Super Bloom Carrizo Plains

Posted on Updated on

I had heard about the Carrizo Plains a few years ago and wanted to find it. It was a Saturday and the original location I wanted to shoot at didn’t pan out so I decide to go for it. I arrived mid morning and there were already several cars in the valley. I started looking for any place that had less people. The road sign said Caliente Ridge and I followed that to the top. Looking back at the valley below, I knew I made the right decision.

Goodbye my friend

Posted on Updated on

This week I said goodbye to my dog Hana. Always an explorer, leading the pack or following behind when she grew tried. She was the fluffiest guard dog you’d ever met. But so gentle if you offered her a cookie. Twelve years wasn’t enough but we had so many adventures that I will always remember.  Goodbye my friend

Monochrome Mountains

Posted on Updated on

I’m discovering that taking photos in black and white brings out amazing textures and shadowing. I went for a short snowshoe hike along the Angora Ridge in South Lake Tahoe. It was midday and the lighting was pretty harsh. I switched my camera to Monochrome and took a few shots of the Crystal Range mountains in the distance.
