I was out shopping this morning and wanted to experiment with my tilt shift lens. Today was the perfect day since it was overcast for the early hours of the morning. Below are a couple of photos I took. The first one is of a wall mural on a large building and the other is […]

I went to see the film Dunkirk this weekend. It ended up being a very well put together film. While it is based on the situations that happened at Dunkirk during World War II, all the characters were fictitious. I was kind of hoping there would be some characters in the film based on real […]

It’s been pretty warm here in Southern California lately. The weekdays haven’t been so bad, but the weekends have had warmer temperatures. Below is a fountain at the shopping center near where I live. In the afternoon, kids can play in the fountain and cool off. The different jets of water jump up and down […]

I spent Saturday with my sister and niece at the California Science Center in downtown Los Angeles. I was happy to be in an air conditioned building the whole day because Southern California had a very hot weekend. It was about 112 degrees as we drove through the northern half of the San Fernando Valley! […]

I’m always looking at other art for inspiration in my photography. One place that has some really great art is where I get my groceries on the weekends. It has a number of mosaic installations on planters, on the ground, and on the walls. Below are a few photos of those mosaics up close. The […]

During the last day of my recent trip to the Eastern Sierra, I was really hesitant about leaving. I left Mammoth at about 9:30am, but didn’t feel like making the drive home yet. Since Tioga Pass wasn’t open, I had to take hwy 395, but decided to wait until later that afternoon to go down […]

I went to the Annenberg Space for Photography today and checked out their latest exhibit: Generation Wealth. The exhibit contains photos by Lauren Greenfield and brings to light how America and other countries view wealth and wanting more of it. The photos also show how people can become obsessed with wanting more and how it […]

Since there was so much snow in Mammoth on my trip to the Eastern Sierra, I had to rethink my hiking plans. I decided to spend some time around the sand tufas in Mono Lake on one of the days. Below is a photo I took at the south tufas. It was an overcast day, […]

I’m back! It was an interesting trip up to the Eastern Sierra. There were no hiking trails open in Mammoth due to all the heavy snow they had this last winter. I ended up doing about 95% of my hikes around the June Lake area. I found some great hiking trails there! Below is a […]

It’s hard to say if Tioga Pass is going to be open when I go up to the Eastern Sierra after Memorial Day. The snow plows are making great progress, but they’re met with snow as deep as 8 to 10 feet. Caution has to be used when plowing because you never know if there […]
