A Sunday Drive
We’ve been itching for a roadtrip, so when we discovered that we had a free day on Sunday we decided to take a jaunt to the desert for an afternoon drive – slash – photo tour. A few days ago I was talking to a friend about the Salton Sea and I realized it has [...]
Welcome Back!
Ok, I didn’t actually go anywhere. Between the Olympics, having a cold, and just general laziness…I haven’t been all that diligent about the updates. And I definitely haven’t been in the mode of working on a new set of photos, though I did find a number of shots from a trip to Yosemite in 2007 [...]
Kabootars
Another “deep dive” (ok, maybe today isn’t such a deep dive) in to one of the photos featured in “scenes of india“.
Prior to heading to a new location I like to do research, identify interesting locations, customs, buildings, etc. in search of photo opportunities. When reading up on the city of Agra, you have the [...]
Jama Masjid
A second deeper look in to one of the photos that make up “scenes of india“, a photographic journey through India.
Jama Masjid is one of the largest mosques in India and sits in the heart of Old Delhi. The courtyard, partially seen in the photo above, can hold up to 25,000 people. The Muslim community [...]
Fishing At the Feet Of God
Over the next few weeks I will be profiling some of the photos from my first publications, “scenes of india”.
The first photo profiled, Fishing At the Feet of God, is also the cover shot for the book. The photo features the Taj Mahal, as seen from Mehtab Bagh across the Yamuna River. The Taj Mahal [...]
scenes of india
I am pleased to announce the availability of “scenes of india”, a photographic journey through India. My first publicly available photography publication.
Scenes of India explores the life and times of urban Indian life in the cities of New Delhi, Gurgaon, Kolkata, and Agra. 70+ black and white photos printed on premium photo paper with a [...]
A Visit to Los Angeles
Wow, it definitely has been a dreary few days here in Southern California, anyone starting to go stir crazy yet? So it would appear that dream job #2 is not going to happen at this time. Disappointing, but at the same time it was always a long shot.
The photo above is from Mulholland Drive where [...]
Agra Fort
I’ve finished the editing and the first proof of the book, Scenes of India, is being printed and should be delivered in the next few days. The above photo, taken at Agra Fort in India is one of the included photos. After reviewing the book I’ll make it available for purchase and I’m sure it [...]
A Trip to Amboy
Today Sierra took her first roadtrip with us. For a 3 month old puppy she did remarkably well, even if she hasn’t quite figured out that it’s ok to go to the bathroom at rest stops. It would appear that we potty trained her too well!
After reading about Amboy, California in Richard Wong’s blog we [...]
Street Scenes in India
I’ve made some serious progress over the last few days on the book project. 150 photos edited, and now it’s time to down select and cut around 100 photos from the list and determine color, black and white, or both (and yes I realized I probably should have down selected before editing all the images, [...]
Bananas
Today is an “odd” photography day. While in the midst of some of the best photography shoots I’ve had over the last couple of weeks, including making a jump back in to film and thoroughly enjoying that experience…I suddenly feel like I’m in a photography rut. Maybe it’s the process of editing 100 some odd [...]

Chichen Itza
Nothing really new to say. Just need to update some sitemaps to register with bing and yahoo search services and need a post to start the process automatically!
This photo is from Chichen Itza, one of the new seven wonders of the world. What I find most amazing about it, is the fact I was able [...]
India at 30km/h and random thoughts for a Thursday
One of the cool things about “starting the blog from scratch” is that I can re-use a lot of old photos without worrying about duplication! This photo is from a roadside store outside of Agra, in India and is included in my India at 30km/h photo essay. Shot from a window in a moving car, [...]
San Diego Skyline at Night
A classic scene from the city of San Diego as seen from Coronado Island along the boardwalk. 30 second exposure while hoping that the water taxis or a boat wouldn’t enter the frame.
We had an enjoyable day, deciding to visit San Diego and the grandbaby. After spending some time at the Chula Vista Nature Center [...]
Temples of Ayutthaya
Temples of Ayutthaya, a collection of photographs from the ancient Thailand capital of Ayutthaya.
Sierra Roadtrip
Oct 13 2009 (originally posted)
As many of you who have followed this blog for awhile know I absolutely love the Sierra Nevada Mountains, especially the Eastern Sierra’s. So, when my father called and asked if we wanted to take their timeshare in Lake Tahoe due to their scheduling conflicts…we knew we had to [...]
A Day Well Spent
Sep 27 2009 (originally posted)
On Friday Andree and I decided to take a jaunt throw Los Angeles. We started at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City. The space had a Pictures of the Year exhibition documenting some of the greatest moments in photography for the year 2008, amazing and powerful pieces of work. [...]
Valley Rays
Sep 15 2009 (originally posted)
Andree and I took a fabulous road trip along Highway 79 to Julian, California on Monday. The first time I had ventured along this roadway and I absolutely loved the rolling valleys and hills. We were treated to an incoming storm as the sun started to set, which created some [...]

We’re back!
It was a glorious trip up Pacific Coast Highway and camping in Big Sur. As it was the first time I had traveled that route I had no idea what I was in store for, an amazing area with one scene more beautiful than the other. Alas, it wasn’t without [...]
Goodbye God, We’re Going to Bodie
May 25 2009 (originally posted)
Rumor has it, a young girl uttered those immortal words before leaving to Bodie, California. The land of riches and dreams for some, and hell for others. One of the best preserved ghost towns in California, if not the United States, Bodie is a California State Historic Park in the Basin [...]
Newport Beach Pier

Hola…another Holga shot!
Last week Andree and I took advantage of the time off and took a quick jaunt down to Newport Beach Pier. It was a nice little chance to play around with the Holga. Some things I learned…always check to ensure the film wrapper doesn’t stick to the camera lens! [...]
Quixote’s Nightmare Redux
Apr 27 2009 (originally posted)
Yesterday was an amazing day. We started with a hike to Suicide Rock near Idyllwild and as luck would have it were near a great vista of the Palm Springs windmill farms in the San Gorgiono pass as the sun was starting to go down.
We pulled up right as the sun [...]
Our View

Hello from Tulum! After a pleasant morning in Playa Del Carmen (sun!) on the beach and a last dip in the rooftop jacuzzi we took a taxi to Tulum.
You picture tropical Mexico, the sand, the azure blue sea, the palm trees….it’s nothing like when you first hit the top of the [...]
