I just received a flash extension cord that lets me illuminate the subject from the side – here’s my first try. Of course it helps to have a gorgeous wife….

I love these sentinels of the desert – quiet giants that dominate the Arizona desert.

Early Morning in the Presidio Leave a comment
Driving through the Presidio in San Francisco early in September, I spotted this bicyclist ahead of me. I only had a few seconds to catch him and those beautiful sun rays in the same frame.

These majestic creatures were circling 1000 feet below me as I was standing at the edge of Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park. Each one of them is tagged for observation/tracking.

This was shot on Memorial Day weekend in 2006. Culmination of a 8 hour hike starting at 5 am, we were rewarded with snow on top of Half Dome and gorgeous views of Yosemite Valley.

Sierra Nevada Tree Leave a comment
I shot this on a hike in the Sierra Nevada foothills, with a point-and-shoot. I loved the detail and the melancholy mood of a dead tree that could be 1,000 years old.

Sunrise in Antelope Canyon 6 comments
I shot this while on spring break vacation (2010) with my son in Arizona/Utah. This was in the Lower Antelope Canyon, around 11:30 in the morning, when a few openings in the canyon allow light to reach all the way to the floor of the canyon.

Welcome to my photo blog, featuring snapshots that strike my fancy (and I hope yours, too). Here’s my first picture – of the Stanford Dish, a large telescope visible from Highway 280 near Palo Alto.
