This year's Image Quest photography tour returned to the Central Coast regions of California, exploring with our cameras the literary landscape John Steinbeck wrote about in books such as "Pastures of Heaven," "The Red Pony," "Cannery Row" and "East of Eden."


The trip co-leaders were Ken Rockwell and Richard Nolthenius. Ken and I will conduct another trip together, this time to the Point Reyes/Marin County area, north of San Francisco, California, in early September - check here for updates and for information about two other trips this autumn, to Yosemite and the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, that Ken and I are conducting.


Richard Nothenius has photos posted here.

Turn Around!

Some of us were intent with photographing sunset east of Eden, over the agriculture fields and the Gabilan Mountains; luckily someone suggested we look behind us, where hell-fire lit the sky.

New Life in the Community of Spreckles, in the Salinas Valley

Although the vegetation is on the sparse side, the leading lines are not. I cut out the horizon line - whatever was there would have interferred with my purpose of leading the viewer into the field, not out of it.

132 Central Avenue @ f/2- The Steinbeck Family Home in Reflection

This is another example showing that reflections can be anywhere. Bruce's dusty 200mm f/2 lens reflects the home where
John Steinbeck lived as a child and young man.

The House That Was Never a Home

A grand home moved from the city of Salinas to a winery some miles out of town, the old house has stood for years, unused.

Abandoned Barn, Salinas Valley

Sometimes it pays to wait around. The early spring evening in the Salnas Valley was without directly light, until the sun dropped below cloud deck blowing in from the coast. We had a few glorious minutes of light to make our photographs.

In the Bosom of the Santa Lucia Mountains

This is a photograph stitched together from two separate photographs, using the software embedded within Photoshop. The view looks east, with the still invisible Salinas Valley beyond.
