One of the most amazing things about nature is how it so easily dwarfs even the largest man made structures. I’ve taken my fair share of Golden Gate Bridge photos over the past 10 years, but my favorites are those that put this impressive structure in context to the natural world. A recent favorite is the following “San Francisco Starry Night”. Conditions were optimal on this evening to photograph f

One of the more interesting features off the San Francisco coastline is a small cluster of off shore rock formations near Sutro Baths. Under the right conditions they can take on an ethereal form for someone creatively inclined. For the thousands of birds that reside here nightly it’s just home.

Mirror Lake is one of my favorite locations in Yosemite National Park. In fact in the early 90’s I took  a photo of this view and became entranced with nature and landscape photography. The photo I took of Mirror Lake then, is now framed and displayed in my office. It is by no means special in comparison to my current work, but it is a constant reminder of my photographic roots that keeps me grounded. I look a

Sometime ago there was discussion of adult trees near the Tunnel View lookout into Yosemite being cut back. I had heard there would be public hearings to discuss the matter, but apparently that time has come and gone with minimal public notice. Mid-March the trees were removed. YosemiteDonn has posted a recent photo of the view less the trees on Flickr. The decision to remove these trees was a really bad call in my o

I was tipped off recently that something had changed in the Marin Headlands impacting future photographs of the Golden Gate Bridge. The change… a missing tree.

Regularly this small tree is in frame for most if not all Golden Gate Bridge photos that have been taken over the past couple of decades. I&#

One thing is certain, wildlife encounters invigorate the soul. Witnessing wildlife in it’s natural environment is nothing short of awe inspiring. During my last day in Yosemite this weekend I was lucky enough to encounter a Bobcat walking through snow filled meadows and light brush. This was but one of many photographs from that encounter.
