Rocks, Water, Leaves, and Moss - McGee Creek, Bishop-ish, California. October, 2025 - I spent some time along the creek waiting for the light to get good. You could argue I spent too much time here and nearly missed it. Oh well. This is nice too.

In closing arguments, defense attorney Sabrina Shroff argued that a sandwich could not and did not cause harm.

“This case, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is about a sandwich,” she said.

Because screw you.

Rock and Leaves
I set up along a creek waiting for the light to get good. There were opportunities in the meantime, like these leaves that settled on this large rock in the creek. October, 2025.

I hiked along McGee Creek on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised by how well this area had been sheltered from the recent wind storms.

I sat on this photograph for 3+ years and I'm still not 100% stoked on the edit. Somewhere along Tuolumne River, July 2022. #photography #landscape #yosemite

Today I volunteered to run a photo booth at our annual Harvest Festival. I used my ancient Canon ID Mk II, 8.2-megapixel from 2004. The weather was iffy and kids were running around. It's water resistant and built like a tank. The old guy did fine. So did the camera. #photography #santacruzmountains

Sensorio, Paso Robles, CA - My beloved wife and I visited this amazing outdoor art project a couple of years ago. Thousands of fiberoptic cables light the landscape after dark.

Early morning paddle. Somewhere in the Eastern Sierras. October, 2015.
I'm going to try posting daily for a while. A lot of what I photograph is landscapes and portraits. Landscapes have always spoken to me because the world is art. People because they're always unique.

I saw a comment on this by a man wondering how many people also captured this with a cel phone in the same place at the same time. The answer is none. You make this with a very long lens, solid tripod, and planning. Cel phone are cute for wide angles.
Italian photographer Valerio Minato spent six years planning a perfectly aligned shot of the Moon with Turin’s Basilica of Superga and Monviso. Weather delays thwarted annual chances until December 2023, when a crescent Moon with visible da Vinci glow completed his long-envisioned composition
