falls you know how wet you can get. Well… i got about that wet. In about a 10 minute period I went from walking around in the warm evening air to being freezing and wet at the base of the falls. Being the end of the […]

October 18, 2007
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 […]

The Merced River – Yosemite Valley
May 19, 2007
In a light rain on the way back from Mirror Lake we stumbled upon this scene. The river was swollen from the snow melt and was surging more than i’ve ever seen it before.

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 […]
