12-27-2013 This has been a great year, one filled with changes, growth and plenty of fun. The year started with relocating to Lincoln, California. While Lincoln is not far from Sacramento, it has a very different feel. With a population of 44,000 people, Lincoln offers a quieter and slower-paced lifestyle. Local businesses are very friendly … Continue reading 2013 – Looking back over the last 12 months

Give me three feet or give me death
09-24-2013 Well, maybe there is no need for such drama. I took this photo five years ago as a personal assignment. I wanted to illustrate how it feels to ride a bicycle on a busy city street. The California Bicycle Coalition asked if they could use the photo as part of their campaign to … Continue reading Give me three feet or give me death
Falling back
The fall colors have arrived, with a mission. 11-25-2011 After sharing a terrific Thanksgiving meal yesterday, followed by a rousing evening of board games with the family, we took a walk today. It was a beautiful, brisk sunny day so it was a great time to get out and walk off some of the … Continue reading Falling back
A Day at the City by the Bay
06-02-2011 I went the Bay Area last week and took a ferry ride over to San Francisco for a few hours. This also gave me a chance to try out a recent used camera purchase. Combined with sunny weather, it was a great day. The ferry leaves Larkspur and crosses San Francisco Bay to the … Continue reading A Day at the City by the Bay
Every Month is Bike Month
05-15-2011 The month of May is officially designated as Bike Month. Several events throughout the city help raise awareness of bicycling for commuting, recreation and exercise. I am committed to find more ways to operate my photography business on two wheels. It's not just the recent rise in gas prices that motivates me; it is … Continue reading Every Month is Bike Month
Locke, Calif
03-04-2011 I took a quiet drive along the Sacramento River toward the delta region last week. It's mostly farmland in this area...pear orchards, new vineyards, grain fields. Locke is a small historic riverfront town about 20 miles south of Sacramento. In fact, it is very small. The main street (above) runs about one block, and … Continue reading Locke, Calif
Simple lines
02-09-2011 I was out doing some location scouting for a commercial photoshoot when I passed by this car parked near a downtown building. The louvered wall above the car reflects some interesting patterns on the roof of the car. Sometimes the shapes and the patterns are the image. - + -
Dude, where’s my store?
01-20-2011 I don't know if this qualifies as "irony" or not...but there is something funny about the placement of the sandwich board sign, considering the primary clientele of this store. "Somebody" is lifting some of the merchandise, methinks. - + -
Note to self: Eat First
01-14-2011 In the last few days I've had the chance to take photos at a couple of restaurants in Sacramento. The basic rule of food photography? Eat first! These photos were not the usual food-styled ad shots. These were taken of real food as it was moving from the kitchen to the tables of real … Continue reading Note to self: Eat First
The Decisive MOMA
01-05-2011 The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is hosting an exhibition of the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004). The exhibition is very large - it fills the entire third floor of the museum. Yesterday was free admission day, so it was well-attended. Cartier-Bresson is known as one of the early pioneers of modern … Continue reading The Decisive MOMA
