Yosemite, during and after a winter storm is a magical place. I have been fortunate to experience this twice before, but both times were before I was serious into photography. That said, it was these experiences that helped instill the passion for photography that I have today. Flash forward to the present. I have been dreaming [...]
A couple weeks back I spent a few days in Yosemite with Harley Goldman and Lon Overacker. This is becoming an annual event and we typically time the trip to coincide with the bloom of the dogwoods. I think we were about a week early on the dogwoods this year but there is always a [...]
Like many other photographers I long for spring, especially wildflower season. Until I got serious about photography I never paid much attention to the changing seasons, or lack thereof in California.

This past weekend I headed out to the desert and met up with a couple great photographers – Harley Goldman and Michael Gordon.

The spring wildflower bloom is finally starting to show thanks to the massive rainfall California received this winter. Winter has stuck around a little longer than normal so the wildflower season has been a little slow to show, but we are finally starting to see the affects of the rain. April and I headed out [...]

After shows in Tempe and Brentwood I have spent the last 3 weekends shooting. The widlflower bloom in California was just too good to miss. I just got back from the Eastern Sierra where the bush lupine were going strong. I also spent some time near the California Poppy Reserve, Gorman, Cottonwood Canyon and Shell [...]
This past winter was particularly wet for Southern California and we are now enjoying a fabulous wildflower bloom. The past weekend April and I packed up the dog and the camper and headed out to the Desert to check it out for ourselves. The reports I heard had me excited but we were completely blown [...]
