Wilder Ranch State Park beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken at Two Mile Beach near Santa Cruz, California, on October 21st, 2010 In the Fall of 2010, I was making a great effort to simplify my photographic compositions.

Lightning Bolt

Wilder Ranch State Park beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken in Wilder Ranch State Park on October 16th, 2010 On a weekend in May the fog was sitting in the Monterey Bay like pea soup: thick, and heavy, and full of bits of ham. But then suddenly the fog rolled back out into the ocean, leaving behind a sky full of incredibly interesting clouds, […]

Roaring Seep

Burney Falls, California

Taken at Burney Falls, California on June 27th, 2010 Burney Falls sits in a magnificent grotto where water seeps out of a thousand holes in the porous rock along a 129 foot high face while two massive cascades shoot like cannons off the top of the cliff.

Turkish Bathrobe

Davenport Main Beach sunset, Davenport, Santa Cruz, California

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.

Lovely Light = Lovin’ Life

Half Dome and Sentinel Rocks from Columbia Rock, Yosemite National Park

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 […]

Four Mile Beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

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 […]
