I like to take little figures with me on trips and insert them into photos where appropriate. On my trip to the Southwest, I took along this little Indian. He ended up in a lot of my photos.

Ocean Beach kite surfer 1 comment
This was shot around sunset, when the only thing still lit up by the sun’s rays were the kites of these surfers.

My dog is always moving. So rather than trying to get her to pose, I thought it best to just capture her movement.

I was quite pleased how I was able to freeze my son’s body against the moving background. But it took a couple of takes to get the hang of it.

These were all shot with my iphone, and a cool little app called ‘Hipstamatic’.

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.

American Condor over Zion Canyon Leave a comment
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.
