Daffodils are in bloom in Julian...

What better reason is there to head over to Julian for the day? Ok, apple pie and wineries too. Julian, http://www.julianca.com, is a quaint escape. These photos really aren't complete however without the faint smell of warm dry dirt (one of my favorite) and the rhythmic clicking of horse hooves traveling down main street.

Portrait Work

Fun with photoshop!

An old photograph I came across recently. It's dorky I know, but I can't help but smile! Me and my gal in Redwood National Forest.

A very peculiar place...

You never know what you'll find at the Salton Sea. It's one of the reasons I really like going there, it's full of oddities. I don't know what it is, but I've gotten very strange colors when I shoot there too and oftentimes the horizon line is so hazy you can't tell where the sky ends and the water begins. Adding to the weirdness factor are the tens of thousands of fish skeletons lining the shore and the sea 'burping' due to geothermal activity. It's creepy at night.

This image was shot, dropped into a template and outputted 8 x 12 foot last Monday! Having started in film, I'm still amazed how digital has expedited this entire process, start to finish.

The best way to get free photography...

is to move next door to a photographer and be a good neighbor. So it was with our buddies the Youngs who, to date have given me a camera bag, mostly new basketball shoes, dinner and smiles every time we see them. They're a blessing to us and we hope to be the same for them!

Art is an investment...

better than property, ok, but cows too?! I found this in a publication advertising the arts in South Carolina.

For my buddy Simon...

Hope your birthday was this much fun--except for the looking at ladies part! You're not allowed to do that! Sorry we couldn't make it. Have a glass of grog for me or, whatever he's having!

One for the ladies!

This photo's awesome! Only in Hollyweird! I took this a couple years ago for Mr. Suave who needed a character image for a play he was in. I came across it recently while gathering images for an acting portfolio at the same time the Bee Gees were playing (don't ask) on itunes. I felt like I went back in time!

Art du portrait éternel

I'm thinking of doing more portraiture like this. I love the timeless, romantic tone. I'm kinda stunned by its beauty myself and I made it! I love the depth created by layers as well as the warm, soft black and white.
