A Sunday Drive

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 [...]


Huntington Beach Pier

Huntington Beach Pier

A shot from a few weeks ago, the Huntington Beach Pier after one of the big January storms cleared. 6 foot waves were crashing in to the pier, but I was experimenting with a neutral density filter and shot a 30 second exposure, creating the blurred ocean effect. Creates a completely different atmosphere for this [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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! [...]

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 [...]

I’m not sure what it is, but I just seem to be in this photography related funk lately. I have more time to take images, but I just can’t seem to capture anything that lights the fire. Looking for my muse, and as always inspired by jody and her fantastic Salton [...]
