Last Stop: Chicago   Leave a comment

Last major stop on my cross-country drive was Chicago – I caught a free concert by Low in Millenium Park, then waited for sunset for some photo opportunities. The sculpture is called Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor, but everyone just calls it ‘The Bean’.

Lightning over the Badlands   Leave a comment

I witnessed the most amazing (and at times terrifying) storm of my life while crossing the Badlands in South Dakota:  6 hours of continuous lightning, across the entire 360 degree horizon, interspersed with torrential downpours and hail the size of hazelnuts. But it turned out to be a great night for photography.

Deadwood, South Dakota   Leave a comment

An old mining town where Wild Bill Hickok was killed and Calamity Jane is buried, it is now just a collection of sad casinos and T-shirt shops catering to bored retirees and drunk teenagers from nearby Rapid City. Only at night does it have a bit of charm.

Full Moon at Legion of Honor   Leave a comment

I took this shot on my last evening in San Francisco, in front of the Legion of Honor. I was shooting the other way, concentrating on the Golden Gate Bridge. When I turned around, a huge moon had risen above the city.

Berlin stroll   Leave a comment

A rainy night didn’t keep me from walking around Berlin earlier this year while on a business trip, and capturing this scene on one of the main avenues of Berlin: Unter den Linden.
