Grant Lake Aspens in Fall: Golden Fall Foliage near June Lake, CA

Taken near Grant Lake, June Lake Loop, Eastern Sierra, on October 29th, 2012 The plan was to camp at 11,000 feet on a late-season backpacking trip. Well, we made it through the first night, barely.

The Thug Life

Thug Life composite portrait from Santa Cruz photographer Josh Cripps

Digital imaging and software packages like Photoshop have led to a groundbreaking revolution in composite photography. I love compositing because it frees you up creatively. There are no limits to the images you can create. Dangerous and fantastical adventures, underwater worlds, and magical moments. Nothing is out of bounds, and the only things limiting the […]

California coastal photography workshop

Fall is finally bringing some interesting clouds back to the Santa Cruz coast and I am dusting off my seascape chops. On October 10th I went out to photograph Hole in the Wall Beach, in my opinion the most beautiful beach in the Santa Cruz area. The sunset was lovely: lots of color and texture. […]
