Category Archives: California I posted this photo on Instagram and it was kind of a big hit. I had already posted the full color version before. Sometimes I like to mess around and convert my photos to Black & White and see what the results are. Now I am torn as to whether I prefer the color or […] 
 There was some lovely pink cotton candy clouds as the sun began to set over Little Corona Beach. Man, I am cursed. For as long as I remember, I have always longed to live on the beach. Problem is, living on the beach is mighty expensive. I have been fortunate to live in some beautiful beach towns and now […]
 I had a great time hanging out with a bunch of photographer friends I have met through Instagram. We just kind of hung out and went around shooting in Downtown LA after dark. Are you on Instagram? It is my favorite social network. I actually publish some images on Instagram before I publish them here. […]
 I know the LA skyline doesn’t get as much love as the skyscrapers of NY but I never tire of photographing them. And it is currently undergoing a massive transformation. I still remember as recently as 10 years ago how different it was. Now there are all these fancy new skyscrapers being built all over […]
 This is one of my favorite California beaches. If you are looking for a nice place to enjoy a California sunset, you can’t go wrong with La Jolla. The waves come thundering in and crash against the rocks while you enjoy the warm hues of the setting sun. This group of guys were standing on […]
 If you ever want to see the crazy LA traffic up close and personal, head to downtown. This is the 4th Street overpass with the OneTen freeway running below. While it’s technically the OneHundredTen (110) freeway, in California we never refer to them by their actual numerical name. That is why the FourHundredFive (405) is […]
 When you climb the rooftops around LA, you get some pretty nice vistas. This was taken from a parking lot in Chinatown. As I was waiting for the sun to set, a slow fog began to encroach engulfing the downtown skyline. Just when I thought all was lost, it opened up momentarily and I was […]
 The redwood trees in Northern California are so immense they will make you dizzy if you stare at them to long. If you have ever walked around New York City while looking up at the skyscrapers, it’s pretty much the same feeling. And there are probably more Redwood trees here than there are skyscrapers in […]
 Just another ho-hum evening in Southern California. I have mentioned it before, but if you have never visited LA, forget about visiting Hollywood or the expensive amusement parks. The Griffith Observatory should be the first destination on your list. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of LA that extend from the downtown skyline all […]
 I was in San Diego to take a post-processing class with a photographer whose work I have long admired, Elia Locardi. I learned some great Photoshopping techniques which I plan to implement from now on in my workflow. Check out his awesome work over at his web site: Blame The Monkey. After class, I headed over to nearby […]
