Volunteer Park
Seattle WA April 2008 |
Designed by the
Olmsted Brothers this out of the way park
consists of a reservoir and water tower (the
second highest view of the city), a conservatory
and the
Seattle Asian Art Museum. |
Olympic
Sculpture Park and Seattle Center
Seattle WA April 2008 |
A retro/modern trip through
Olympic Sculpture Park, built in a reclaimed
industrial neighborhood and the Seattle Center,
home of the
Space Needle and the
Experience
Music Project. |
Ashland and
Portland, OR
April 2008 |
Whirlwind drive to the
Pacific Northwest in April where the sun shone
brightly! No rain! I could hardly believe it. |
|
Advent Software FP&A 2008
Kickoff |
Some of the great people I
work with. |
Kim's Halfway
Point Tucson AZ
January 2008 |
A great party for a great
woman. Yay!!! |
|
Pima Air and
Space Museum, Tucson AZ January 2008 |
A trip to Tucson in January
allowed me to return to this
sizeable
museum of retired aircraft. I find aircraft
fascinating, though these images remind me so
much of how we averted disaster in the Cold War,
and how we still have far to go before we live
in a peaceful world.. |
|
Arizona-Sonora
Desert Museum, Tucson AZ January 2008 |
Deserts are often thought to
be forsaken places, but in fact they are as
filled with as much life, light and color as any
other climate.
The
Desert Museum is a must see when visiting
Tucson. |
|
Street Shots, Tubac
AZ January 2008 |
This
town of
less than one thousand in habitants was the
original Spanish garrison in Arizona. Located
about 30 miles south of Tucson it is now home to
a thriving artist colony. |
Advent

Sea Ranch
Fall Light, Gualala, CA November 10-12, 2007 |
Candace and I took a brief
weekend trip back up to Sea Ranch in November.
As usual it was a fantastic trip. The light was
brisk, the sea was cold and the weather was
dramatic. (Scroll down for the Sea Ranch
galleries in Summer of 2007.) |

