The Niagara Falls Canadian Side
Over the last few days, I’ve been revisiting some of my old photo collections that I never processed. I’m always behind on my photography since it’s not my full-time job,…

Yosemite North Dome
I processed this when I first started using Color Efex Pro 4. It's a photo-processing software that I started using a few months back. I really like it, and it has really been a game-changer in my photography. You can check out a general review I wrote about on my site here: Color Efex Pro Review. It's a pretty awesome and easy-to-use piece of software.
The American Falls
This photo is from last year when I went to Toronto, Canada. It's of the American Falls taken from the Canadian side. To the right of this is the Niagara Falls. This is one of those sites that is just breathtaking in real life. It's hard to really capture the scale of this in the photo. I tried not to alter the colors too much to give the photo the most natural appearance of what the scene actually looks like. The water is really a beautiful emerald blue like this.
Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L Review and Sample Photos
My review and experiences using the original Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L series lens. My favorite lens for a long time, and definitely the most versatile.
Downtown Los Angeles City View
This is a view of Downtown Los Angeles from the Griffith Observatory. It was one of the rare clear nights—we’ve actually been having a lot of them lately. It’s very…
Grand Canyon – Mather Point
One of the great views of the Grand Canyon, Mather Point. This was the only point I had time to look at last time I was at the Grand Canyon. We got there very late in the day and the sun was only out for about an hour. Luckily for us, this was one of the better views of the Grand Canyon. I've noticed it's kind of hard to get really great photos of the Grand Canyon. The scale is so huge, it just doesn't translate into photography very well.
Griffith Observatory – Los Angeles
The Griffith Observatory is a pretty sweet spot in Los Angeles. It's incredibly crowded and almost impossible to get a photo of without people everywhere. It's incredible I pulled this off. I stayed a little longer after the park ranger told everyone to leave and got about a minute to myself.
1800’s Canadian Barn Exterior
A few weeks ago I posted an image of the interior of a barn. The landscape north of Toronto Canada is spattered with old 150-year-old barns like this. People still buy them, maintain them and use them. This one has an attached garage and a built-in studio for the owner's musical instruments. I wish I had a barn. Unfortunately, something as simple as this would probably cost a million dollars in Los Angeles.
Streets of Kyoto Japan
Walking through Kyoto, Japan, is unlike anything else. Everything is so clean and orderly. You wouldn't know it, but it was snowing earlier in the day when I took this photo. I would love to go back to Kyoto and spend more than a day there and take some proper photographs. This photo was actually taken on March 9th, 2011. I left on the 10th to stay with my wife's family just one day before the big earthquake and tsunami. Had I stayed another day like we had initially planned, I would have been stuck there because of the bullet trains being shut down. I guess getting stuck in Kyoto wouldn't be such a bad thing though.
Dejima Dutch Trading Post – Nagasaki Japan
This is what Japan would have looked like in the 1800s. It's a historically preserved part of a town in Nagasaki, Japan. This area was used as a Dutch trading post from 1641 to 1853. So, Dutch traders would have been living here. It was later integrated into the city.
