Picture: Pigeon Point Lighthouse at dawn over the Pacific Ocean, San Mateo County coast, California Knock on wood. I’m almost afraid to say it out loud or in writing, but I’m also almost too excited to contain myself. A new book? A hot new assignment? A big print sale? No. Nothing so grand; rather it’s [...]

Sea Anemones cling to coastal rocks during an incoming tide at dawn, Pigeon Point, San Mateo County coast, California I’ve been a bit hesitant to post anything lately, as the stability of my weblog as been extremely variable, and tenuous at best. I detest the idea of posting anything new and seeing visitors come smack-dab, [...]

Picture: Sunrise light and morning mist at Point Sur Lighthouse, Big Sur Coast, Monterey County, California Finally, I got one. I can’t say how many times I’ve driven past the Point Sur Lighthouse, and not taken a picture. Either wrong time, wrong weather, wrong light, or I was on my way to or from some [...]

Picture: Surfer riding the breaking waves below coastal rock in fog at Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur Coast, Monterey County, California This image was chosen as photo of the month as it reminded me of our local extremes. Last month we had a pretty good heat wave, so my family and I took a day trip [...]

One of the great things about the climate along the central part of [...]

Picture: Boogie board (skimboard) surfer flying through air over ocean wave, Balboa Island, Newport Beach, Southern California Coast. This has always been one of my favorite portfolio-worthy people shots from when I was working on my California Coast book. As such, I think this also a great image to introduce my new four-page Los Angeles / Orange [...]

Picture: Couple shares a romantic moment on coastal rocks watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean from Scripss Park, La Jolla, San Diego County coast, California. And by way of another introduction, this image part of my new online image galleries recently posted to the site. This time the images are in a collection called the San [...]

Picture: Coastal fog at sunset along the rolling hills of the Lost Coast, Humboldt County, California I just made a new scan of this image for possible use by a client, and thought this would be a good image to post today. Why? Well this last weekend I went for a family camping trip to [...]

Picture: People walking in fog on Pfieffer Beach, Big Sur Coast, California I don’t watch the TV Show, the 4400; but I’ve seen the commercials. This scene reminds me of that, with the ghostly figures walking into or out of the distant fog. God, what I wouldn’t give to be on this beach right now. [...]
