It’s the 4th of July here in the United States and I was thinking of going out and taking some photos of fireworks. Unfortunately I couldn’t come up with a game plan fast enough on where to go and I think there are going to be too many people to maneuver around throughout the city. […]

This weekend I decided to go through my Lightroom catalog and do some much needed cleaning. When I first started using Lightroom years ago, I didn’t really have good knowledge of how the software worked. Now I’m slowly cleaning up mistakes and getting more organized with not only my workflow, but my archiving of images. […]

I’ve began confirming my plans for my trip in the fall. So far I’ve decided to spend a few days up the California Coastline near Eureka and photograph the redwood trees and the ocean. The second half of the trip will be (as if this is a surprise) around the south end of Yosemite. It’ll […]

During my trip to Mammoth and Yosemite, I had the opportunity to go to Devils Postpile and hike around the area. It had been a while since I had visited that area, so it was nice to see it again. When I was really young (about 13 years old), my mother, sister, and I hiked […]

Sorry it took me two weeks to update my blog, but my trip to the Sierras was so great and I had very little time to work on the computer. I had an amazing time last week in Mammoth and Yosemite! It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect! There are a number of […]

It’s been a busy weekend! It’s a holiday (Memorial Day) this weekend, so I’ve been relaxing and finishing up my schedule of things I want to do on my trip to the Sierras. I had a little time tonight to catch the sunset at the beach, so I tried a panorama photo with my iPad. […]

In the most recent edition of the magazine is an inspirational article written by photographer Guy Tal called “Wake Up!” The article basically talks about photographers and to what lengths they go to pursue their dreams. It’s […]

First off: Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of the world! Second: It has been kind of a slow weekend. I’m gearing up for my trip to the Sierras in the next few weeks…and more snow is on the way at the end of this week up there! I find it odd that there […]

Wow! It seems that the next day after I wrote last weeks blog entry, the Yosemite website posted the date Tioga Pass would be re-opening. As of this blog entry, the road will re-open tomorrow (May 4th) at 8am! The site last week mentioned that they had begun plowing the road a couple of days […]

There always seems to be too much sunshine in Southern California. I tend to like cloudy, rainy, cooler days. When those days do come along, I’m at my best and happier. Strange that a darker day can make someone happy. There were a couple of days this last week that were really cloudy and made […]
