Turkish Bathrobe
Taken at Davenport Beach, Davenport, California, on May 22nd, 2010 I’m often amazed by how much you can change your impressions simply by changing your perspective. On this night, the waves were huge and I started out shooting close to the water line in order to capture the intensity of the surf. I had a […]
Lovely Light = Lovin’ Life
Taken from Columbia Rock in Yosemite National Park on May 14th, 2010 I once heard that 85% of visitors to Yosemite never get more then a quarter-mile from their vehicles. Incredible, I know, but it means that even with just a little bit of extra effort you can get to places that not that many […]
Room with a View
Read The Story Buy A Print The Story Behind This Photograph: Taken from above the Upper Yosemite Falls trail in Yosemite, on May 14th, 2010 Finding a unique viewpoint in Yosemite Valley to photograph is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Nevertheless, that’s what I set out to do this evening in May. […]
Salt Spray Samba
Taken at Four Mile Beach near Santa Cruz, California on May 10th, 2010 On this day, clearish skies gave way to amazing clouds as the sun set. Alas, the clouds brought the wind and salt spray with them, which meant my photoshoot felt less like a shoot and more like a dance: line up to […]
On the Prowl (aka Doin’ the Panther Beach Shuffle)
Last week I called up my friend and fellow photographer Jim Patterson to see if he felt like going shooting. I didn’t have whatfor in mind, so Jim suggested a place called Pebble Beach near Pescadero. We cruised up the coast, being buffeted by high winds the whole way. We got to the beach, and […]
Splish Splash
Taken at Panther Beach near Santa Cruz, California on April 21st, 2010 After being repelled from other prospective photo locations for this night’s photoshoot due to flying foam and raging winds, fellow photographer Jim Patterson and I found ourselves at Panther Beach just as the sun began to set. The light show was gorgeous and […]
The Storm Beckons
Click the image for a larger version to see all the neat detail in the clouds and water Boy, I must be a glutton for punishment for tonight I shot at Hole in the Wall Beach at high tide. The last time I did that, I had a serious accident. So how the heck did […]
The Storm Breaks
Early April was an incredibly rainy time here in Santa Cruz. April 2nd was one of those days so rainy I didn’t even bother to check the conditions for sunset because of the steady downpour. Around 6:45 pm though, I heard something: Silence. All of a sudden it was too quiet! I looked outside and […]
Patience and Diligence
Many people might assume that photographers are extremely lucky because somehow we’re always in the right place at the right time. But the truth is that luck rarely has anything to do with. Rather, great photographs are often forged out of planning, understanding, patience, and diligence. Such was the case for a recent shot I […]
Waterfalls and Waves
Taken north of Four Mile Beach, Santa Cruz, California on April 9th, 2010 Just north of Four Mile Beach there’s an interesting shelf with a neat rock formation. When the tide is right the waves come in, crash against the shelf, and send jets of foamy wash around the rock to cascade back into the […]
And seal it with a kiss
Elephant seals are funny animals. And I mean funny in a haha kind of way. A happy little weaner Had a fantastic opportunity on Saturday to go out with some researchers who were putting satellite transmitters on young elephant seals, or “weaners.” These guys are some of the noisiest critters I’ve ever been around and […]
