I can’t think of a better place to watch a sunset within the driving distance from where I live than Yosemite. This is where we spent the Saturday with the family. The purpose of the trip was not really photographic, and I did not visit any unique spots. We simply wanted to go hiking and [...]
About 15 of us or so got together last night for a night time DMU photowalk at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. We haven’t done one of these in the Bay Area for a while, so it was good to get together again with some old friends and do some shooting. I’ll be posting the photos [...]
One of the popular spots in San Jose is this complex called Santana Row. It’s an upscale shopping mall and apartment complex located near Campbell.

After over two years of living in the Bay Area, on Saturday I finally visited San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts, and the afternoon was well spent. If you have the chance, I highly recommend a visit, and I’ll tell you why. I initially went wanting to see the new exhibit that opened couple of [...]
As I mentioned earlier, I just got back from the vacation back to my hometown of Moscow, Russia, which was the first trip for me in a while. I haven’t visited since I started photography, so it was interesting for me to immerse myself back to a familiar place, but with a different cultural approach [...]
