The Drama Above And Below
Flying West toward Los Angeles, I was lucky enough to catch the light before a storm came in this past Fall. I think this might have been the storm that Continue Reading →
Three Views Of Lake Michigan, Four Hours Apart
Those times at the beginning or end of a change in the weather are ripe for photos. The shifting winds and clouds and light make for vastly different views while Continue Reading →
Just Before Angels Landing
Truth be known, I didn’t finish the climb up to Angels Landing, the hill on the right side of this panorama from Zion National Park. It felt too sketchy to Continue Reading →
How To Help Your Local (Or Any) Public Broadcasting Service
You’re probably aware of the monumental decrease in funding the federal government has enacted with the latest budget cuts. If you don’t care about public broadcasting, here’s a picture of Continue Reading →
Exploring Zion’s Empty Western Road
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, the road along the west side of Zion National Park doesn’t get nearly the same traffic as the valley. Some same it is just 10% Continue Reading →
Last Light On Zion National Park’s Less Visited Highlands
One day of stellar light in Zion fills my soul for a week. I was lucky enough to spend two nights up there recently and while the weather was a Continue Reading →
Capitol Reef National Park Aerial
I love exploring the Southwest from a plane. The colors and patterns offer a way different view than from on land. It took me a while to realize exactly where Continue Reading →
Ushuaia Sunset Timelapse
Ushuaia is also known as the End of the World. While this can’t be literal when we live on a ball, it’s fun to think it’s the last reasonably modern Continue Reading →
Stairwell – LAX Parking
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 →
Chicago River Nightlife
While some talk of Chicago being on fire and overrun, the view from the Chicago River seems pretty chill.
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.
Looking Up At Marina City
I’ve only been in Chicago a few days and I’ve already seen a handful of artistic renditions of these unique towers along the river. Locally called the Corn Cob Towers, Continue Reading →
Compact Chicago Crop
I recently upgraded my main camera….my iPhone. The specifications on the 17 Pro looked like a solid upgrade from my old phone. It was worth waiting a few years for Continue Reading →
2266 Above, Crab Claw Hands Guy Below
Sometimes the picture titles just write themselves, no thinking involved. I love how this Northbound train just south of Chicago was hanging out right above pedestrian traffic.
Phoning It In
Phoning it in today, playing with the macro lens. I don’t use this handy and useful feature on my phone often enough. Usually you have to spend hundreds of dollars Continue Reading →
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 →
