  • Beneath The Windmill – Solvang California

    Beneath The Windmill – Solvang California

    My wife with her umbrella in front of a windmill in Solvang. This town has some interesting history. It was founded by a few Danes who wanted to preserve the traditions of Denmark. Many of the buildings were built in the same style and to the same standards. It really feels like you’re in a…

  • Dansk Bangeri of Solvang

    Dansk Bangeri of Solvang

    My wife and I adventured to Solvang, California, again this last weekend for a little getaway trip. I thought it was such a cool town the last time I was there, but I never ended up with any great photos, so I went back for a day with that goal in mind. You can see…

  • Countdown To Japan

    Countdown To Japan

    The countdown begins. I am doing the Japan tour again in just three weeks! This time, it will be different; I’ll travel with friends, and my goals will be slightly more of a street photography style with the Sony A7r. That camera is so well adapted to that style that I might as well take…

  • Niagara Nights At The Niagara Falls

    Niagara Nights At The Niagara Falls

    This trip to Niagara Falls was my last adventure where I shot exclusively with the Canon 5Dmkii.

  • The Good Luck Bend

    The Good Luck Bend

    It’s also known as Horseshoe Bend. It’s located just south of Page, Arizona, near the border of Utah. This is the start of the Colorado River out of Lake Powell. The area is known as Glen Canyon. Hanging this photo on your wall could also bring you good luck. 🙂 One magical characteristic of horseshoes…

  • Hermosa Beach Pier Sunset

    Hermosa Beach Pier Sunset

    This is a photo I took back in 2012. I never got around to processing it, but I’m glad I waited because my Photoshop abilities have improved dramatically since then. This photo is made up of two separate exposures. Without two, the skies would have been blown out. 

  • Buried Alive – Lower Antelope Canyon

    Buried Alive – Lower Antelope Canyon

    I’m struggling to go through all my photos from last year and finish processing them before I get my new Sony A7r. I know once I get that camera, I won’t want to touch my old 5Dmkii photos anymore, even though they are perfectly good.

  • Artist’s Point at Monument Valley

    Artist’s Point at Monument Valley

    Finally getting some time to go back through my photos. I haven’t posted much from Monument Valley, and I really think this is one of the more spectacular places I’ve been to in a while. The place almost seems fake or unnatural. I’ve also been playing around a little with the VSCO presets.

  • Up At The Lower Antelope Canyon

    Up At The Lower Antelope Canyon

    This photo was taken in the Lower Antelope Canyon. I combined three shots captured at different exposures manually to create a single, well-exposed image.
