A handful of recent images.
Eerie Shores
A famous beach for California landscape photographers. This beach always feels dark and eerie to me with the large and sharp sea stack and frequent overcast skies.
Breaking Through
A recently discovered hidden gem. I've explored this forest a handful of times now - the numerous redwoods and coastal fog that tends to inundate this location in the morning makes it a fun place to shoot.
Redwood Mists
I spend hours walking back and forth along the same trail to try to find new and less obvious compositions. This was a result of that effort and one of my favorite shots from a very productive photography morning.
Coastal Wonders
Still one of my favorite beaches to photograph - Marshall's Beach is always a fun challenge as the waves can be powerful and it's far from peaceful to shoot here.
Jurassic Lands
Something about this scene makes me imagine dinosaurs roaming through the forest. Shot from the Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve.
Coastal Fog
An amazing view from the hills of San Luis Obispo. Coastal fog flowing through the valley as it engulfs the Seven Sisters.
Bliss
No word better describes the feeling of watching the sun set over the Pacific on a warm evening. It was such a beautiful night, moments like this make me feel truly grateful.
Hazy Haystack Rock
A popular photography location for a good reason, sunrise from Ecola State Park.
Shores of San Francisco
I never get tired of the view from this beach. Such a stunning place to meander around and photograph. Shot from Marshall's Beach.
Gray Whale Cove
I never knew the name of this location, but this stretch of coastal highway always inspires me. Lovely soft, warm light as the sun inched closer to the horizon.
Morro Masterpiece
Not much to say here as the sunset was epic. I had wanted to catch a good sunset at Morro Bay for a while and this evening I lucked out.
Beauty of Big Sur
A picture-perfect location along Highway 1. This isn't the first time I have photographed this location and it certianly won't be the last. It may look peaceful, but the wind was gusting!
Ultraviolet
A spectacular winter sunset from Shell Beach. Out of nowhere clouds started forming late in the day so I visited a favorite location of mine, and was treated to an unexpected color explosion.
Overwatch
This large "mountain" in the middle of the canyon was a key element I focused on throughout the morning at Zabriskie Point. It was fun to watch hikers meander through these colorful badlands.
Winter Delivers
Gorgeous light bathing the shoreline of Pismo Beach, CA. My favorite aspect of this photo is the reflected color on the water.
Magnified
Incoming tide washing over Pismo Clams. The streams of sea foam add such a cool element to this scene.
Shining Spray
Incoming golden waves and a well-positioned bird. Shot from Pismo Beach.
Monterey Morning
Nice morning light at one of my favorite spots in Monterey.
