This is one of my favorite skyline photographs of downtown San Francisco. The pre-dawn light in combination with the glow of the buildings across downtown made for a special capture. As it turns out over the years this has been a favorite of others who have visited my web site as well. First featured on my web site in 2004 as part of my San Francisco Labyrinths write-up it’s been viewed hundreds of thousands of
This Weeks Friday Freebie iPad Wallpaper: Big Sur Surf Friday Freebie features an image to liven up your iPad display with images from my travels… all for free. Last week I received some inquiries to desktop wallpaper. For the time being I’m going to stick to iPad wallpaper, but inevitably I will expand to include desktop wallpaper. Stay tuned. This particular photo was taken the same day I photographed B
Stormy sunsets on the coast never cease to amaze. I consider myself quite lucky to live so close to amazing coastal scenery. As I gaze out to such dramatic scenes I can’t help but think of artists before me who defined the west coast tradition of photography. With such huge footprints to follow in I always think to the following quote: …to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a r

It’s hard to believe but it has been 3 years since I was in Los Angeles for ASMP’s Strictly Business 2 event as an attendee absorbing as much as I could about professional photography best business practices. 3 years later I’m returning to LA for ASMP’s Strictly Business 3 event as a guest panelist on new business models.

In 2010 I had a great time behind the camera and I was fortunate to have been present for some amazing moments including the birth of my son (the ultimate experience). While I’ve ranked my best photos in years past (best photos of 2009, best photos of 2008 and best photos of 2007) this year I’m finding it impossible to do.

It’s not often I’ve watched snowfall and by that I mean “watch” snow fall. As a child I’ve waited for snowfall to end in order to be let out to play and as an adult I’ve darted from point A to B in a car while it has started to snow, but in both of these instances my mind was elsewhere preoccupied on other goals and activities. To simply watch snow fall is amazing, and to rediscove
This year has been full of highs and lows, but amidst it all we’ve found each other here. For that I thank you for joining me on my blog. Here’s to many more days of sharing an amazing art… photography. Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
