Unplug Your Life

I have a confession: I do not own a smartphone anymore. I work in front of a computer enough as is, both out of necessity to earn a living but also for fun.  The side effect of this is that it makes me value my real life even more so I don’t want to waste [...]

Rebel Without a Cause

I’ve always thought that James Dean was a cool dude so I had been looking for his memorial for several years. I knew it was somewhere along highway 46 near Cholame but kept passing it apparently without seeing it. This time, I saw a sign at the intersection of highways 46 and 41, that referred [...]

The Best Hikes

The best hikes are the ones that offer the most solitude. I had been to the Santa Rosa Plateau once before to photograph the Vernal Pools, but that trail is so popular that it was more of a zoo-like environment there. This time (a week ago) since there was no water at the Vernal Pools [...]

Showing the Same Damn Thing

“…you may get it in half a roll; you may use five rolls and never get it. What I don’t understand is five rolls showing the same damn thing.” – William Albert Allard I’ve been photographing the Huntington on a regular basis for nearly an entire year now. My goal through this has always been [...]

Photography is Like Jazz

I typically like to spend my New Years Eve doing landscape photography. That was the plan for this past NYE as well so it began with a hike to Solstice Canyon Falls but things were not going according to plan almost from the beginning. It began with me realizing that I had forgotten my backpack [...]

Blooming Trees at The Huntington

I noticed several cherry tree blossoms in my neighborhood so I figured that perhaps The Huntington might have some trees in bloom too. See more of my Huntington Gardens pictures. Tweet

Sedona Scenic Landscape

This is the local Sedona icon trophy photo. In my three visits, I’ve never been blessed with good light so I just make do with what’s available. Though the Cathedral Rocks are featured on every postcard rack in Arizona I still was surprised by how many photographers were out here even in the dreary late [...]

Dinosaur Hall at Natural History Museum of L.A. County

The L.A. Natural History Museum opened a new wing of their museum last summer devoted entirely to dinosaurs. I had been wanting to go since it opened and finally made it there last month during the holiday season. It was definitely worth the wait. They had gigantic fossils on display including the mamenchisauraus which barely [...]

Native American Arts and Crafts

One of the things I like to do when visiting the southwest is to see what Native American crafts are for sale. You can easily find authentic vendors selling these items outdoors at tourist locations and sometimes in remote areas along the highway. In this instance, the lady who crafted these items was at the [...]

West Fork Oak Creek Canyon

The West Fork Oak Creek Canyon trail was one of the places I went to during my first visit to Arizona in January 2003. I thought it was a very interesting location with potential so I had always wanted to visit again. My first visit was a bit difficult to navigate since the creek was [...]
