Continuing with the stairwell series, because for some odd reason I keep seeing something in them I’m compelled to photograph, here’s a random stairwell at LAX Airport in the parking Continue Reading →

Unique Brutalist Spaceship
Known as the Gisele Library, this architectural wonder sits on the campus of the University of California Sand Diego
Desoto After The Rain
We got about 2″ of rain here in LA yesterday and I guess this old Desoto from yesterday’s Photo Of The Day isn’t as waterproof as it used to be.
Curbside Desoto
A classic cat like this deserves black and white treatment.
Black Widows Freak Me Out, Still
Growing up in Washington, black widow spiders were something exotic from far away lands. Then I moved to California and started finding them in place I did not want. I Continue Reading →
In The City Of LA
It’s a good song, from Dr. Dre…
Los Angeles Alley Black And White
Los Angeles has no shortage of interesting back alley scenes. Sometimes they need a little help with composition, but this one, for me, was pretty much perfect when I viewed Continue Reading →
Fall Foliage In The Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains
I’m just back from two days attempting to climb Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48 United States. It’s an odd distinction, for sure, but it’s also a Continue Reading →
Black And White Hills And Clouds
Not from Bishop, but from down the road at Manzanar, in California.
Colorful Can Of Parts
A lot of rust happening behind a mechanics garage. Main’y driveshafts and brakes.
Subtleness At Sunset
Another photo from the Bishop area after the brighter sunset colors had passed.
Hard Light Before Night
Back to Bishop, CA for more wonderful autumn light. A few sprinkles had started by the time the last of the sun was peeking through the western clouds.
Sunset Rays And Swirls
This photo is in the category of ‘Most interesting sunset photos happen from parking lots’. Technically this was in a dirt lot next to a parking lot, but the magic Continue Reading →
Parasite Storyboards
Today I got to do that fun thing where I play tourist in my own city. With a good friend from out of town visiting, we decided to go to Continue Reading →
Bird Of Paradise Second View
Sometimes when you get addicted to a flower, you just can’t stop. Also, when you get a new camera, even familiar subjects become moments of fascination. In my case, I Continue Reading →
Deep In A Bird Of Paradise
Growing up in Washington, I had never heard or seen a bird of paradise plant. Maybe I saw one once when visiting California, but I wasn’t the kind of kid Continue Reading →
Into The Sequoia Forest
It’s hard to find a Giant Sequoia without some kind of burn scar. Something we think of as a negative is just a way of life for a tree that Continue Reading →
What To Do With It
This weekend I found myself in Bishop, CA at more than one auto shop as one of my brothers’ car had break issues and he needed help towing a trailer Continue Reading →
Bright Clouds, Danger Clouds
The Sierra Nevada Mountains are phenomenal for afternoon clouds and light.
Evenings In Bishop, California
This time of year can create dramatic sunsets along Highway 395 in California. It just happens that I was in Bishop yesterday and grabbed this image from the road.
Stairway Still Life II
I took these pictures with the intent of sharing them, so now you have to see them. I guess I really liked this stairwell!
Moonrise 37,000’ Over California
The full moon rising over Central California from a flight home. Always grab the left (port) side A seats when heading south to LA.
Kearsarge Lakes Before The Kearsarge Pinnacles
The nest time I camp at this little set of lakes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, I’m picking a location close to this spot. Just a little bit of outflow Continue Reading →
Giant Cone, Little Cone; Which Is From A Sequoia?
Next to a fallen sugar pine tree in Sequoia National Park is this huge sugar pine cone. In the foreground is the cone for the park’s namesake, the Sequoia.
The Bright Dead Tree In The Forest
Weathering has taken a toll on this tree. High up the Sierra Nevada mounts, by a hidden lake called Pinto.
Black Phoebe Singing Its Heart Out
A fairly common bird around LA, and lots of places in the US, but it still deserves a spot on the blog.
Looking For A Path
I think we went off to the right side and then back again to the left? Wayfinding in the High Sierra can be a challenge but often there are cairns, Continue Reading →
Terning Right At You
A flock of Elegant and Royal Terns takes flight and turns right toward the camera. Taken at Ballona Creek in Los Angeles.
Looking Down on the Alabama Hills
The Alabama Hills are an interesting set of rock formation and mining claims near Lone Pine, California. I have written about them before, here.
Kearsarge Pinnacles Tower Over The Lakes
Admittedly, these lakes would just be some other cute alpine lakes without the tower Kearsarge Pinnacles looming behind them.
