Pelican Feet on the Commercial Pier in Monterey
I've never focused on just the feet of a pelican before. On this overcast day, that seemed like a good choice; some of the color in the pelican's webbed feet seemed to match the red of the wood rail on which the pelican perched.

Pelican on the Monterey Commercial Dock
The colors of the pelican matched up nicely with the colors on the Commercial Pier in Monterey. A long lens let me nicely blur out the background and exclude the big, yellow boxes that made the yellow reflection behind the pelican.

Sea Lions Sleep Next to the Monterey Pier
A pod of sea lions has taken over what was once a boat dock alongside the the Fisherman's Wharf pier. I aimed my telephoto lens directly into the mass of seals, excluding the wooden remains of the dock (which didn't add anything to the composition).

Sea Lion Yawn - Near San Simeon, California
The sea lion may have been bored, but I wasn't, as I zoomed in on my subject with a telephoto lens.

After the Party on Cannery Row, Monterey
It's not easy to photograph people well, particularly when there isn't much time to create a rapport. In this case, my fellow photographer, Susan Manley, and I simply commented on how lovely our potential subject looked, as she stepped out of a swanky party along Cannery Row. She obviously was lovely and she just as obviously didn't mind having us make her portrait.

Abuelita - Downtown Salinas
I've photographed this woman on each of my last three visits to Salinas. Blind, she sat on a chair on the sidewalk, selling knit hats and scarves. A few years ago, when we met, she carried bags of aluminum cans, and when I returned the next year Capture Date: Aug 25, 2011 03:29 PM•Views: 95
to to show her the portrait I'd made of her, on my iPhone's screen, she said, "Yo soy ciego" - "I'm blind." No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form. Comment successfully added. Comment

James Dean Poster - Downtown Salinas
Dean starred in the film adaption of Steinbeck's East of Eden; a good portion of the book takes place in Salinas, and that's where I found Dean's somewhat ghostly image, residing on poster inside a building on Central Avenue.

At the Sang Cafe - Salinas
"John Steinbeck ate here." So says the sign at the entrance of the Sang Cafe. Mr. Sang posed for our group with two of his waitresses. "Do you have many groups of photographers ask to make your portrait, Mr. Sang?" I asked. "Never," he answered.

The Old House At the Grapes of Wrath Vineyards
We stopped to photograph a ruined house in the Grapes of Wrath vineyards, along the west side of the Salinas Valley. Several of us picked up on the shadow people, who were using the vineyard to mask part of an ugly fence that runs around the house.

Wet Field Hand
A worker wanders through an irrigated field in the Salina Valley. Did he raise his hands in spontaneous joy, or was he performing for our group of photographers? There's no way to know.
