I’m not sure what the odds are that I would see complimentary patterns aligned so well at just the perfect time. I’m not a statistician, but perhaps its ten thousand to one… a million to one… a billion to one or maybe even a trillion to one? Who knows. As photographers we often focus more on the outcome than reflecting on the experience and appreciating the odds of finding the proverbial needl

I have to admit it is very difficult for me not to photograph Seal Rock in San Francisco. There is something magical about the heart shaped arch that keeps me coming back over and over. This was taken while out photographing the Sutro Baths area with Richard Wong and Greg Lato. I’m late to the game in posting some teaser photos from this outing, but Richard and Greg both posted a few photos some time ago on the

Urban Coyotes in San Francisco are again making news. Earlier in the summer another Coyote was shot and killed by California Wildlife Services in the Presidio. On top of that another Coyote was reported killed today in the Presidio after being struck by a car. Hunters shoot aggressive coyotes in Presidio – San Francisco Chronicle Word is that the San Francisco City Board of Supervisors will be taking up the top

I was sad to learn this weekend that Wall Arch collapsed last week. This arch spanned 71 feet and was over 33 feet high. If you ever hiked through the fins in this area you’d know this arch was quite a sight to see.  Due to the tight space in which it resided getting a full shot of the arch was always challenging. Arches National Park is a landscape in flux and in time all the arches there will eventually coll

One of the more exhillerating aspects of being in the field is when you’re traveling at just the right pace to stay ahead of an approaching storm. Such was the case as I traveled through Utah and Wyoming last week. By the time I arrived at the Grand Teton National Park the storm that was on my tail had started to roll through. Once I settled on a location to photograph the Tetons I was able to enjoy the show. I

Last week on my flight out to Utah I got an amazing glimpse of the impact that the California wildfires are having on the state. The pristine Sierra Nevada mountains looked more like the Great Smokey Mountains. I suppose this is to be expected when 2000+ fires rage out of control through the state for several weeks. Even with this view from 30,000 feet it’s tough to fathom the scale of destruction and the linge

It’s official I’m back. Back from 5 days of a very hectic but relaxing travel schedule to photograph the beautiful natural landscapes of Utah and Wyoming. Not counting my flight from San Francisco to Salt Lake City I logged nearly 1100 miles in my trusty rental car. In a very strange coincidence I seem to have captured a tad over a photo per mile. As we all know it’s not the quantity of photos it is

It’s quite common to see iconic photos of San Francisco with the spans of the Golden Gate Bridge emerging from the fog, but here is a view of just the fog at sunset. On this particular evening I had no time to get in place to photograph the bridge in the fog. Instead, much closer to home, I caught a view I’ve yet to see of the fog partially covering the western portion of the city “San Francisco Sun
