JTNP: Sunrise on Mount San Gorgonio

Sunrise Alpenglow on Mount San Gorgonio, Joshua Tree National Park, California There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and yet it was definitely worthwhile getting up early. I had actually tried a similarly composed sunset last year but wasn’t able to get a sharp image so that was my primary motivation for choosing this location. [...]

Cholla Cactus Garden

Cholla Cactus Garden, Joshua Tree National Park, California The Cholla Cactus Garden at Joshua Tree National Park was one of the locations I photographed in 2002 during my first year of serious photography. I had always felt like I could do better but just never seem to have made it back there. I have been [...]

San Gabriel Mountains – First Winter Storm

Snow-Capped Peaks, San Gabriel Mountains, California It ain’t Mount Rainier, and that’s the beauty of it. I’m more interested in photographing the more mundane places that people take for granted. After dropping my dad off yesterday, it took me about twenty minutes to get up to this vista in the San Gabriel Mountains just in [...]

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving Sunset 2008, San Gabriel Mountains, California Last night’s sunset. I was dropping my dad off when I looked over at the San Gabriel Mountains and knew I had to go up there to shoot the sunset. I was the last person to arrive at my grandma’s house for dinner. See more of my San [...]

Glendora South Hills Home Development

San Gabriel Valley Sunset, Glendora, California I heard today that “developers” are planning on developing over my favorite exercise hiking trail in the Glendora South Hills with homes and a road. This really makes me angry because there are already a few extremely large mansions near the end of these hills along with no trespassing [...]

Owens Valley Overlook

Owens Valley Overlook from U.S. Highway 395, Eastern Sierra, California I had spent the night at Mammoth Lakes where it had rained all night and through the morning. Despite the rain I went to Lake Mary a little bit after “sunrise” to see what the conditions were like. The rain turned to snow and it [...]

Mammoth Mountain Snow

First Winter Storm, Mammoth Lakes, California Waking up to a scene like this is a slice of heaven that I want to experience every morning. This photo was taken on the final morning of the Eastern Sierra trip. I had a long drive ahead of me in addition to some planned photography shoots along the [...]

Tufa Silhouette

Tufa Silhouette and Crescent Moon, Mono Lake, California It is my 29th birthday on Sunday so I’ll leave you with this story… Almost all of the pictures of Mono Lake that I have seen, look pretty similar. Foreground of tufa, warm clouds at sunset and water. For some reason I felt compelled to stay a [...]

Sierra Wave, Mono Lake

Sierra Wave over South Tufa Reserve, Mono Lake, California One of the coolest things to photograph in the Eastern Sierras are the incredible lenticular clouds, otherwise known as the “sierra wave.” They tend to pick up a lot of color once the sun goes down and fills up the entire sky. The light was a [...]

Tufa, Mono Lake

Tufa (Calcium Carbonate Deposits), Mono Lake, California The nice thing about having a photo blog is being able to give greater insight into what goes into the making of a photograph. In other words, it’s nice to be able to write about all the crazy stuff I do in order to get pictures. Or maybe [...]
