Grand Central Station
Looks like the Grand Central Station turned 100 this year. That’s pretty cool, and it’s definitely one of the cooler locations I went to in New York. I was surprised/disappointed to see the entire second floor of the station converted into an Apple Store. It just seemed wrong. You have such a piece of history;…

San Clemente Life
There was a rare and beautiful sunset at the San Clemente Pier last Sunday. This photo almost didn’t happen. I didn’t have my tripod base plate for my camera, and I was running a bit late to the beach. Luckily, a parking spot popped up immediately when I got there, and I ended up using…

Beacon at Davenport – Santa Cruz
While in Santa Cruz, my mission was to take photos of the Davenport abandoned pier. But the weather was so bad, and the high tide made it impossible to get to the pier. So, the mission failed. But I did find this cool rock shining through the fog like a beacon. You could barely see…

Bridge Rock Of Santa Cruz
The weather was a bit on and off while I was in Santa Cruz last weekend. This thick cloud of fog came in the afternoon, so you only had a few hours in the morning to get any decent photos that weren’t foggy. The main shot I wanted in Santa Cruz was of the Davon…

McWay Falls of Big Sur California
This last weekend, my wife and I decided to take a small drive up to Santa Cruz and then down South through Monterey into Big Sur. I’ve done this drive a few times now, and out of all the places I’ve been, I still think it’s one of the most beautiful drives in the world.…

Afar – Death Valley
This is another B&W print from the Mesquite Dunes of Death Valley. For some reason, I get a strange grain structure when converting my images taken with a 5Dmkii to Black and White. It gives this very digital-grain look. I’m unsure if it’s a combination of noise reduction, sharpness, and clarity mixed with a ton…

Pinnacles of Trona
The Pinnacles of Trona are just outside of Death Valley, California. This was once an ancient lake bed. The pinnacles are formed from ancient hot sprints that crack through the lake floor to combine with the mineral-rich waters, forming calcium carbonate. The Pinnacles are huge! This was a very popular location for sci-fi movies before…

Cosmopolitan Lobby
I’m Back! I’ve been busy these last few weeks with being sick and overhauling my website. Unfortunately, I can’t work full time, design my website, and post photos all at the same time. I hope you like the new look. I still have a few things planned for it that shouldn’t take too much longer.…

Shores of Laguna
A rare and beautiful sunset on the unique shores of Laguna Beach. I remember visiting these beaches as a kid to skimboard along the beach breaks. I feel like no other place in Southern California has waves and beaches like these. It’s such an awesome place with a unique Southern California Vibe. For the last…

APS-C vs Full Frame Sensors – Here Is Why It Matters
There is often this idea around the interwebs that an APS-C camera is good enough for many professionals and that the difference between a full-frame and an APS-C sensor is almost negligible. So why would I want a full-frame camera vs an APS-C camera, and what is the difference?
