Port of Oakland
June 7, 2005
Just a little shorty for you today. Sorry I haven’t posted lately I’ve been rather tied up. (I was thinking through this recently) there have been about 25 weekends this year, and I have had to work over 20 or 21 of them, I’m a little worn out, er thin, but not actually thin) These […]

Birch Trees – Redwood National Park
April 16, 2007
Sorry for the long delay – i’m just getting through a (relative) truck-load of film from the past few weekends. At the end of march we ventured up north to Eureka, CA (and Arcata, Crescent City and various points in between). After getting off of the highway to go check out an Indian Casino (it’s […]

Tuolumne River
August 19, 2007
All along the trail the water flowed down the granite slabs as it has done for thousands of years. In many places the granite is so worn by the flow of the water that it looks just like the sand on a beach as the waves retreat, the solid rock taking on the shape of […]

YNP: Half Dome from the Valley
April 26, 2005
Here’s Half Dome as seen from a vacant meadow in the valley It’s sort of crazy. Everyone – well nearly everyone – who’s at Yosemite is obsessed with Half Dome, specifically, getting that perfect picture of it. We happened to be driving around right near sunset time taking pictures and found this nice vantage point. […]

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.

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.

Fallen Tree Stump near May Lake – YNP
September 23, 2007
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 […]

From the Clift Hotel
September 1, 2005
Exactly 1 month ago yesterday as part of the celebration of Leanne’s birth, and because there wasn’t enough time to take a faraway trip, we took a weekend vacation in San Francisco (we live in San Francisco in case that doesn’t make sense). It’s an interesting thing to stay in a nice hotel in the […]

The Frozen Merced River
March 12, 2008
About a month ago I managed to escape to Montana for a long ski weekend (i haven’t gone skiing in a while. it wasn’t nearly as much as disaster as i thought it was going to be). I took one day to drive around the Bozeman/Big Sky area and shoot pictures. There was a lot […]

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 […]

Specs – North Beach
December 6, 2006
Saturday night – fast-forward about 1 hour. Specs is a bar in North Beach with a lot of (interesting) history. The word i’ve heard (please take this with a grain of salt) is that it’s connected to the strip bar (now Larry Flynt’s Hustler club, or some such nonsense) upstairs via an old, now unused […]

So Sorry Victor
April 9, 2006
Sorry for the lack of posts. Work/Life balance problems. I realized the other day that i hadn’t seen my car for about 2 weeks and it’s been raining (hard) every day. Hope the sun roof doesn’t leak like the old one did. Anyway… A while ago i let my brother borrow/have one of my cameras, […]

Glen Aulin Falls – YNP
August 22, 2007
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 […]

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.

Snow Melt – Merced River
June 25, 2008
It’s hard to tell if rocks are 3 feet under water or 3 inches when the river is flowing in the springtime.

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 […]
