Below are two pictures I took in 2016. The first one is of Lassen Peak, which I think I took from Devastated Area in June. The other is Burney Falls, which I took in October. It was nice going to Northern California twice last year. Unfortunately this year I won’t be making a trip up […]

It was another great year for the chalk artists at the Ventura Art & Street Painting Festival. Congratulations to all the artists and their fine work! Below are some images I took today, Sunday September 10th. Have a great week everyone!

Thought I’d post some more images from my Getty visit. The garden had some really great flowers blooming. Since I’m not a botanist, I’m not sure what the flowers are called. Either way, they were beautiful. The buildings of the Getty are made with 16,000 tons of travertine from Bagni di Tivoli, Italy. Below is […]

I was planning on going to the Getty Villa with my niece and sister this weekend, but unfortunately a few of the areas there were closed for remodeling until spring 2018. In the meantime we decided to go to the Getty Center. My niece had never been there, so it was kind of exciting for […]

Below is an image that I took in 2010 of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Black and white definitely told a better story than the color version. Wishing everyone a great solar eclipse experience tomorrow. I won’t be one of the many million photographers taking pictures of the event, but I do hope that some of […]

While most people are getting ready for the solar eclipse in the next week, I decided to go through my Lightroom catalog to see if I had any interesting images I haven’t processed. The image below was taken on October 30, 2010, at a park around the corner from where I grew up. The image […]

I didn’t get the perfect shot I was looking for this week for the tilt shift miniaturization effect, but below is one of the shots I was able to make. There weren’t many people in the area that morning and the sun was causing a lot of strong shadows. I’ll try again later to see […]

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 […]
