1966 Caddy
This vintage Cadillac was parked on the street, one house down from mine. It belongs to a real estate agent who told me he collects 1950s and 1960s Caddies.

Rainbow At Bridalveil Fall, Yosemite National Park
Each May, a rainbow appears at the base of Bridalveil Fall for a few minutes in the afternoon. As the sun drops, the rainbow works its way up the column of water, until it disappears near the top.

Remembering Summer
Summer is a beautiful season in California. While its lazy days march off into the sunset, we can feel secure in the knowledge that summer, and its delights, will return next year.

Prey, Join Me for Lunch?
My wife discovered this praying manits, which was more than two inches (well over 5cm) long, in our front yard, as she gardened. I made a lot of photographs to come up with this one, my favorite, because it's in focus, it isn't blurred, and I managed to recognize and work in a nice background to show the mantis off. Capture Date: Jul 12, 2011 11:35 AM•Views: 63
Unfortunately, it was definitely aware of my presence when I began making photographs with my digicam, which has an astoundingly good macro, but put me too close to my subject, frightening it. I switched to my DSLR with a macro lens, and I was able to keep a more discreet distance from my subject. Over all the years I've lived in Los Angeles, I've never seen a praying mantis in my city. Quite possibly, long after all cities on earth have disappeared, the mantis will still be around. After all, it evolved into a terrifying killing machine 145 million years ago. No comments yet.

An Especially Colorful Morning at The Los Padres Inn
Is this photograph representative of the Los Padres Motel? Yes and no. This is a photograph of the motel - and its reflection - when I was there one morning. The colors, though, are super-saturated. Does this matter? Capture Date: Aug 25, 2011 09:48 AM•Views: 65
For me, the answer is obviously no. I was not so much interested in using a photograph to show what the motel looked like, as I was in using the motel to show what a photograph can look like. In other words, I'm more interested in the final product the photograph than I am in the original ingredients of the photograph. I set my camera on a vivid setting, and I added even more color saturation to the photo with an app I have on my iPad, where the photo is stored. No comments yet.

Ghost Town
A knothole and a window patiently await visitors at Bodie State park, an amazing ghost town in "arrested decay," in eastern California.

Rusted Car Along Route 66
It was the end of a beautiful autumn day on our trip along Route 66. Our photo group stopped serendipitously, as happens often enough on a relaxed photo tour - at a cluster of rusting cars that sat slumbering between the empty old highway and busy Interstate-40. Capture Date: Nov 3, 2011 05:02 PM•Views: 62
In the few minutes we had to make our photographs, the magic light of the dying sun painted the old cars with a golden light, which brought each of them back to life for us. No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form. Comment successfully added. Comment

Stare Down in Santa Fe
This wasn't really a stare down. My subject was acting as a traffic cop, keeping cars out of the central square of Santa Fe, in anticipation of motorcycle rally for charity. When I asked his permission, he graciously posed for me, allowing me to approach him "up close and personal." Capture Date: Nov 5, 2011 10:14 AM•Views: 65
Making portraits of strangers is not easy for most photographers. Some try to make candid images - and do it well. I prefer to ask permission. For me, building a little repport can put my subjects at ease. There isn't always much time to do that, as was the case here. I simply walked up to the man, and said, "Hey, you look great. Could I make your photograph?" It worked, and I have a suspicion my subject was used to and enjoyed posing for anyone with a camera. No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form.

Autumn in Los Angeles
I brought my camera with me today, on a bike ride, to photograph autumn in Los Angeles, an autumn which is especially colorful in some neighborhoods this year. Capture Date: Nov 20, 2011 05:16 PM•Views: 63
In earlier images I've posted to this gallery, I've written about the transitory nature of life. The fall season symbolizes that truth, that we are all here for a brief moment of time. The poignant knowledge that we are mortal is both our curse and our blessing, and it's what makes us human. And nowhere is it a more revealed truth than on Hi Point Street, a few blocks from my home.

Yosemites Natural Fire Fall
Each year, during the last two weeks of February, the natural fire fall puts in an appearance. Water from Horsetail Fall pours over the lip of El Capitan, which lights up for a few minutes with the help of last light of the sun. I've seen and photographed this remarkable event a number of times over the past few years. I missed it last year, so was glad my photography group and I had good luck this time out. It was a wonderful Yosemite experience, a great way to kick off the trip, and I'll try it again next year. Capture Date: Feb 16, 2012 06:31 PM•Views: 64
It does take some luck, because there has to be sun - only 4 days on average in late February - enough snow, and it has to be warm enough to melt enough snow to make the waterfall. No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form. Comment successfully added. Comment
