Some new stuff

Just wanted to share some new stuff with you...

This is Downtown Los Angeles via 110 freeway.

I didn't anticipate this shot of a Great Egret turning out but I'm pretty pleased with the final version.

This American Kestrel was nice enough to pose for me ;o)

Patience pays off - here's proof. By sitting still long enough I got to see this Snowy Egret catch a few fish.

And here's a teaser from my trip last weekend to San Francisco. This is sunset over the Marin Headlands.

Death Valley/God's Country

I dragged my fiancee to the hottest and driest place in the country...Death Valley National Park. I had a little trouble convincing her it was really God's country but after seeing all these spots she came around ;o)...






This is Badwater - 282 feet below sea level (the lowest point in North America). All that white stuff is salt - they call it the Salt Pan. Obviously Badwater gets its name from the salty water that is undrinkable.




Many Sand Dunes are found in Death Valley.

Notice the lonely hiker in this one...

This is called The Racetrack. These large rocks are theorized to be pushed on ice and mud by high winds.

The 27 mile dirt road to get here keeps it very secluded.

Death Valley is a great place to do astrophotography.

This one has the setting moon shining down on a 20 team mule train that used to haul Borax out of mines in the 1880's.

Earth Day 2009

Anything else you're interested in is not going to happen if you can't breath the air and drink the water. Don't sit this one out, do something. --Carl Sagan

I hope you all participated in Earth Day in some way... I try to do it everyday. Here's a little something to remind us what's outside of our windows...

Shellie and Eric

Congratulations Shellie and Eric on your engagement and thank you for choosing me to photograph your wedding!

Last week I met with both of them and they seem like a great couple! It's going to be one fun wedding I'll tell you that. And they are getting married at the Supulveda Home in San Pedro so I know we're going to have a ton of cool shots.

So thanks again, I'm grateful everytime someone books me, that's for sure. I can't wait until November!
