Sea Anemone

Sea Scenes

I am so grateful to live near the beach. Living so close to it, I know I have taken it for granted at times. But as a photographer, I cherish the variety of visual subjects I can explore at our local beaches. Below are some of the beautiful treasures I discovered this year wandering the nearby shores. I hope you enjoy. Sea Anemone I love exploring tide pools. You never know what you might discover. This particular anemone I stumbled […]

Sunrise at Little Five Lakes

First Light, Little Five Lakes

One of the things I look forward to when I backpack the Sierra Nevada is getting up early in the morning and watching the first light of the sun slowly illuminate what John Muir affectionately called the “Range of Light”. There’s something peaceful and, at the same time, invigorating about seeing the sun start the day versus watching it conclude. Photographically, I also prefer morning because I feel there is more color contrast between the warm light and cool shadows […]

2024 Favorites in Retrospect

I’m late again unveiling my favorites from last year. Life circumstances forced my annual photographic review to be tabled to finish pressing freelance projects, but it’s here now! It was a year full of contrasting experiences and emotions. Some of the highs were the incredible trips, including my first time traveling internationally with Kim and the girls. The flip side of that was the low learning of my layoff from the job I held for 14 years, and the job […]

Misty Morning Meal, Nairobi National Park

Misty Morning Meal – Nairobi National Park

Our international family summer trip capped off with a week in Nairobi, Kenya. We were there to work, helping Amani Ya Juu develop some videos and marketing material for their organization. Over the weekend of our visit, we did get the chance to explore Nairobi National Park and create some incredible family memories. Initially, we were afraid our trip to the park would be canceled as we woke to rain that morning. But the rain ended up being to our […]

Exploring England

Twenty-one years ago I took my first plunge into international travel. A two-week trip exploring England and the rest of the UK helped galvanize my love of exploring the wide world we live in. That trip also marked the first time I ever used a digital camera. It boasted a three-megapixel sensor and could store a whopping 256 MB of photos! Little did I know at the time how much that small device would change how I approached photography. As […]

Red Rock in Blue Light

Red Rock in Blue Light

Something is enchanting about the desert in the winter. It’s one of my favorite times to visit and explore the more arid parts of the US. Most people associate the desert with severe heat and lack of water, but winter can bring the opposite extremes, especially in higher elevations. Those intense opposites also helped carve and shape this region and its unique look. “Red Rock in Blue Light” was one of the highlights of my most recent exploration of Southern […]

Surface Tension

Surface Tension

Like most photographers, I love the transition seasons of autumn and spring, even if they are shorter here than in most parts of the US. That said, I feel like it makes finding beautiful seasonal scenes in Southern California all that more satisfying. In some years you can even see trees with new “spring” leaves before all the leaves from the previous fall have finished dropping. “Surface Tension” was derived from an exploration of a nearly dry creekbed littered with […]

Autumnal Morning Light

Autumnal Morning Light

Anyone who has followed me for a while knows I have a soft spot for bristlecone trees. They make for such fascinating subjects. In fall 2023 I wanted to introduce them to Kim on our trip up through the Eastern Sierra Nevada. So we did a quick little early morning hike where I discovered this beautiful tree. I have probably walked past this tree 10-15 times before, but for whatever reason it caught my attention this trip in the autumnal […]
