a foggy sunset

Oakley, CA

Today the weather just couldn't make up its mind. It was foggy, sunny, foggy, overcast, sunny and then finally foggy again. Winter is such a fickle season.

chasing the sun

Bay Point, CA

It is so nice that the sun is out as I drive home. It is so pretty.

Just another sunset in Oakley

Oakley, CA

The sun was out all day and it felt wonderful to the face.

Antioch, CA

Last night the temperature dropped and we got snow. That isn't all that significant, but the fact that we got snow at about 500 feet above sea level is rather significant. We NEVER get snow that low around here.

I will try to take a better shot tomorrow, if it doesn't all melt away.

Muir Experiences

Marin County, CA

Today Amy, Nina and I went to Muir Woods and Muir Beach. At the woods we went hiking and at the beach we watched the sun set.

Nina's trip to SF

San Fran, CA

Today I took Nina back to SF. It was a lot of fun but really tiring.
We took the Ferry from Vallejo to SF. Then we went to ATT park so that Nina could take pictures of Palm Trees. From there we rode a Cable Car to Guiradelli Square. We checked out some boats, hung out at Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and the Musee Mecanque. (In fact - while at the Musee we ran across early pornography.) We even did a bit of shopping. To top it off, we had real bread bowls at Boudins for lunch and dinner at Johnny Rockets. All in all it was a really good day.
The top two images are my favorite from the day.

Both sides of the Bridge

San Francisco and Marin Headlands, CA

My first adventure for Nina after she flew in this morning was to see all sides of the Golden Gate. Initially we stopped at the North West side, parked and walked underneath. Next was a walk out onto the bridge, then we drove across to Baker Beach for some sunset pictures. Once the sun had set, we were back to the North East side to a spot suggested by my friend Kelley. All in all it was a rather fun day. Friday should be the biggest adventure - Taking on as many SF tourist spots as possible.

Christmas Palm Trees caught in a sunset

Oakland, CA

Today Amy and I returned to Temple hill to continue working on the set for the Magic of Christmas. We were joined up later in the day by Krista, my ex-girlfriend who I hadn't talked to in 4 years.

domed diablo

Brentwood, CA

The top of Mt. Diablo seen from Brentwood just prior to sunset. If I would highlight this shot you could see the cows playing on the hillside. However, I like this shot the way it is.

Return to Lois Lane

Lois Ln, Oakley CA

Last year, on the 16th of October I took pictures in this orchard. I was hoping this year on the 16th I could return and take pictures of this orchard. But I was sick that day so today is the soonest I could return. Please enjoy the comparison.

missed reflective shot

Oakley, CA

Well today was rather disappointing when it take to trying to take this shot. Every picture is blurred in one way or another. Oh well. Better luck next time.

black and white from Edgley Pier

Crockett, CA

I took my new film and my new film camera out to Edgley Pier to photograph in black and white. With me as well was my digital. Don't have a clue how (or even if it will) the film will turn out but here is from the same spot on digital.

Reflective sunset

Vallejo, CA

I went to a bar B Q for the Cal Maritime Bookstore employees tonight. It is a pretty good place to get sunset and water shots.

sunset from a hill

Antioch, CA

I now live on a hill where there are all these great places to take sunset and elevated pictures. Unfortunately, those spots are all owned, so I stood on the sidewalk tonight and tried to get shots between the houses and without trespassing.

just a tip of sun

Vallejo, CA

Tonight I went and saw Tom Rigney and the Flambeau at the Cal Martitime Summer Concert. With cajun and zydeco music in the back ground I watched this beautiful sunset.

**edit** For those that are curious (cough dad cough) - the sun is setting behind Mare Island.

Back to Baker Beach

Baker Beach, SF, CA

I slept through church today, and didn't do much yesterday but hang out in my room and watch movies. I began to get a little stir crazy today and just had to go somewhere and take pictures. So I drove first to Richmond, but it didn't feel right. Then I decided to go to Marin Headlands, but the traffic there was stop and go. So eventually I made it to Northern SF. My dad and I had once gone to Baker beach so I thought I'd return. However, I got lost getting there initially and ended up at China Beach. I took a few shots there before a nice park ranger gave me directions to Baker Beach. I ended up walking both beaches looking for good shots, but also just enjoying the breeze on my face and the sounds of the waves. It was nice to be there.
