Carrizo Badlands
The last week or so, we’ve been having a bit of rain here in San Diego and, as the most recent storm cleared this morning, there were some interesting cloud formations around the area. I thought it might be interesting to see if the clouds made it over the mountains into the Anza-Borrego Desert. They…

Red Rock Canyon State Recreation Area
I went on another of my infamous Sunday afternoon drives through the country today—a mere 520 miles in eight hours and forty-five minutes (driving time; 12 hours total time). Red Rock Canyon State Recreation Area (near Cantil, California, not the Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas, Nevada) caught my attention on my last trip…

I suspect there aren’t many photographers who wouldn’t enjoy trying to capture the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta if they had the time and resources to do so. Smaller scale alternatives can be found. Yesterday, SeaFest, a group organized to promote California’s Salton Sea, organized its first-ever early morning hot air balloon race and an evening hot…

Eastern Sierra and Lake Tahoe
The first week of October 2017, I took a long-awaited photographic excursion from San Diego up the eastern Sierra to Lake Tahoe. Visited places included the Alabama Hills, Manzanar National Historic Site, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, June Lake, and Bodie State Historical Park on my way to Lake Tahoe. You can read about the full…

San Diego Scenes
Here are a few scenes from in and around my adopted hometown of San Diego, California. I love its diversity—beach, mountains, and desert all within a two-hour drive.

Cabrillo National Monument
Cabrillo National Monument at the end of Point Loma is one of the first places I’ll take out-of-town guests, with its commanding views of San Diego harbor and the Pacific Ocean, and its history dating back to the arrival of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo on 28 September 1542.

People
I’m far more comfortable photographing landscapes and travel scenes, but I’ve recently been focusing a bit more on informal and candid portrait photography at events for friends, family, or even work.
