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

Teaching an old dog new tricks
01-26-2011 My fingers hurt like hell. I signed up for Beginning Guitar at Sac City College this semester. I've never played a guitar before...never really tried my hand at any musical instrument in a serious way. None, that is, unless you count the time I plunked around on an old accordion when I was 7. … Continue reading Teaching an old dog new tricks
Shop til you drop!
12-19-2010 It seems like the holiday rush is all around. Even with the economy as bad as it has ever been, the stores are crowded, the roads are jammed and people are still shopping. The above image was taken in 1/5 second... a lot can happen in that brief instant. But for this person, it … Continue reading Shop til you drop!
Lucky Day
09-30-2009 I was driving home from a photoshoot and noticed that my odometer was rolling over a bunch of 13's.

I was more interested in stopping … Continue reading Lucky Day

I included one of the towers of the Tower Bridge because I wanted a stationary and recognizable object … Continue reading Independence Day – 2009
Getting There on Two Wheels

This photo is meant to give the viewer the sense of relative movement between cars and bikes. Even in a bike lane, it's a … Continue reading Getting There on Two Wheels
Made to Fly
01-04-2008Sacramento was hit with some serious stormy weather today. The winds were reaching velocities of 60-75 miles per hour. It was no Katrina, but still did lots of damage. One of the airplanes at the local airport was not tethered very well, so it taxi-ed and took off on its own. It pretty much cleared … Continue reading Made to Fly
Wheeling Downhill
08-25-2007It can be very refreshing to ride a bicycle along a quiet mountain road. The only sounds you hear are the buzz of knobby tires on asphalt and the wind in the treetops.◄ ♦ ►
