NYC Epic Sunset

I have so many photos of NYC from the Top of the Rock that it’s fun to pick one here and there and go crazy with Photoshop just to see what happens. I’m still learning more and more techniques so I’m getting a lot faster with it. Unfortunately, when I was in New York, I…
Stars Above Monument Valley

This was my first attempt at making a Milk Way landscape shot. I know there are several formulas but the elements are always changing and you just have to keep trying different settings until you look good. I ended up with a 30-second shutter at an f2.8 with ISO 3200 and a bit of Photoshop.…
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…
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…
Maximus Shopilius

This shot is from Las Vegas on the Strip. I went up there for a day, and it was Hot! Driving out there, it was 120 degrees at times. The A/C quit working for a bit, then mysteriously started working again. And on the way back, the idler pully broke, destroying one of the belts.…
