Leaving Hong Kong, 2018. I haven't been back since. I miss the boundless energy, the delicious food, the friendly (and sometimes crazy) people.

Always happy to see one of my photos decorating a satisfied client's home, especially when the photo is a personal favorite. Aspens near Bishop Creek, Eastern Sierra, California.

The Wachau valley, along the Danube in lower Austria, is famous for its scenic vineyards, abbeys, and castles. Towards the end of our ride, we took a ferry across the Danube to the lovely town of Rossatz-Arnsdorf. Bonus points if you can find the rock climber in this scene.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) requires holding a camera in hand, motioning up and down/back and forth to create a painterly effect, photos that are abstract impressions of the subject. Two aspen groves and rabbitbrush, the ubiquitous yellow flowers that carpet the arid western US.

At the end of October, my daughter asked me to watch the Orionid Meteor Shower with her from our dock on Donner Lake. On the evening of October 22nd we programmed my camera to take 15 second exposures every minute for the next three hours. Thanks Lindsay for working with me to make this photo!

The hundred year old Széchenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest is the largest thermal bath in Europe. The Baroque-style buildings were opened to the public in 1913. The complex includes three outdoor and 15 indoor pools of varying temperatures. And yes, it still gets mighty crowded.
