Here’s a flashback shot to when I went on an impromptu weekend trip to Arizona. Who would have thought me asking a friend “what are you up to this weekend?” would end up in me joining him on a two day road trip? I’m way too old for this….or am I? I know how some…
That Darned Rogue Wave
My friend Elizabeth and I headed down to the beach last week when we had one of those rare cloudy evenings (quite rare so, in the summer) that is a photographers paradise. I was a little anxious because one of my friends lost his camera to the Ocean just the weekend before, when a rogue…
City Scapes
I’m more of a nature/landscape photographer, but wanted to give urban photography a try, so I brought my camera with me for a Downtown LA walk on 4th of July weekend. Downtown LA really lights up at night, and it’s surprisingly quiet and peaceful. As you can see, there is barely a person in sight….
Channeling Ansel
Going to Yosemite made me think a lot about Ansel Adams and his stunning black and white photography of the Yosemite Valley. He is right: there is something about black and white that captures the beauty and detail of a photograph that color sometimes distracts us from. So here is my attempt at channeling Ansel:…

Feeling Flighty
Once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Up up and Away
I did not get the chance to do this in Turkey, so here my chance to view hot air balloons locally in California. I’m sure the aerial views must be breathtaking from above, but since the rides are a bit out of my price range, I had to settle for a view from below. Good…
Looking down
I spontaneously joined in on a friends road trip out to AZ this weekend to the Grand Canyon. While I’ve been to the Grand Canyon a few times before, I’ve never seen it from the North rim before, and when he invited me, I jumped at the opportunity. The Grand Canyon isn’t for someone with…
A candid moment
There is nothing more honest than a candid shot. Our whole group gathered down by the sand and a break out dance session occurred shortly after. We were all truly happy, enjoying the moment and being able to dance whenever we wanted, just because we felt like it. Here is quote that this reminds me…
