Highlands Park Detail, Ben Lomond, CA. April, 2024. I was scouting locations for a session with a model friend. Flowers and wisteria were blooming everywhere and colorful bokeh possibilities were on my mind. #photography #santacruzmountains #benlomond #california

Three favorite photos from the protest today in Santa Cruz, CA. #protest #noice #santacruz

I had a real problem with a band manager over this photograph. he used it for commercial purposes without asking me. When I insisted he take it down or pay up he thought he'd bar me from photographing their band. No, copyright law doesn't work like that. 1/2

Old shack at sunrise. Mono County, California. Sept, 2017. New edit from the archives. It was freezing while waiting for the alpenglow. Worth it. Despite popular misconception this land is not abandoned. #photography #landscape #easternsierra #california #monocounty #alpenglow #shack

2025 Reindeer Run 5K - Boulder Creek, CA. Dec 24. I love to volunteer for our mountain communities, especially Boulder Creek. Logan Hede and Gregg Schlaman helped me this year. Share what you do with your communities. #volunteer #photography #santacruzmountains

Sorrel and Water Droplets. Wilder Ranch State Park, Santa Cruz, CA. December 2025. I wandered around with my old Canon 1DmkII with a 50mm. Limiting the lens to 50mm is a good exercise in composition and being very selective. #photography #intimate #landscape #sorrel #raindrops #santacruz

Flowers in a light rain. Wilder Ranch State Park, Santa Cruz, California. Dec 21, 2025 #landscape #flowers #wilderranch #santacruz #california #rain

Wilder Ranch shop exterior wall detail. What was important to me was the contrast of color and shapes. The red-orange circle against the much lighter vertical elements. Also the dark square against the red circle. #photography #santacruz #wilderranch #detail

I like reeds. There's something about the color and volume. Something about how they bend a lot before they break. Reeds along Neary Lagoon, Santa Cruz, CA. December 21, 2025 #landscape #50mm #santacruz #reeds #intimate

From the archive Wayback Machine. Lava, colorful clouds, and distant Kaho'olawe. Makena, Maui. June, 2014 I attended a workshop provided by Scott Reither while in Maui. During this time I explored the art of long exposures. Side note: palm trees will look like Thneed ala Dr. Seuss.

Point of Departure Manhattan Beach, CA, June, 2013 This isn't a good photograph. It was the day I picked up a camera again years after art school. I'd do it all differently today. You have to start somewhere. I came back to this today to encourage others. #photography #california #manhattanbeach

Happy (and cold) memories of a beautiful day in the Westfjords of #Iceland as mid-winter approached... Taken on this day in 2020.

Big Honkin' Redwoods - Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Felton, CA. I'm pretty sure sure that's the technical name for them. This park is just a few miles from me and I visit often. You can read more about the park here: www.parks.ca.gov?page_id=912 #photography #landscape #redwoods #california

I don't make many panoramic photographs. I attended a workshop by Michael Frye a few years ago where he encouraged try. McGee Creek, October, 2025. #photography #landscape #fallcolors #mountains #panorma

Here's one from the archives. A pretty morning hike in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, August, 2014.

Hiking in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Santa Cruz County, CA - December 2017. This is all burn scar today and I haven't had the heart to return. Big Basin was a frequent favorite park for me with miles and miles of trails. You can see the Pacific Ocean out there. #hiking #santacruz #bigbasin

Order From Chaos. Sort of. Another photograph from along McGee Creek. As the sun was setting to my right I looked for shaded reflections. Ok found it. The next challenge was arranging the scene to make any kind of sense. Thanks for looking, thanks for comments, thanks for participating. #photography

I've bought some of @mcapriglioneart.bsky.social 's stickers as stocking stuffers. They're freaking adorable. Please consider doing the same and supporting real human being artists. kthnxbye.

Eastern Sierra Fall Colors trip photo 10242. I should come up with a snazzier title. This view is along the south side of McGee Creek. The sun was setting off to my right which allowed for a bluer sky this direction. #photography #landscape #california #fallcolors

Rocks, Water, Leaves, and Moss - McGee Creek, Bishop-ish, California. October, 2025 - I spent some time along the creek waiting for the light to get good. You could argue I spent too much time here and nearly missed it. Oh well. This is nice too. #landscape #photography #california

Fallen Branch and Leaves - Intimate Landscape, McGee Creek, Bishop, California. October, 2025 #landscape #photography #california #fallcolors #intimatelandscape

In closing arguments, defense attorney Sabrina Shroff argued that a sandwich could not and did not cause harm. “This case, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is about a sandwich,” she said. Because screw you.

Rock and Leaves I set up along a creek waiting for the light to get good. There were opportunities in the meantime, like these leaves that settled on this large rock in the creek. October, 2025. #photography #landscape #intimatelandscape #fallcolors #leaves #easternsierras

I got to wander around Santa Cruz with my gorgeous friend Marissa. Thursday, Oct 2025. We just improvised and had a great time. #photography #portrait #santacruz #california #fall #model

Fall colors along McGee Creek. The Eastern Sierras are an incredible and unique setting. October, 2025 #photography #landscape #fallcolors #easternsierras #california

I hiked along McGee Creek on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised by how well this area had been sheltered from the recent wind storms. #photography #landscape #fallcolors #california #easternsierras

I sat on this photograph for 3+ years and I'm still not 100% stoked on the edit. Somewhere along Tuolumne River, July 2022. #photography #landscape #yosemite

Today I volunteered to run a photo booth at our annual Harvest Festival. I used my ancient Canon ID Mk II, 8.2-megapixel from 2004. The weather was iffy and kids were running around. It's water resistant and built like a tank. The old guy did fine. So did the camera. #photography #santacruzmountains
