The sun had risen some 20 minutes earlier and now climbed rapidly into the sky, taking with it the side lighting that reveals the beautiful natural curves of sand dunes. We’d walked […]

This week (January 28, 2021), a section of California Highway 1 that runs through Big Sur along the Pacific coast washed away after heavy rains in the area. Reading that news, I opened my catalog of […]

While that was also my first visit to Vegas, I found the desert more alluring. That day, clouds had moved in during the overnight hours. As the sun rose the sky was a symphony of color. Had I […]
In Dawn at Morro Bay, I captured a fleeting moment in time of surreal light. The effect lasted five minutes or less and then it was gone. I was with James Brandon and some friends and we’d been spectacularly unsuccessful in capturing clouds at sunset along the mid-California coast. Perhaps the California weather is back to normal now after the recent years of drought but the drought was still very much in play when we visited. Successive cloudless early mornings […]
Early morning, Cayucos Pier, California. I guess 8:53 am counts as early for a November Saturday morning in this part of the world as there were few people out and about. There was a chill in the air but it was by no means cold. I recall only one person walking their dog along the beach that morning, and there was no one on the pier at all. Shortly after taking this image we packed up our gear and headed […]
