It’s been the longest time since I uploaded a new photograph online, ever since I started shooting back in 2007. I’ve blogged about the slump in one of my earlier posts. Either way, it’s great to be shooting again. This was taken last Sunday as the new spring storm was arriving to the West Coast. [...]
Davenport, California Another shot from one February sunset on the coast. There’s something about standing there in the water while taking shots like this that make them more personal – at least for me.
How about a color photograph for a change? Last Saturday was another unusually warm day for this time of the year in Northern California. The temperature was close to 80 degrees. What’s even better we had some beautiful high clouds hanging over the area. With not much to do, we heeaded over to the nearby [...]
I am finally getting around the images I took in the last couple of months. This one is from an outing to my favorite Big Sur spot, Garrapata Beach, with Jim Patterson and Josh Cripps. This was one of the first winter storms that came into the area. I think we caught the tail end [...]
The trouble with getting up early for a sunrise here in Northern California, is that it’s much harder to predict the outcome. We learned that lesson once again this morning.

Earlier this morning I had a chance to play with my new 10-stop ND filter “Big Stopper” from Lee. I finally got it in the mail after ordering it almost four months ago. So far I’m impressed. I’ll play more with it this weekend, and will leave a more detailed review later. This photograph is [...]
This is another shot from an outing with Patrick Smith to the Big Sur where we witnessed what probably was the best light of the season. The color was changing every minute in different parts of the sky and we had to be aware of what was going by taking our eyes off the viewfinder. [...]
When I was in my junior year of college, I had to pick a location where I wanted to work and live following my graduation. I wasn’t going back to Moscow where I grew up, as I decided to stay in the States for a while. I did not want to live where winters are [...]
I still have a few more photos left to post from the previous outings to the Big Sur in the past few weeks, so here is another one. I have a feeling that our winter is now over and we’re slowly entering a period of boredom when weeks pass by without a cloud in the [...]
And yet another photo from the Garrapata Beach. Do you think I like this beach? Before the winter began I set a goal to build a winter set from a spot or several spots around the Big Sur area. It just happened that this place turned out to be Garrapata Beach, a place I visited [...]
