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 […]

Yes, it’s that time of the year again! The dogwoods in Yosemite are in bloom! The white-flowering trees can be seen throughout the park, but most notably around the west end of the park, around the Merced River. The flowering should be peaking this weekend and this following week. If you get a chance to […]

One of my favorite nature photographers, Paul Nicklen, has opened his own gallery in New York City this Saturday! I hope I have the opportunity one day to fly out there and see it. In the meantime I have an e-book of his and also look at his amazing photos on his website. Please check […]

Wishing everyone around the world a belated Happy Easter! Hope you all are relaxing and enjoying the holiday. Have a great week everyone!
