Take Five

Some places have a rhythm all their own. A funky beat that is its own language . Baker Beach seems to be one of those places. A place to get into the grove and feel what it's putting down.

Drought

Still no rain and what little water there is, you have to look for. California's back country is dry. The recent wildfires are sure to bring some mudslides and reek additional fire related havoc. Must be the season of the witch...

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.
