Graceland Cemetery in Chicago has some very cool and very old graves. This is one of them that I tried to focus on one detail and let the rest of the tower fall into the background.

I went to a viewpoint above the Golden Gate Bridge to catch sunset and later get some photos with the night sky in the background. I ended up really liking some of the ones I got before the sun disappeared, like this one of a container ship passing under the bridge.

This old piece of brewing equipement at Sierra Nevada in Chico caught my eye. The shape of the old valve handles really stands out.

Diving in Monterey can be pretty dark and cold. I was able to light up this starfish just right to make him pop out from the sandy bottom and seaweed. This was my first dive with a new underwater setup and I was happy with the results

After the outsidelands concert in San Francisco, they lit up the trees with crazy colored lights. It was very sureal.

A water taxi passes by some Chicago skyscrapers.

It has been very hot here, so I wanted to post something red.  This is one of the daylilies from my yard.  The red petals really get the rest of the flower to pop.

I was out shooting around dusk and wanted to do something a little different with the typical over the top attractions all of the casinos have. Taking this photo at an angle and getting close to the fountain made it unique.

I love the vegas.  This view from the Venetian was particularily colorful and the full moon was beautiful!

At the Outsidelands concert in San Francisco, they have a huge wine tent called Winelands.  This is a view of all the great wine tasting that goes down inside.
