Half Dome At Sunrise
May 3, 2007
The sun hit halfdome before almost anything else in the valley setting the scene for what turned into a spectacular morning of cloud modulation. (aka pictures…)

Mountain Sping V – Trinidad CA
December 16, 2007
I’m going to put up a few more of these stream shots before moving on to the rest of the trip. Here’s a detail shot of one of the small waterfalls. *nothing* was moving back up there. The moss just acts like a sponge at its saturation point slowly exuding the water that flows from […]

Stream – Redwood National Forest
April 17, 2007
I started reading the biography of Eadweard Muybridge more than a year ago. Since then i’ve been trying to shoot more waterfalls and running water and the like – trying to make pictures look like the way they used to (without the boiling mercury and all that). See… Muybridge was the man who made it […]

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.

Climbers – Yosemite High Country
September 19, 2006
We stayed up at one of the Yosemite High Camps this past weekend – May Lake to be specific – highly recommended. Tour buses and the tourists that go along with them never really make it out of the vally. At 10,000 feet they’re a distant memory. The camp was great and there are 4 […]

Field of Grass Near Fort Ross
May 18, 2005
Near Fort Ross is the aforementioned tall grass that induced copious amounts of sneezing. See – i wasn’t joking – that’s some serious California Grass. (not this serious though.)

Rocks in the Merced River

I feel like my sabbatical is reaching its end. More to come.

Pacific Coast Highway
March 27, 2007
Another in a series of captures from the California coast 2 weekends ago. If i remember correctly we’d stopped an hour or two before in SLO at at a fantastic barbecue place we stumbled upon right down the road from the house of junk. Returning to San Francisco from the coast it’s such a foreign […]

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, […]

The Lost Coast
January 6, 2008
We had the opportunity to spend one of our days taking a trip to the Lost Coast. From Trinidad it was probably about a 2 hour drive. That was made up of a 45 minute drive to the town of Ferndale a quaint little Victorian town nestled in the pastures of California and then an […]

Cresent City, CA – Lighthouse
April 19, 2007
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 […]

North Beach Pub Crawl
December 4, 2006
After the waltzing across the bridge there was some walking around North Beach before dinner. This lead to an impromptu bar crawl – a warm-up to real one that Michelle and Mark will be hosting come January. Here we are at the first stop, Vesivio, a well-known San Francisco bar located right next to City […]

Brooklyn: The New York City Skyline
January 27, 2008
One month ago today we arrived in Brooklyn and had the pleasure of spending a few days with Catherine and Carl. To say it was great is a bit of an understatement. Usually whenever i get to spend time in that area it’s in the city somewhere (or do they call it Manhattan? who knows, […]

Bridalveil Runoff
June 5, 2008
The area immediately below Bridalveil is responsible for diverting all of the water that rolls over the falls into the merced river which is probably about a quarter of a mile away. I don’t know how authentic the runoff area is as it looks like there’s been some major work done over the years to […]

Mason and Green St: Right In Front of My Old House
April 12, 2005
Everyone loves cable cars right? The tourists sure do. It’s kind of funny – if you take pictures of the cable car the people riding them pose for you. They’re really proud of the fact that they’re on the cable car – maybe just that they made it through the line to ride the thing […]

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 […]

El Capitan
March 8, 2008
One of the things that always strikes me about being in Yosemite Valley is the enormousness of El Capitan. I mean, everything there is spectacular. The walls of every side of the valley tower above, but El Capitan is just plain huge, and what makes it even more pronounced is that you can walk right […]

Joshua Tree
March 21, 2007
Everything is so barren, but at the same time it’s hard to find a place without more joshua trees in the background. I didn’t see too many of them but there are these small chipmunk/squirrel creatures running around in the desert. (I just looked them up and the internet claims that they’re “California Chipmunks”) Everywhere […]

Mountain Sping IV – Trinidad CA
December 9, 2007
I’m pretty sure this is the picture i nearly soaked one of my lenses taking. I had retreated back to my bag to grab a wider lens and slipped as i was climbing back to my camera. I curled my hand around to protect the lens and took about half of my weight on the […]

Cleaning Leaves, Pescadero, CA
October 24, 2005
This stream had been neglected for many months, there were blockades of leaves everywhere, but when we left the increased sound from the running water was nearly deafening Yesterday (Sunday) morning i went up into the marin headlands to drive around, drink coffee, listen to music and look for photographs. It was a strange day […]
