Tribune Building
The old Tribune Building in Oakland is visible from almost anywhere in the city but this is my favorite view of it from one of many alleyways in Chinatown.

Ordering Man
Walking through Chinatown and spotted this man ordering at a local business. The lighting was great so I had to snap a quick one.

Almost Tunnel View - Yosemite National Park, CA
I finally got to witness the low cloud line in Yosemite National Park. I have been there countless times now and it's either been solid grey or solid blue skies. It was definitely a treat and one that I have been wanting to photograph for some time now.

El Capitan
We had just missed the sunrise at Tunnel View, Yosemite, CA so I decided to take a different approach at photographing El Capitan.

Horsetail Falls - Firefall 2017
'Firefall' is an event that happens once a year during the last two weeks of February and can only be seen if the clouds are in the right spot from 5:40PM to about 5:42PM. We sat there in the 30 degree temperatures for 3 and a half hours and right when it was supposed to light up, the clouds rolled in. You could sense the pessimism across all of the photographers that were there but then literally a minute or two before it was supposed to start, we could see it light up from the bottom and extend its way up to the top.
I've always thought that the colors in other peoples photos were enhanced or faked but that's absolutely not true. You see this orange glow in person as shown in almost every photo that you see of it online. This is a MUST for anyone that has not seen it before and you can count on me going again in the coming years.

Chuck Close - Up Close...
We decided to spend our Superbowl Sunday at the new SF MOMA checking out the Diane Arbus exhibit. I took this photo of my wife on the 5th floor gallery, in front of one of my favorite artists work. Chuck Close's work is even more impressive when you can see it in person.

Milhouse At Sunset
My favorite place in the bay area is the old Naval Air base in Alameda. It was abandoned for a number of years with only affordable housing left active but in the past couple of years there has been movement and development happening. I'm hoping the charm and the views don't go away in the near future.

On A Whim
Sitting at home on valentines day we decided to catch the sunset and do a little impromptu shoot together. This photo was taken using one small-ish reflector and natural light.

Inverness Shipwreck
It's treasures like this that make taking photos so satisfying because you never know when you will get to visit or live that moment again. Sadly, this ship was recently burned quite badly due to a photographer trying to take photos of steel wool sparks at night. Cherish our landmarks and our state parks, think before you act.
