Cool clouds
I’m totally a sucker for cool clouds. I noticed this unusual formation to the west as I pulled into my neighborhood Sunday evening. Most of the best light had disappeared by the time I retrieved my camera, but I still really like the resulting photo.

Kitchen and family room composite
I had some down time on Saturday, so I shot another composite panorama of my kitchen and family room. This image consists of 13 vertical frames stitched together in Photoshop.
See if you can find my dog, Leo.
Photo composite
I started playing around with photo composites this evening. This particular image is a grid of about 20 images taken in my living room, just after we set up our Christmas tree.
I hope to do more of these soon.
Thanksgiving vacation
I’ve been enjoying some time off with family this week. My camera, however, has still been busy snapping away capturing images of the people around me.
As the sun sank below the horizon on Thanksgiving day, I paraded my in-laws in front of the lens and made some fun portraits. This one, of my wife, her [...]
Downtown Sacramento
My Uncle-in-law and I roamed downtown Sacramento Wednesday night, making photos of the architecture. It was a great opportunity to put my new tripod to good use.
Please visit my Downtown Sacramento gallery to see more pictures.
San Diego skyline
I accompanied my wife to her writing class in downtown San Diego this evening. While she was busy, I drove to Shelter Island and make some pictures of the skyline from across the bay.
This photo in particular was the result of a 40-second exposure.
New tripod

I also bought a small cable release, which is a huge improvement over using the shutter delay timer.
Hopefully, I’ll have [...]
Similar Berlin Wall photos
While visiting the Boston Globe’s “The Big Picture” blog today a noticed that the last photo, made by photographer Leon Neal, shared many similarities to a picture I made back in December 2005.
I made the picture on a visit to Berlin while studying abroad in London. I thought it would be nice to illustrate how [...]
Leo plays with seeds
Our dog, Leo, loves to play with the seeds that fall from the palm tree in our backyard. We try to keep him from doing this (let’s just say his digestive system doesn’t handle them too well), but he’s super cute when he tosses the seeds in the air.
I captured the above image while testing [...]
