Once Upon a Time, There was the Grand Canyon

This is a photo of the Grand Canyon. I think it was Navajo Point, but I’m not positive. This and Mather Point are my two favorite spots so far. Eventually, I want to see the Grand Canyon from the north side. Lots of cool stuff up there, but it’s a bit more out of the…
The Creole Cafe of Old Town San Diego

This is a Night HDR photo. It’s more difficult to shoot HDR once it’s completely dark. The color balance is really hard to get right since there is no point of reference. You have to experiment a lot and go for more of a look. I guess that’s true for a lot of HDR photography.
HDR Photo the Horseshoe Bend of Glen Canyon

The Horseshoe Bend of Glen Canyon is a stunning sight that rivals the Grand Canyon in beauty. Although it is smaller and has fewer activities, the natural scenery is breathtaking.
The Whaley House of Old Town San Diego

The Whaley House of Old Town San Diego is the most haunted house in the United States. It’s also the oldest brick house or the first of its kind in San Diego.
Glen Canyon Dam

This dam is a hydroelectric plant that creates Lake Powell, which is the second-largest man-made reservoir in the country. This dam was finished and built around 1966. In 1983, it nearly collapsed from all the flooding that occurred that year. It seems like it’s a bit bigger than the Hoover Dam, the much more famous…
One Foot from Death

This is a photo I took while standing on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Horseshoe Bend in Arizona – not the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
Mud Jeep – Canon 5DmkII

This little masterpiece is a great example of why you should always take your camera with you everywhere.
Santa Barbara Orange Reflection

The other night, I was in Santa Barbara taking photos around the Pier. I’m slowly collecting all the piers of Southern California. While walking down to get a nice wide shot of the pier, I looked across this dirty little inlet lagoon thing that smelled really bad and saw all these trees and this little…
Tower Pizza of The Danish Town Solvang

A couple of miles out of Santa Barbara, California, is a small Danish town called Solvang. It feels as though Vikings built it one hundred years ago or something. Actually, they probably did, but I haven’t done my research on the place yet.
Two Seagulls in a sea of Mussels

This is an HDR photo of two seagulls relaxing in a sea of mussels during sunset. It was a very low tie, so the mussels were all exposed. I’m sure the seagulls were looking for an easy meal with all the other animals that were exposed. I’m on a 16mm shot in this photo, and…
