Brides in White Satin
Out looking for signs of Autumn and water reflections I stumble upon a small group of people at a wedding. It gave me pause to reflect on one of life's biggest adventures - Marriage. I wish this mystery couple well.... and congrats too.

Paddling
A herd of youth in red kayaks on blue water is sure to catch the eye, at least it is for me. The colour combo, along with the flags waving in the breeze were just too compelling not to photograph.

Don't look back
This was the week of travel for sure. What was old is new again. What was dying is alive and vibrant. The cycle of life rolls on down the road of time.

The good light
Is it just me or are there days where the light just takes on a special quality?
Everywhere you go, and everything this light shines on seems to come to life.
Why o' why, can't there be more days like these... Maybe there are just outside of my cubicle...

Thumpin'
Sounds, so far away, fill the air. They add a pulse to the unfolding events of the day.
Surely this time things won't end badly....

Channel Keeper
This image that I took a few years ago has turned into a real project. Since I'm up early a lot, I have the opportunity to photograph sunrises. This is a good time of day as most people are just getting up an there aren't a lot of folks around. I've found that in order to make a compelling image a few elements are needed, such as this dredge and pelicans. This silhouettes provide for the interest and contrast with the orange and yellow morning sky.
I posted the image on my website, copied the photo onto a DVD and moved on. Forgotten really!
Well, a local fisherman really liked the image and wanted it on a T-Shirt. That's where the project end of this got started...

On red
Mid-day, under full sun isn't really the best time to be shooting bright reflective surfaces like cars. The key is to slow down and look at your subject matter. If you do, there will be plenty to photograph.

Yonder
Shapes of people and their shadows can be very effective in telling a story and conveying a sense of mystery. They make great subjects, and in most cases are easy to incorporate into a photo. Most of the time you just have to wait for someone to walk by and when they are in a position you think works - click.

Helping Hand
But as for me, I will walk in my integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
And there's millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted
And they will never be any influence on me
But you will always be
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted
And they will never be any influence on me
But you will always be
Lead me down the path of truthfulness and honesty, in creation a life set free.

Nothing like it
The California coast is a constantly changing canvas. It's never the same, day to day, nor hour to hour. There's nothing like it, not even itself.

Moving Shadow
Sunset is a time to reflect on events of the day, plan for the days ahead, and a time to get out and clear the mind. A time to connect briefly with the fading light.

Rhythm of the Saints
Watching people engaged in dance and lost in the moment can be almost magical.
The dancers and music become one and it becomes a challenge to try and convey that in images.

Call of the wet
When the sun is out the the weather is nice, the natives get restless and are quickly lured down to the sea. Can't say that I blame them. Time well spent is time doing what you love.

On the edge
Is an image able to communicate something with just a few elements? That was the question the other night at a photography workshop. I've never given it too much thought, but took it more or less for granted that it can.
Most of the photographers there agreed. What got really interesting was the discussion on what visual communication says, and how it says it.
