I didn’t shoot any photos during last Sunday’s solar eclipse, although I was lucky to be able to catch a few glimpses of it from my backyard. I did have to wait patiently for a few holes in the cloud cover, but it was well worth it! I certainly remember the last solar eclipse that was visible in my area, […]
It’s been a long time since I last hiked at Folsom Lake. Today I was curious about the water levels, and encouraged by the cooler weather, I drove out to Sterling Point on the North Fork. I pretty much had the whole place to myself. Halfway through my walk, I sat down on a rock overlooking the water and just […]
Last night I started thinking about the photos I shot in San Francisco back in August 2017 — especially the ones in the area near North Beach and the Coit Tower. I knew I had shared at least some of them, but it’s been quite awhile, so I thought it would be nice to take a look back. As it […]

I probably shot more pictures of butterflies than anything else during my stay! But I had a feeling it would have a good camera trip just as […]
As much as I enjoyed the many works of art in San Francisco’s Legion of Honor, it felt amazing to walk into a room and find myself standing inside a lavishly decorated and furnished room from pre-Revolution-era France. There are three such exhibit spaces in the museum, covering the 17th and 18th centuries. I shot all but the top photo […]
