El Capitan in the Icy Fog
March 5, 2008
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 […]

Yosemite Valley – Photographer in the Afternoon Fog
February 27, 2008
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 […]

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 […]

Along the Embarcadero
April 7, 2005
In the closest lane is a beautiful MUNI hybrid bus. (You can’t really see it because it’s in stealth mode)In the background, obscured by the palm tree is the Gap building. This is the birth place of all things somewhat trendy. Sometimes near there there’s an awful smell eminating from the drains. Turns out it’s […]

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 […]

Three Rocks
November 10, 2008
Sometimes you go into a shooting lull. It’s happened to me in the past but i don’t think to this degree. I’m starting too feel more motivated and in fact have a thanksgiving trip approaching where i hope to reengage. Until then please continue to enjoy (perhaps not the right word at this point) some […]

South Park – South of Market St.
April 13, 2005
I decided around 4:30 today that it was time to take a walk… so co-worker and i left the building on the sly. We talked about work stuff as we strolled around so i don’t really think there was any problem with it, but i know what some may say To complicate things, there was […]

All the way from London
December 5, 2006
Pictured here – the “Santa Cruz,” approaching a final destination of San Francisco by way (at some point) of London. (it’s probably hard to see that here, but it’s written on the back of the ship!) The freighter entered the Golden Gate just as I ran out of film. I quickly reloaded, all the while […]

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 […]

Bridalveil Falls Runoff
July 14, 2008
I’ve been absent for a while, sorry about that. I’ve been trying to figure out my next project and am coming up short. I think i might try to do one of the other ideas I had for my SoFoBoMo project. There are 2 or 3 others I really liked but one that I would […]

Bridalveil Falls
September 7, 2008
This picture is kind of busy. At first it didn’t really do it for me, but after looking at it a few times i grew to like it. Usually I don’t use a long lens for the obfuscation factor but here i did. It started out innocently enough. The sun was shining directly in my […]

Joshua Tree National Park
March 19, 2007
I managed to make a visit to Joshua Tree National Park this past week. The sun was bright and the atmosphere thin which is what i’m going to blame the slight overexposure on. (that or the dehydration and threat of leaping scorpions). I’ve got a bunch of stuff from the past week coming up – […]

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.

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 […]

Brooklyn Bridge
February 11, 2008
Sorry for the short break there… At the last minute last week i ended up taking a couple of days off and going skiing with some friends for the weekend. We returned yesterday afternoon, all limbs intact and only minor soreness. all in all – excellent. There’s something about shooting pictures in Brooklyn, and any […]

On the expansive deck of our house was a fairly large fire pit. We probably went through a quarter-cord of wood during the 4 days that we were there..

Jen and Deneb at Chrissy Field
April 10, 2005
See these two? they’re getting married in about 4 months… Today we memorialized their engagement in pixels, (and silver). Maybe i’ll post one of those when they get back from the lab. Chrissy Fields was pretty much packed this afternoon. People everywhere, dogs everywhere, kids everywhere etc… We camped out right in front of the […]

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 […]
