Bridal Veil Falls Runoff – Yosemite National Park

I got to spend this weekend lazing around Yosemite, one of my most favorite past-times, even over Super-Bowl weekend. Of course living here on the west coast the super-bowl starts at about 3pm. Since we didn’t get on the road until about 2:30pm and there were about 180 miles of asphalt between the park and […]

Outside of Pescadero, CA

We found this creek running along the road (rt. 84 i think) right in the middle of a redwood grove on the way from 280 to pescadero. After making it through the woods we stopped at my newest most favorite bar. Attached to Duartes this tavern has been there since 1894. So has the jukebox […]

El Capitan in the Icy Fog

The next day further up the Merced El Capitan’s base was engulfed frozen fog. This image was made during the late morning when the fog was burning off. Standing in the fog is amazing as over the course of just 30 minutes the weather goes from wet and freezing cold, to rather warm with dry […]

El Capitan and the Merced River

We spent this past weekend in Yosemite and the river certainly didn’t flow like it did back in May when this picture was taken. The Merced was mostly idle and rather shallow. The only waterfall that showed even a wisp of water was Bridalveil Falls (see previous image). Up near Glacier Point there was no […]

YNP – California Falls

About a mile and a half past Glen Aulin is California Falls, the first of 3 sets of water falls. As the water level is relatively low it’s pretty easy to walk right up to the water’s edge. During the spring time i can only imagine how much more water comes through there – all […]

Yosemite Valley – Photographer in the Afternoon Fog

As the afternoon progresses something strange happens in the valley. It’s most likely due to the setting sun radiating less heat down onto the surface. As the air near the ground cools due to the snow and ice covering it and the air up a little bit higher stays warm it produces this rather amazing […]

Death Valley – Devil’s Racetrack

I’ve been busy – or at least trying to maintain my motivation – scanning all of the film from our trip to Death Valley last month. It’s a pretty daunting thing to get home from work every day and have a thick pile of Print Files staring you in the eye let me tell you! […]

Large Brick Wall – Brooklyn

I made a different picture of this wall that i happen to like a little better but it doesn’t really do a good job of showing the fading old advertisements that are visible straight on. My intent was to include only the brick-face but it seems that every time i push the edge of the […]

YNP: Half Dome from the Valley

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. […]

Goose Creek in Montana

I spent the entire day today developing film. I havent run that much film in one day since i worked in a darkroom, and it was a little easier then cause it was a darkroom, not my stupid kitchen. Ive got a week or so of scanning in front of me but soon i’ll have […]

Cresent City, CA – Lighthouse

This the last in a few from the North Coast of California (just south of the Oregon border). One of 2 lighthouses located in the strangely quaint and quiet Crescent City, CA. We took a trip to Yosemite last weekend to get a visit in before the tourist season kicked into high gear (and the […]

Fallen Tree, Make Lake – Burl Detail

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 […]

Merced River in the Ice

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.

Squaw Creek, MT

A frozen creek in Montana. (People actually stand out in the middle of this creek wearing waders and fish for hours on end.)

YNP: Yosemite Falls

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 […]

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 […]

Superfine

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 […]

YNP: El Capitan from Above

El Capitan/North Dome is directly to the left of Half Dome. From the valley floor you wouldn’t have any idea that those 2 additional domes even exist. This was taken at or around Glacier Point. It seems so remote, but unfortunately there’s a giant gift shop not 50 yards from where we were standing. Even […]
