I’m just not quite sure what it used to be. It is in a prime location in Healdsburg, but certainly looks to be in disrepair!

I miss the Oregon coast. I really like the way the horizon fades away into a fuzz and then into the sky in this shot. A great day for a drive down the coast!

An unknown couple at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. They were having their picture taken by a photographer with a very long lens very far away. The bright pink umbrella got my attention and I was able to get this anonymous shot without getting in the way. Success!

There is lots of available office space. I found this excellent example of a brand new and never occupied building. The lines of it are modern and sharp, so it did serve my purposes of creating an image on this overcast day.

Normally the weather in Northern California this time of year is quite boring for photography. Sunshine, warm days and zero clouds. This year has not been normal. I took advantage of the crazy weather and shot these trees. The lighting was constantly changing and the shadows in the trees and on the ground were all over the place from the shifting clouds above.

Two local markets on opposing corners of the street. Which will win your business? I guess this is what free competition in the market is all about, and the same applies to these guys.

Don’t be fooled, this is not the Golden Gate Bridge. I know, it can be difficult to tell the difference, but this is the much smaller Guy West Footbridge at Sacramento State University. It is still a pretty cool bridge and provides easy access to the trails on the other side of the American River.

This photo sums up my weekend pretty well. Sunny days and plenty of vineyards and wine. I was in Healdsburg and had an excellent time!

The Charles River surrounded by the city of Boston. I had a hell of a time getting this shot. There was a small tripod involved, lots of lights behind me reflecting on the glass, and oh yeah, tons of crazy kids jumping around so much the whole building was shaking. I was able to eek this out, and I don’t think it is half bad!

A ferry ride home from Cozumel made for a great trip, and a view of some interesting cloud formations such as these four offsetting the moon.
