It was a gorgeous but brisk day when we headed north over the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sausalito. I had with me the brand new shiny beautiful lens I had gifted myself, and I was ready to take it for a spin. Below are some of the first images I ever took with my…
We wove through the scenic drive, driving past the red rocks and stopping at the base of the trails. We didn’t see the albino sheep I was promised (and aren’t they already white?), but we did get to see an awesome icy waterfall that started as just a small stream atop the mountain and spilled…
A week ago Mayline sent this to our inboxes: Who: Interested in design, typography, or vintage pieces of Americana? Love taking epic photos with unique, gigantic props? This looks like it will be right up your alley. What: The Neon Museum houses old neon signs from the Las Vegas strip, and the guided tour gives you details on when/how/why the signs…
Thank you so much to everyone for the birthday wishes. I apologize if my phone was off and I was unresponsive to Facebook posts, as was out in the desert for much of the day. A group of at least twenty of us took a brief trip out of Las Vegas to visit Red Rock…
There are neon lights and sparkling lights and reflections of lights that crowd the strip. This must be America’s playground. Architects get to come and build things that aren’t reasonable or practical by any means, and it all fits right in. Here is a glimpse of where I am for the weekend. An amazing almost-penthouse…
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…
Tourists may attempt to call it “Frisco” but locals often refer to it simply as “the city,” despite all the patronizing scoffs from New Yorkers. San Francisco is the city of the Bay Area, overlooking Oakland to the East and San Jose to the South. San Francisco has now been my home for half a year….
I have always been a more expressive writer than speaker. Writing often allows me to process my thoughts in a deeper, more personal way. So alongside my photography, I have come to embrace writing as an extension of my self expression. My personal posts on this blog have been a mixture of passion projects, travelogues,…
A couple months ago, Levi’s (yes, as in the jeans) opened an amazing community resource in downtown, New York City. A free photography workshop. Free classes, free printing services, free computer labs, free studio space, and even an entire array of vintage cameras available for 24 hour rentals– for free! Yes, it’s real, and it’s…
It already seems so distant, that feeling of jetting day to day. Over the course of sixty days I flew across the country, traveling for work and (mostly) for fun. For the first thirty days, I had a JetBlue All You Can Jet pass, which allowed me to fly as much as I wanted, wherever…
We were running around Los Angeles a couple days before Jenny & Kevin’s wedding, a group of 10 to 20 friends in town for the wedding, and it was all shopping, hanging out, and most importantly– eating. All you can eat Korean barbecue, fish tacos, more fish tacos, Taiwanese homestyle meals, and Yogurtland. And that…
We sat on the porch at Woodford Reserve, rocking back in the wooden chairs and shielding our eyes from the afternoon sun. I had to take this moment to let all of the Kentucky goodness soak in. All weekend it was rolling green golf courses, multicolored trees, majestic horses, and a premium bourbon distillery, and…
