North Lake Revisited

If you were following my blog last year then you might remember my unpleasant experience at North Lake. I opted to skip sunrise at North Lake with the photographers I was traveling with in favor of sunrise at the Owens River. When I met up the guys that morning they told me that a crowd [...]

Milky Way Galaxy

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a month since I photographed this but this photo was taken after a crazy day with a couple other photographers in Bishop Creek Canyon and Devils Postpile NM. Basically one of the photographers that I was traveling with hiked onto Rainbow Falls in the early evening from [...]

Bishop Creek Canyon Fall Colors – 2009

Greg Lato, Chris Chin, Bill Brothers and I spent the last weekend of September exploring Bishop Creek Canyon, the Owens River and Devils Postpile National Monument. I’d shot photos with Greg previously in the Bay Area but was my first time meeting Bill and Chris. Chris and myself were the only two that had explored [...]

Mount Rainier Aerial Photo

We could have had another full day in Vancouver but not one to have much common sense, I ended up booking a late morning flight which cost about the same as if we had taken an evening flight. AaagghhH!! It wasn’t so bad though I guess because the trip was long enough as is. Overall, [...]

Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park

Bridal Veil Falls is an incredible sight to witness. The setting is extremely lush and even more so given the rain and fog. As you could imagine, that was also a cause for frustration. At Minter Gardens I could keep my lens dry at least because I was shooting down at everything but at Bridal [...]

I Flew on a Jetplane

I just got back from a vacation to Canada with my mom. I hadn’t taken a real vacation in several years as most of my other travels during that time were for freelance work and stock photography. My mom’s family lives in Vancouver and she had been talking about wanting to go up there for [...]

Bark Beetle Disease

Bark Beetle Disease has wreaked havoc across the Western region of North America for the past several years. I had read about this wiping out vast stretches of forests in the Colorado Rocky Mountains but hadn’t really noticed it much personally going up to the San Bernardino Mountains several days ago. When driving up to [...]

Will You Marry Me, Crystal?

On Friday night, I walked out onto the scenic vista at Pelican Point, Crystal Cove State Park before heading back to the trail when I passed this couple pushing their baby in the stroller to the scenic vista. I didn’t think anything of it until I rounded the corner below when the other people going [...]

Nature Photography Multimedia Video

Nature Photography Multimedia Video Since giving the nature photography lecture at the Sierra Club in March, I had been looking for ways to get parts of my presentation online. It wasn’t until I picked up the Canon 5D Mark II recently that I was able to figure out how to put all of the pieces [...]

Moreno Valley

I would be posting a picture of the San Francisco de Asis Church in Rancho de Taos right now but my sunrise photo shoot never materialized. I got up before 5 a.m. and drove over to the church expecting to see some flood lights illuminating the exterior but that was not to be. The sky [...]
