Rainbow Vista
You could probably spend years exploring Valley of Fire and find new things every day. This place is amazing. Rainbow Vista reminds me of one of my favorite ice cream flavors, rainbow sherbet… See more of my Nevada photos. Tweet
The Milky Way at Valley of Fire
My friend, Don, was in Las Vegas attending a conference for most of the week so I drove up to meet up with him and hangout for a few days after the conference ended. He’s from Chicago and I met him at the same conference last year so I figured this would be a good [...]
Oak Glen Apple Picking
Samantha and I went apple picking in Oak Glen for the first time yesterday. It’s a big attraction around this time of year so there were lots of people with the same idea as us. Our first stop was the Willowbrook Apple Farm to do some U-pick apple picking. The people at the farm were [...]
Space Shuttle Endeavour
Anyone that has been in L.A. over the past several weeks has probably either gotten a glimpse of Space Shuttle Endeavour flying overhead or heard about it on the news. Today, they began transporting Endeavour on the ground from LAX to the California Science Center. Since driving through the area and parking would have been [...]
The Best Light for Landscape Photography
When I first started off shooting photos a decade ago, I naively believed what I’d read in the photography magazines and how-to books about how the best light for landscape photography was during the “magic hour” around sunrise and sunset so most of my photography reflected that. After a while though, I realized how limiting [...]
Rainbow Over Pasadena City Hall
I’ve long envisioned taking a photo with a rainbow over Pasadena’s City Hall but it’s not exactly an easy feat to pull off considering that the Los Angeles area doesn’t rain very often. Even if it rains, other factors include the positioning of the sun (assuming the sun is even visible during a storm), and [...]
Lake Mary
Since our campground was located nearby, it made it really easy to just hop out of the tent on the last morning of the trip and head over to Lake Mary to shoot sunrise within minutes. There was another photographer that was already there by the time I had arrived but we stayed clear of [...]
Mono Lake Panoramic
Right before we went for the fish tacos, we hiked this cool volcano trail adjacent to Mono Lake and got this panoramic view of the whole landscape. Mono Lake is much bigger than just the South Tufa area that seems to attract all the photographers. Click on the above photo to see a larger version. [...]
Devils Postpile
Devils Postpile is one of the more surreal California landscapes that I’ve encountered. We stopped by the columnar basalt on the way to Rainbow Falls just after the crack of dawn. Unfortunately it was not long after this point that I realized I had left something out in our campsite in the Lake Mary area [...]
The Best Fish Tacos Are From a Gas Station?
There are several dishes that I consider myself a connoisseur of and fish tacos are one of them. The majority of fish tacos that I’ve tried have been average to awful to put in bluntly. In the awful category, you’re likely to feel sick from an oil overdose after eating the fish taco. There are [...]
