I’m really slow processing the photos from that night, because I’m still bitter about that evening. The evening at Garrapata Beach at Big Sur was going fine. Beautiful light, no wind, big waves (it was the day before the Mavericks competition took place), no one but me and a few teenagers at the beach. What [...]
Some shots get you really into the scene, like this one. Last Sunday was another cloudy post-stormy day here in Northern California, and I met up with Jim Patterson and Kendra back at Garrapata Beach. This time around it was a negative tide, so many layers of sand were gone, revealing all kinds of big [...]
It’s that time of the year again on the Pacific Coast when the storms come out, when the crowds disappear and when each sunset is rich with variety of color. With that in mind, I drove down to Santa Cruz last night to shoot at a new location where I have not shot before. Natural [...]
.. I’m beginning a new series with this image that I’d like to title “Where I Belong”.
I have few more of more abstract shots to post like the one I posted yesterday, but before I go that route, I wanted to post a more straight forward view of the redwood trees that I caught on the same day. Some photos help us remember not the visual sense of the place, but [...]

Just received this in my email: This afternoon held some “good news, bad news” for California’s state park system. The bad news first – the Legislature’s Budget Conference Committee voted to adopt the Governor’s proposal to eliminate core, state funding for our state parks. But the good news – and it’s good!- is that the [...]
The first Panther Beach clean up that we organized was a success. There were a total of five of us who showed up and two more got lost on the way and ended up cleaning the beach nearby. It is amazing how much trash there was on such a little piece of the coast – [...]
Panther Beach, Davenport, California Today was the Panther Beach clean up and I’m happy to report, five of us turned up and had a great time. We gathered up at least 10 bags of trash, and following that, Mother Nature treated us nicely with some clouds that rolled in just as we pulled our cameras [...]
