Seasets II
I’ve come to really enjoy the drama of long-exposure water photography, but it’s probably one of my least practiced subjects. Fortunately, my talented photographer brother is always down for a road trip, so we headed to Corona Del Mar to catch the sunset. We labored through the tide pools, heading south of arch rock but [...]
Seasets
Below are some random sunset photos from two recent excursions. The first three photos are from a New Years Day boat ride off Dana Point. It was supposed to be a whale watching trip, but ended up being just a water watching trip.
The second set of photos were taken at the Huntington Beach pier. [...]
Princess Baylie
I met Baylie and her family at Carbon Canyon on one of the nicest SoCal days in a while. We had great light and excellent temperature for running on the playground or feeding the ducks (one of my favorite activities). Baylie took a while before she opened up for me, but even while being shy [...]
2009: Year in Review
Since everyone else on the web does an end of year retrospective, I figured I might as well also. 2009 has been a good photographic year for me. I don’t know that I’m a particularly good photographer yet, but I feel as though I got to another level of skill by the time this year [...]
Random Jazz: 12/29/09
Another post with random photos for you. The first set comes from my good friend Declan (“Danger”) and his mom/dad Becky and Trevor (who in my head I just accidentally called “Decky, Beclan and Trevor”). They’re now expecting child numero dos, which is what the “+1″ is all about. The last photo is my favorite; [...]
Life and Death
I had the good fortune to join Keith Skelton and a few other photographers on a trip through Death Valley earlier this month. As a kid, an old mentor friend of mine had told me about the moving rocks on the so-called Devil’s Racetrack, and I had been wanting to see them ever since. For [...]
X + 2C
I met Xochitl, Clayton, and Clayton at my old stomping grounds in Carbon Canyon today. I’ve known Xochitl for years, but had the pleasure of meeting her two Clays for the first time. They were after Christmas card photos, but at the end of the day we had so much more than that. I’m hopeful [...]
A Tale of Two Sisters
Rather than buying a motorcycle, I recently burned my down payment on a new Canon 7d camera. It’s pretty much the most incredible piece of technology I’ve ever owned, so you can imagine that I was itching to try it out. Fortunately for me and my 7d, my friend Natasha is a nanny and asked [...]
Higher Learning
I met my longtime friends Jeff and Dawn at Chapman University to photograph them and their boys, AJ and Brady. The place was hopping with some sort of special event so we didn’t get the full use of the campus, but we still had fun.

Danger Strikes Again
I had a makeup session with Danger Gill this past weekend, with the plan being to get some photos of him in his Clark Kent/Superman costume. I love taking pictures of him, but at 17 months it can be like walking a cat in a bathtub (yes, I know that makes no sense). So while [...]
