Rorschach
Another sunset shot at San Gregorio Beach during the photowalk led by Jay Patel and Varina Patel . This one reminded me of an ink blot. What do you see?

I got a chance to meet some of the best landscape photographers (Jay Patel, Varina Patel, Patrick Smith) on a photo walk this weekend. We met up at San Gregorio Beach near my house and had a great time trying not to be swept away … Read More →
Through Dreams

Lost in the Enchanted Woods
It made no sense. Maya had followed the imp’s instructions perfectly and yet she was lost in the labyrinth of the enchanted woods. Hadn’t that mischievous little creature said to take a left past the old water wheel and follow the stream all the way … Read More →

The Apple in the Crystal Jar
I was in Shanghai this past December and I tried to get out every evening to see if I could find some cool places to photograph. It was mostly a bust though. One day I took a taxi to the abandoned apocalyptic mess that was … Read More →

My daughter was trying on my hoodie and I captured this photo of her giving me a look. =)
San Francisco Sunset
This past weekend I met up with my BFF and his family in Tilden Park to ride the miniature steam train. We used the kids as an excuse, but it was really us who wanted to ride the little choo choo that could. On the … Read More →
