This is by far the craziest and the most dangerous photo I have ever taken in my life. Brandon is sitting on the edge of the Dead Horse Point in Moab, Utah, and if he was to fall, he was to fly about 2,000 feet down. I often get asked how we took this. It [...]
Sometimes it takes luck to come up with something worth saving. Waimea Canyon (“the Grand Canyon of the Pacific”, as Mark Twain called it) is on the Kauai island, the oldest of all islands of Hawaii. However, this angle is not the one you usually see, as we pulled over on the side of the [...]
One day I’ll be laying on my deathbed, looking back at my life. When I’ll think of 2008, this will probably be an image that will first come back to my memory. I think I enjoyed watching Maks grow more than anything else that’s happened to us that year. This was the first time I [...]

While driving around in Napa Valley, I kept looking for this very scene – a farm with an easy access and rows of grape trees extending into the horizon. Finally, as we took a turn, I saw this spot, just as I visualized it. We immediately turned around and I had to take this picture. [...]
I have no chance of taking this kind of image of Maks again. First, his feet no longer look this cute. Second, no chance he’s laying awake like this in a lit room. Third, no chance he’s laying at all while I have my camera in my hands. So to you young parents out there [...]
I debated for a while whether I should include this one or not as part of my portfolio, since it’s pretty much just a family shot, but I thought I would anyway, as this shot is one of a kind in my collection. Those of us who are parents can appreciate how hard it is [...]
Here is a more traditional view of the the James ‘Sunny Jim’ Rolph Bridge, aka the Bay Bridge, taken on Embarcadero walkway right before sun appeared. It was a good place to start a day. After trying shots at longer exposures when water is smooth and shorter exposures when waves are frozen in time, I [...]
One of the ways to get images you normally would not get is sometimes just to turn around. I remembered that advise from Jay Maisel that I read not long ago on Scott Kelby’s blog, and this is exactly what I had to do to capture this image. I was taking a picture of the [...]
The storms that you see in high altitudes in the desert are unlike any other. I was visiting Provo, Utah (elevation 4,551ft) on a business trip when I took this image. This was taken at Utah Lake very near the same spot where Plate 1 image was taken, except looking in the opposite direction. I [...]
