Amazing how time flies, it seems like only yesterday that I found Lands End Labyrinth on a scenic outlook overlooking the Golden Gate bridge back in 2004.

This weekend was one of my favorite local events here in San Francisco, Bring Your Own Big Wheel (aka BYOBW). This year conditions were treacherous with heavy rain. The weather didn’t deter anyone from strapping on their costumes, straddling a tricycle meant for a small child and taking life and limb into their own hands as they descended down one of San Francisco’s curviest streets. Below is one of my fa

Recently I had an opportunity to spend some time using the Canon 800mm f/5.6 lens via BorrowLenses.com and had a blast capturing some nature and travel photos in the San Francisco bay area. Below is a video review of the lens with some example photos from my limited time with the lens. The review is not tech heavy and deals with the practical use of the lens. Overall the lens was a dream to use. I only wish the weath
