Cameras today are amazing! Most high-end cameras now seem to be able to do it all: Still photography; Time lapse; Video. While I feel pretty confident doing still and time lapse, video always seems to be the missing link for me. I love watching videos, but creating them seems to be on a different level […]

When I was on my trip and commuting from Mammoth to Yosemite on a daily basis, I noticed a lot of different photo opportunities along highway 395. One that really pulled me in was the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains with the thunderstorm clouds overhead. I thought that the clouds and the open landscape would make […]

I’m back from my trip to Mammoth and Yosemite. I stayed an extra day up there because it was too beautiful to leave. The weather on Saturday around the East park entrance was about 67 degrees Fahrenheit while it was 93 degrees Fahrenheit in Yosemite Valley. You can guess I spent most of the time […]

I’m up in Yosemite and Mammoth again. This time I’m in the higher elevation in Yosemite and there is still a lot of snow and ice! Below is a picture of Tioga Lake with ice. Last year at this time there was no ice, so I was really surprised to see it this year. I’m […]

I always like going to the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles and mentioning it on my blog, but not everyone lives in Los Angeles and is able to go there. Since this is the case, I’ve compiled a list of photography museums across the U.S. and across the world that I’d like to […]

I’m always on the look out for inspiration to keep my photography and photography dreams alive. I’ve found inspiration in music, in various forms of art, and of course in other photographer’s photographs. However, the one place where I find some of the best inspiration is in stories of people who do extraordinary things and […]

The great thing about my up coming trip to Yosemite is that there are multiple opportunities to take great pictures at different elevations and in different environments. I’ve done sunrise shots in the higher and lower elevations and a few sunset shots around Yosemite Valley. Since I’ll be spending a bulk of my time on […]

I’m preparing for a trip to Mammoth and Yosemite in the next month. This time I’ve decided to hike in an area just South of Tenaya Lake. The trail is about 14.5 miles round trip and should take a good portion of one day. The location I’m hiking to is called Clouds Rest and is […]

I didn’t think this weekend was going to be so busy! I usually post a blog on Sunday, but will be busy most of the day. I’ll try posting later in the week. Hope everyone has a great weekend and a great week coming up!

My latest camera is a mirrorless camera. At first I thought I was going to have a hard time adjusting to an electronic view finder and all the different features one has to offer, but after a few weeks I found that it was much better than I had hoped for. Do I think other […]