UC Davis Photo
Walk, October 2007 |
My daughter,
Briony, is an undergraduate at the
University of California at Davis.
These photos are from a short walk on campus on
an autumn Sunday. |
|
Rose Hill
Cemetery, Black Diamond Mines, Contra Costa
County, CA. October 7, 2007 |
The families of the
coal mining communities of Somersville and
Nortonville were laid to rest in this
cemetery in the 19th century. Abandoned after
the towns were deserted it was almost lost
through vandalism, but thankfully it is now
protected by the East Bay Regional Park system
and is in the midst of restoration. |
|
Black Diamond Mines
Regional Park, Contra Costa County, CA October
7, 2007 |
This was the
location of several very active coal mines
in the 19th century which were the main source
of coal for northern California. A number of
towns were active here and the place retains a
sense of history. Very quiet vistas of the
Carquinez Strait. |
|
The Lost
Coast: Foggy Day at the Usal River August 1,
2007 |
A dreary and foggy day
accentuates the loneliness and distance of the
southern entrance to the
Lost Coast. I'd tell you where it is, but I
have been sworn to secrecy. And the road is
unmarked. |
|
Union Landing
State Beach, July 2007 |
Located 18 miles north of
Fort Bragg,
this beach is just south of the
Lost Coast, out of the way and very quiet.
We stayed here at the
Howard Creek Inn, a ranch that dates from
the mid-19th century, when this area was heavily
logged. |
|
Schooner Gulch
Beach State Park, July 2007 |
This is a
quiet little beach that's easy to miss, Just
a few miles south of
Point Arena. The waves roll in slowly and
you can see them stretching out on both sides of
a high bluff. |
|
Evergreen Cemetery, Manchester, CA July 2007 |
I have been photographing
this quiet corner on Highway One for 25 years,
on and off. It's a continual inspiration to my
eyes, and reminds me of my own mortality. Last
year's gallery is
located
here, and I'll have a collection of older
photos up here at some point in the near future. |
|
Sea Ranch
Gallery Four, July 19, 2007 |
A morning communing with the
shapes at
Pareidolia Point (my name, you won't find it
on a map) where we meet the Troll Sphinx. Later
in the evening the sunset from the bluff trail. |
|
Sea Ranch
Gallery Three, July 18, 2007 |
In this batch there are a few
High Dynamic Range (HDR) experiments (also
in days 1 and 2, truth be told). Two walks: the
first as the fog lifted in the morning and the
second as the light illuminated the early
afternoon on the Pacific coast shoreline. |
|
Sea Ranch
Gallery Two, July 17, 2007 |
A photo walk while the fog
drifted into the shore. The coast weather can
change within a few minutes. Watching the
weather and the evolving light is the whole
challenge and point of landscape photography.
And the reward! |
|
Sea Ranch
Gallery One, July 16, 2007 |
Six full days of vacation in
Sea Ranch resulted in many images of the
Mendocino Coast. On day one there was
sunlight, fog and changing weather. |
|
Yerba Buena Center
Gardens, San Francisco, June 2007 |
In many ways this is the
heart of downtown San Francisco.
The
Gardens are located about two blocks from my
office, so I took three lunches in a row to
catch some of the bright summer light. |
|
Shell
Ridge, Morning and Evening, May 2007 |
Another
local open space that I have photographed
for many years. Shell Ridge has a variety of
moods. This is the first gallery of landscapes
with the
Tokina 12-24 ATX wide angle zoom that I
recently added to my camera bag. |
|
San Francisco
Light, Fall and Spring 2006-2007 |
A collection of pictures over
the last ten months or so. I am fortunate to
work in one of the
most beautiful cities in the world. These
are things I see everyday on my way to and from
work. |
|
Lafayette
Reservoir, Lafayette, CA. May 2007 |
Some shots after an early
morning storm. The
reservoir is a popular place for hikers and
fishermen. Built in the 1920's it has a rather
odd tower located near the dam base. |
|
Sonoma County
Weather April 2007 |
My brother
Paul and
I got together and did some shooting at the
Sonoma County State Beach in Jenner, and
Sugarloaf State Park in Kenwood. On the way
back home I did some roadside photography in the
Sonoma wine country. |
|
Asilomar State
Beach, April 2007 |
An overcast day exposes the
lush colors of the dunes and rocks at this
short stretch of beach located in Pacific Grove,
CA. Asilomar is Spanish for "refuge by the
sea." |
|
Carmel River
Beach State Park, April, 2007 |
Morning and evening light,
spectacular coast, and a crystal lagoon.
This beach is nestled between Carmel and Point
Lobos and is easy to miss. The bend of
the shore is worth a stop and a walk. |
|
Garland Ranch
Regional Park, Carmel, CA. April, 2007 |
I found this
easy to miss park by accident while driving
out Carmel Valley Road inland from the ocean. I
need to go back and do some exploring of the
ridge trail. |
|
Sunol Regional
Park, Livermore CA. March 2007 |
Spring is a great time to
visit
Sunol. Alameda Creek is flowing in the
valley of the Little Yosemite, the poppies are
out, the hills are intense green and the oaks
have leafed out. |
|
The
Crosses of Lafayette, March 2007 |
A powerful and spontaneous
memorial to those who have lost their lives in
Iraq. I post these photos with respect. For
further information here is
the official site. |
|
Bacon Way
Open Space, Lafayette, CA. March 2007 |
This part of Acalanes Ridge
extends south. A path drops you to a point where
you can see the junction of Highway 24, I680 and
BART while standing next to oaks, poppies and
old ranch land. |
|
Acalanes Ridge, Walnut Creek, CA.
February and March 2007 |
This area has become my basic
landscape laboratory. This is a gallery of shots
at sunrise, mid-morning and afternoon, capturing
the transitory deep greens of the Bay Area
spring. |
|
Chasing Light
At the Channel Islands, Ventura Ojai and Oxnard,
CA January 2007 |
A three day weekend to see
some old friends. In all the years I have
traveled to this part of the California coast I
have never seen such clear and precise light. |
|
Acalanes Ridge, Walnut Creek, CA. January 2007 |
Views of Mt. Diablo from the
Acalanes Ridge Open Space. A 10 minute walk from
my home. |

|
John
Muir House, Martinez, CA, December 2006 |
John Muir made his home in
the Bay Area from 1890 to 1914 and his home is
preserved as a
National Historic Site. These photos were
taken on a clear, cold December afternoon. |
|
Coyote Hills
Regional Park, Fremont, CA December 2006 |
Rich and vibrant wetlands,
wildlife and broad vistas of the San Francisco
Bay. When you are there it's hard to remember
you are close to the city. |
|
Morgan
Territory Regional Park, Livermore CA November
2006 |
Autumn light, dramatic clouds
and skies on a dry day in one of the East Bay's
most striking regional parks. |

Century, Northern California Coast |
