Jackson Hole has always been on Alex’s ski destinations bucket list, so for his birthday we hopped on a direct flight and landed straight in a national park. Jackson Hole is so named because the town of Jackson is surrounded by mountain ranges, including the Grand Tetons. Comically, even though we were in town for…
Over Superbowl Sunday and Valentine’s Day week, we opted for an entire week working remotely from Truckee, near Tahoe. I found us a remote little cabin, completely with wood-burning stove and chickens outside! Towards the end of the week our friend Vince even stopped by for a short stay. Feeding the fire and the chickens…
Tahoe between Christmas and New Year’s– I would definitely advise against it! And yet, that’s what worked for Alex and I to be able to take a little trip with my mom, so away we went, into the traffic and lines and crowds. It was lovely once we got past the hour-long standstill traffic to…
For Fourth of July weekend, I embarked on a lovely four-day road trip up north through Sacramento, Chico, Redding, McArthur Burney Falls, and eventually Lassen Volcanic National Park, before circling back down to the Bay. The trip starts with a visit to the California State Capitol… because as of last year I started visiting state…
It’s time to head for the Alps! This was the main goal of our Switzerland trip: to walk around in nature and breathe in that salubrious mountain air. Admittedly I was imagining springtime when I planned the trip for mid April, but while it was springtime in the cities, it was actually still winter up…
We continue our journey around the Ring Road with part two of our Iceland adventures! As you may recall, Cassie and I closed out our epic third day of the trip in Hofn. We then continued on our counter-clockwise road trip around the country by visiting some small towns on the eastern side of the…
Like any sensible photographer-traveler, I have had my sights set on Iceland for quite some time. Neither Cassie nor I remember exactly how we started talking about Iceland with each other, but suddenly, as we are prone to doing, we had dates and flights and were making it happen. We were visiting in the beginning…
Tiffany and Brian are now engaged after being together for about ten years. Much of that time has involved all sorts of jetsetting around the world, with Tiffany moving around the country as she completes her medical training while Brian flies out every week to consulting clients in other countries or cities, or just with…
I spent Christmas Day lounging around at home until it was time to head to the airport. Overnight, I flew cross-country to New York City, and there I arrived, dark and early, at 6am. This was my first time spending the holidays in New York, and with all the crazy snowstorms this year, it was…
The fluffy white snow had begun crusting into ice, rain fell from the sky, and our fingertips were frozen, but with a classic Hasselblad 501C in hand, it was all tolerable. Beautiful, even. I can think of no better way to commemorate a snowy New York City than with these lovely film– yes, analog film…
I am so excited to introduce my new personal project for 2014: Art for Art. Once a month, I will find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I’ll photograph them; they’ll photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge ourselves…
I have fond memories of growing up in Michigan and looking out at the deck to see the feet of snow that piled on top of our picnic table outdoors to form a giant snow cake. Here in San Francisco we’re never really graced with such winter wonderlands. But it’s just as well, because I…
