  • Mono Lake

    Mono Lake

    I am SOOO not a morning person! Even last year when I took the family for an overnight trip to Lee Vining, I slept in. Of course later on, I wished I would have gotten up early to photograph Mono Lake. This trip I finally got up around 4:15 AM and drove down to the…

  • Ice, Ice Baby!

    Ice, Ice Baby!

    On my way to Tuolumne Meadows to hopefully capture some nice sunset colors, I had to stop at Tioga Lake. I thought the afternoon light reflecting on the water, coupled with the still frozen lake, made some nice abstract images.

  • Lembert Dome from Tuolumne Meadows

    Lembert Dome from Tuolumne Meadows

    I set up my stuff so I could capture Lembert Dome, Mount Dana and even Cathedral Peak. There were no clouds above, so I settled for a cloudless sunset of Lembert Dome! Before I packed up for the evening, I tried two long exposures of Lembert Dome… …and Mount Dana. Still more images to go…

  • Cathedral Peak From Tuolmne Meadows

    Cathedral Peak From Tuolmne Meadows

    I found my location for the evening. My focus was to be Lembert Dome and Mammoth Peak. I took a few pre-sunset photos…just in case. I noticed some clouds forming to the west, so I was excited. I started to see some nice colors right above Cathedral Peak. I wanted to include some of the…

  • Mammoth Peak from “Tuolumne Lake”

    Mammoth Peak from “Tuolumne Lake”

    My wife booked a room at Lee Vinning Monday so the kids could play in the snow Monday afternoon and in the evening I hoped to capture “something” at sunset. Where to go? Two years ago I “camped out” at Tuolumne Meadows and got some nice “lake” sunset pictures. Last year I stayed around Tioga…

  • Open House from Wendel Rosen

    Open House from Wendel Rosen

    Yesterday, Stacy and I attended the 5th Anniversary Open House Party for the Wendel Rosen Modesto office. Why you ask? About a month ago I was contacted by a art consultant to furnish a couple of photographs depicting the central valley. I gave him my suggestions. A few days later they agreed on two 18…

  • Sunset at Tunnel View

    Sunset at Tunnel View

    Seeing Friday’s Yosemite webcam, I really wanted to take a drive and hopefully photograph a sunset for myself. My wife had the day off and suggested a trip to Hornitos with the kids. I was okay with that, since we haven’t had a family outing in a while. I didn’t mention Yosemite as an option…

  • Merced Sun-Star: Insight

    It’s been a long in coming project, almost a year, but I was just informed that my episode of “Insight” from the Merced Sun-Star is now running. It was a rocky start for sure. I was supposed to have an audio interview with a slide show presentation. After two separate tries, the audio just wasn’t…
