As an artist I am constantly reenergized when viewing the work of others. Artists who print, publish and show their work share a kindred spirit in finding outlets for their passion. This passion not only reveals a subject, a concept, technical expertise or vision it reveals their essence of being. With each viewing of the creative work of an artist you learn a little something about who they are as a person as well a
This photo could sum up the past couple of weeks nicely. Life has been coming at me fast and furious as of late. Taxes, a variety of projects and recently my dog Moe (dressed as Batdog) having some unexplained seizures. All is well with Moe fortunately, but I’m keeping an eye on him. Other than being severely sleep deprived staying up with him late at night… we’re both faring well. The same could be
Tuesday evening began with a beautiful moonrise here in San Francisco. For once I was available to take advantage of this event and the weather was nice enough to get out to try and photograph the moonrise over downtown. For the astronomy inclined I found out this wasn’t the right time of year for the photo I wanted, but before I realized this I crossed paths with two local photographers. First while setting up
The weather this weekend turned out to be incredibly beautiful here in San Francisco.

The result of an 90 minutes worth of work is summed up in the follo
Now that California is getting some much needed rain and snow I’m excited to see how this Spring turns out. More immediately I’m eager to find the time to make my way back to Yosemite valley while snowy conditions are still around. It seems I can never get enough of photographing Yosemite National Park. I suppose there is nothing surprising about that. Speaking of surprises… Bridalveil Fall After A
One of the more interesting locations to get an alternate perspective on Yosemite National Park’s iconic Half Dome is Olmsted point. While Half Dome is always amazing to see anytime of the day, sunsets from Olmstead point can be particularly magical. Back in 2007 when I took this photo forest fires had ravaged surrounding areas to Yosemite and were still burning. Air quality was awful, but the smoke combined wi
While mathematics can explain our natural world with complex formulas, the basic principles of geometry can shine through from time to time. Of all my mathematical studies I found geometry the most interesting as it always had an artistic aspect to it that caught my eye. Of course later I found out how literal that interpretation would be as I learned about the Golden Ratio. While hiking through the Marin Headlands I
