A visual journey through Northern California’s Coastal Redwoods and its wild coastline. The world, we are told, was made especially for man — a presumption not supported by all the facts. — John Muir No matter how much you try, the mind and circumstances tend to conspire in ways to unsettle your soul. And when … Continue reading Walking Among The Giants
A few weeks back, I visited Bolinas. It was one of those bucolic days that we often take for granted in California. The temperature hovered somewhere between that of a lukewarm cup of mint tea and water from the tap. A bead of sweat would break after a long walk, only to evaporate with the … Continue reading Lone Surfer: the story of one photo.
I recently spent a weekend in an Airbnb in a North California beach town. I enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and tranquil days. But what I loved the most was taking a walk every morning — submerged in a marine layer that sat on the town like a blanket. And on my daily walks, this family … Continue reading Deer in the mist
The weather in San Francisco is pretty much the same throughout most of the year. It usually only varies by about ten degrees. The cold means wearing a sweater in the morning with a jacket. A warm day involves wearing just a light cotton sweater. Either way, you dress in layers. The seasons of the … Continue reading Faster & faster it goes as the seasons’ change

I try not to talk as much about my professional progress. As writing about technology became … Continue reading 2019: My visual journey
Am I the only one who finds the desktop image for Apple’s latest macOS update, Catalina, less than stellar. After decades of beautiful visages of California’s majestic landscapes, I find the most recent edition quite a disappointment. Catalina Island is quite beautiful, especially when seen from the air. Capturing photos of islands off the coast … Continue reading [Photos] Catalina, the island, not the macOS
Mirrorless camera technology has given us the ability to use adapters and put vintage lenses to work with our modern systems. This combination of heritage with technology can often result in a unique look and feel to our images. Even though I primarily use Leica SL with the APO version of its Summicron 50 mm … Continue reading Adventures with Leica SL2 & a vintage Noctilux lens
Mile Rock Beach, San Francisco, September 2017. Made with Fuji x100F. ISO 200, 3s at f/16 using an f2/23mm (35mm equivalent on full frame lens.) Continue reading Mile Rock Beach
I was in Stinson Beach earlier this year and decided to take a walk in the morning. The sunrise was nearly perfect and the colors were amazing. I was glad I brought my camera. Here are a handful of photos. Enjoy! Continue reading “Sunrise in Stinson Beach”
