Monday I took the day off to get out and get some photography under my belt. I was joined by a good friend of mine who introduced me to some new areas to photograph iconic California Oak trees. With conditions nice and foggy it created some beautiful photographic opportunities. I have to admit this portion of the day went a lot smoother than later on when I botched some shots. During this shoot I got several good sho

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather as of late so my Friday post is going out a little late. In keeping with my water theme for the week here is a photo that has grown on me.

Self-admittedly I am a statistics junky. If I employ a service, I like to monitor the traffic and trends. I’ve done this since the day I launched my web site and I’ve done it for my Digital Railroad, Photoshelter, and PodBean (for my podcast) accounts as well.

The video itself is comprised solely of photos of a variety of technology icons who have started Web 2.0 companies that many think are way over p

The beautiful thing about California is that there are so many amazing places to take in and photograph sunrise. I’m impartial to nature and landscape subjects such as Yosemite National Park, but even catching sunrise over downtown Los Angeles can be dramatic. I couldn’t decide which sunrise photo to post, so I posted both. Here’s to a beautiful sunrise near you. Yosemite Valley Sunrise View More Ph
