Winters, California

During my lifetime, I’ve spent an awful lot of time in the passenger seats of cars. One of the best things about not driving is that you get to enjoy the scenery; but not being in control of the vehicle means I can’t pull over to the side of the road whenever I see something I like. I’m still working on perfecting my on-the-move camera skills. Many of my shots are complete failures, others are borderline — and once in awhile I get really lucky and capture exactly what I was hoping for. Here are just a few of my favorites, all of them shot from the passenger seat of a moving car.
