After the Morning at the Alabama Hills I was yet undecided as to where to go. As I headed north towards Bishop I heard the days weather forecast on the radio: hot and sunny in the Owen’s valley and a possibility of thunderstorms up by Yosemite. So off I went! No thunderstorms ever arrived, but […]
The Alabama Hills are one of my favorite places here in California and a usual stop anytime I head to the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Normally I avoid the area during summer as the temperature is often well above my level of tolerance, But I decided to check things out anyhow. On […]
Took a little road trip around California during the last week. Mostly to visit old places that I haven’t been to for a while, such as Mt. Shasta (above), which I climbed back in 2005, but haven’t seen since. Up every morning at 4:30, but the light was pretty dissapointing for the most part. Still […]

Overlooking the Firth of Lorne, the ruins of Gylen castle sit on a cliff at the southern end of Kerrera island. Build in 1582 by clan MacDougall, the castle met its demise in 1647 when it was burned by the Covenanters during the civil war.
Bright moon and clear night over the weekend.

Last rays of light before several days of rain over Tasman Valley and Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand. Another old one from April, 2006. Tasman glacier and Tasman lake covered in mist. Storm over Tasman glacier and lake.
A cloudless sky is a pretty rare sight at Milford Sound, a place with an average of 6.8 meters – 22 feet of rain per year. Old photo from March 2006. June Gloom has been in full effect these last weeks here in Santa Barbara and I haven’t been out shooting much lately. I figure […]
