Thunderbird and Ice Cream

I couldn’t resist grabbing this shot of a Thunderbird sitting outside an ice cream shop in Lahaina on Maui that has similar coloring. I thought perhaps the car belonged to the owner of the shop, because the colors were just too close. I suppose that could still be the case. But when I was back ...

Carpet of Leaves, Roof of Branches

I escaped the gray and rain and cold of Seattle last week in favor of the tropical heat (and a little rain) of Maui. It was mostly a vacation with extended family, but I did manage to do some photography during the trip. This photo, at Waianapanapa State Park on the Road to Hana, was ...

Frozen REI Falls

A little unexpected urban photography this afternoon. After running an errand at Seattle’s flagship REI store, I noticed that the waterfall leading to the entrance was partially frozen. I happened to have my DSLR and a GorillaPod tripod, so I spent some time shooting. Edited across the street at Espresso Vivace (where I warmed up!) ...

Sparks Lake Cool Sunset

South Falls Bridge

I want to return to Silver Falls State Park near Silverton, Oregon, because I feel like I only scratched the surface of the area when I visited in October. This photo was shot crouched at the edge of the creek near a bridge at the South Falls. If you like the work I do, please ...

New Life on the Rooftop

You know how common photo wisdom doesn’t always sink in? When I’m making photos, I often find myself forgetting important advice such as “Look up.” It’s so easy to scan everything at eye level or lower (especially when you’re tall like I am) to locate good scenes. So I now try to make a conscious ...

Smith Rocks Sunrise

When I wrapped up the Oregon Wonders Photo Workshop in October, I had to quickly jump back into several ongoing projects, including updating my books about OS X Mavericks and the newest iPads. I took solace in the fact that winter would give me an opportunity to go through the shots. This week has been ...
