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.

The redwood trees in Northern California are so immense they will make you dizzy if you stare at them to long.

There was a bright full moon over the beach in Playacar, Mexico and I just had to stop and take some photos. The colors of the water are constantly shifting between different hues of blue & aqua. I played around with a long exposure not sure of what the result would be. I was hoping […]
