Above Berkeley CA: Tilden State Park
May 1, 2005
Beautiful Tilden State Park, just about 500 yards from Inspiration Point I don’t know what the deal is with inspiration point. It’s great and all don’t get me wrong, there are rolling meadows as far as the eye can see, and even cows – but there’s not really any room to take it in. You […]

Alien or seaweed?
February 2, 2006
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):

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.

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Marin Headlands – Point Bonita Lighthouse
April 9, 2007
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Glen Aulin Lodge – YNP
August 27, 2007
The main building at Glen Aulin is a large tent. In this tent – like all of the high-sierra camps (or at least the 2 that i’ve been to) – a lot of things take place. When you arrive at camp you walk into this tent and check in with the camp manager (Tim). He […]

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 […]

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 […]

Snow Shoeing Along Badger Pass
February 14, 2006
This past weekend involved another trip to a place i love: Yosemite National Park. I can’t quite wrap my mind around the past couple of weeks, shifting between a rather drab work-week and then these fantastic places for about 50 hours. I guess that’s California for you, nothing’s more than a train ride (or a […]

Kids on a Field Trip – Boston, MA
June 8, 2006
Note the buddy system at work. I spent a the better part of a week tooling around New England a couple of weeks ago. Just now getting to pictures (including last weeks pic). My camera is actually level, this old building was on a bit of a hill and it looks like it’s starting to […]
