Road trips in California is something everyone should be doing if given the opportunity. It really is one of the great privileges of living in this great country of ours. If you hate America, just go on a road trip and you’ll probably feel differently afterwards. Me and my better half went on a threeContinue reading “Anza-Borrego Road Trippin’”

Beverly Hills In One Picture
It’s a definite vibe in BH. I haven’t shot there enough, but will be there more in the future. It’s gotta be one of the best neighborhoods to shoot in. Bonus, there aren’t a lot of crazy people roaming the streets like Santa Monica so I feel much more at ease.
Strike Photography At CicLAvia On Melrose Ave
On Sunday, me and my better half rode our bikes on the closed down Melrose Ave. If you don’t know what Melrose Ave is, it’s basically a long strip of designer and boutique clothing stores. Everything from Gucci to local brands. Here are a few of my favorites, mostly taken while riding my bike. OvercastContinue reading “Strike Photography At CicLAvia On Melrose Ave”
Target Camera Selfie
Rule for selfies is whenever I see myself on a screen, window, etc… I take a photo to see what it looks like. The Target one is weird though. It’s a screen right above the self checkout. I’m just looking at myself while checking out. A bit odd but good for the selfie.
What’s A High Level Keeper?
My general rule is about 5% of photos I take are keepers. Sometimes, lower, sometimes higher. My methodology for a keeper is simple. I glance at it and if it looks nice then I keep it. If it doesn’t, it’s deleted forever. But to me, there’s a difference between a low and high level keeper.Continue reading “What’s A High Level Keeper?”
Santa Monica Layered Mountains And Bay
The north Santa Monica Bay and Santa Monica mountains under yet another atmospheric river. Had a small break in the rain and some light peaked out but I was soon under the rain on my walk back home.
The Candid Snap Shot Is My Favorite
I take photos of anything I find interesting but for the me, candid snaps are my favorite. A small glimpse into life. I especially like capturing that glimpse that tells a story. No posing, no working the scene or layering and no willing the photo into existence. I have one shot a the photo. IfContinue reading “The Candid Snap Shot Is My Favorite”
Nikon Zf Selfie Under The Atmospheric River…Again
What’s up with all these atmospheric rivers? Just in February, we’ve had over a years worth of rain. Santa Monica set the two day record for rain in its 150 year recorded history. Anyways, the Zf is a sexy camera. Sometimes that matters. Probably why I bought all those Leicas. The Zf is the SLRContinue reading “Nikon Zf Selfie Under The Atmospheric River…Again”
Desert Trash
The desert is a trash lovers paradise. A glimpse of discarded materials takes me into the past. I’ve now been to quite a few states with deserts. California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Texas. That’s a lot of desert. And I’ve noticed that deserts in California have a lot of trash. More than theContinue reading “Desert Trash”
Kelso Dunes In The Mojave Desert
How blessed are we? On top of these beautiful dunes in the Mojave desert. I think the second tallest dunes in California. From the base, they rise around 640 ft. I verified this on my Gaia GPS app. Quite the scene. Does it get much better than winter in the desert? Photographers paradise as theContinue reading “Kelso Dunes In The Mojave Desert”
