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 […]
It’s Beautiful Up Here!
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 […]
Photography Museums National And International
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 […]
A New Inspiration
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 […]
Photographing Stars
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 […]
It’s Yosemite Time Once Again And A New Exhibit Coming To The Annenberg
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 […]
Busy Weekend!
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!
Are More People Turning To Mirrorless?
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 […]
In The Foreground: Anja Niedringhaus
I hadn’t intended to do another “In The Foreground” profile for a while, but I felt that I needed to do one this week for a very important person who left our world suddenly a little over a week ago. I’ve always had great respect for photographers who cover war stories because I know there […]
In The Foreground: Cristina Mittermeier
Now and then I’ll be highlighting photographers on my blog who have either moved photography in a new or different direction or have inspired me as a photographer. Today’s “In The Foreground” focuses on a photographer who has created quite an amazing portfolio and, with the help of her photography skills, has brought to light […]
