Photo Details: Canon 1Ds Mark III, 420mm (300mm + 1.4TC), ISO 400, f/7.1, 1/320 sec Since I’ll be away for a shot while monkeying around I thought why not post a photo of a monkey. This White-headed Capuchin monkey with her baby (Cebus capucinus) was taken in Costa Rica this past April. They were part of a troupe of 50+ monkeys that moved right on by me in the jungle. Is it me or does the baby’s expressio
Two announcements that I’m happy to share: 1. I will be leading a PhotoWalk here in San Francisco from the Ferry Building to North Beach as part of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk on July 18, 2009. I invite you to sign up and join me for an evening of urban adventure. Be quick as San Francisco PhotoWalks have been filling up super quick and there are only 50 spots available. The cost is of course free.
Late morning in the Swiss Alps on this day last October was truly beauty defined. Yellow Larch trees (thank you Cynth Barnes) and an amazing turquoise Grindjesee Lake proved to be this color photographers dream subject. A little secret I can let you in on… I view photos from this location anytime I want to take a break from my hectic schedule and unwind. I lucked out witnessing this view when the lake was inc
As a follow up to Why Social Media Matters to Photographers I wanted to share some key information about Social Media connectivity I’ve learned during my time as a web marketing professional. In fact I’d like to delicately introduce you to the “birds and bees” of Social Media connectivity. When a content publisher loves his work he gently places… Yeah well I can see that analogy isnR
Most people think of Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.) as only a channel of chatter amplifying noise of millions of people or just a “fun” activity for those with too much idle time. Social Media in fact provides a means to reach a pinpoint audience in ways never before possible. As a photographer who has been sharing his work online since web browsers could first display images I’ve se
I hope everyone here in the U.S. had a great 3-day weekend. No rest for the wicked. Rather than venture out I decided to catch up on photos and churned through another 300 new images from Switzerland. While I photographed a variety of subjects I can’t help but get a chuckle out of my cow portraits. These photos were a pet project of mine, while I was capturing a variety of landscape, nature and travel photos. T
Going through an older set of images I came across this photo of Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park. This was taken from the tunnel lookout off Highway 41 as you enter Yosemite valley just as a hint of sun made its way through the clouds of a disintegrating storm. Usually I’m never short of words when it comes to photographs, but I can’t really say why I like this. Perhaps its the lighting and mute
While visiting Switzerland last Fall I was happy to have arrived in Interlaken during peak Fall color. The forests of Switzerland combined with the majestic snow covered mountains were a sight to see. Fortunately for me and perhaps you, my camera was never far from reach. Thanks to nature’s wide variety of Fall color even the most common activities, such as a train crossing a bridge, was transformed into someth
