Santa Monica Spin #4 Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Santa Monica, California
Story:
The fourth in the Santa Monica Series shows the new wheel just after sunset. I waited again for the sand to briefly become
smooth and for the ever-changing color of the wheel to be complementary to the blues in the sky. The wheel does not spin very
often so it takes a while to get it right.

The Snows of Diablo - Panorama Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum
Location: Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, California
Story:
A rare December snowfall covered half of the mountain while the last of the fall foliage from the street trees holds on for one last
show. Fortunately, the clouds stayed long enough to provide a nice light show as the sun set behind the camera. See the previous
photo for a 2x3 ratio print of this same scene. This photo can be printed up to 6 feet wide with fine resolution.

Silicon City Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Yerba Buena Island/San Francisco, California
Story:
San Francisco and Silicon Valley to the south are the home to most of the world's leading technology companies. From Computer
hardware, to networking and internet social networking they are all here. And the city has a high-tech look too which feels 'cutting
edge' when you are in the middle of it. It is an exciting place to be! There are also many traditional areas of town that feel more
like a European or Asian city than anywhere in the United States. And there are a few nice views to be had too!

Bridge to Yerba Buena Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Yerba Buena Island/San Francisco, California
Story:
The 10,305 ft long west span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge carries 102 million cars per year on its two decks with 5
lanes on each. Only the George Washington Bridge in New York is busier with 108 million cars per year.

Fishing at the Golden Gate Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Marin County Headlands, Sausalito, California
Story:
A small fishing boat moved slowly with the tide during this 2-minute exposure just after the sun set. I had to climb down a steep
hillside to get low enough to show the city skyline entirely under the bridge. You will rarely see a photo from this location. Do not
attempt this if you have vertigo!

Light on the Marin Headlands Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: San Francisco, California
Story:
I noticed that a combination of a very low tide, a clearing storm, and a December sun angle pointing towards the Marin headlands
could put on a rare show, so I headed out to see if it would happen. Just 20 minutes before I made the photograph, the sky was
heavy and dark. But finally a hole opened up in the clouds to the west and the sun came through for about 5 minutes. It was
quite a show!

Garrapata Surf #3 Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Garrapata State Beach (main beach), Big Sur, California
Story:
A soft light met the pounding surf at the main beach in Garrapata State Park at the north end of Big Sur, near Carmel, California. I
noticed the waves pounding this rock and focused on it for a while to capture the best views I could. #3b is the same composition
with sand in front, which made a completely different picture.

The Curl Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Garrapata State Beach (main beach), Big Sur, California
Story:
I noticed the aquamarine-green color of the waves that appeared for just a fraction of a second in front of the dramatic sky. So I
set up and waited until I had captured it just right. This picture raised $800 for Haiti Charity Relief on Flick and because the #1
most interesting landscape photo out of over 4 million. Many other photos of mine has reached number one too.

Garrapata Surf #5 Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Garrapata State Beach (main beach), Big Sur, California
Story:
The sunlight tried to find gaps in the clouds, but turned them a glowing orange instead. I waited for the waves to strike the rock
before making the exposure. Then I was hit, but that is the price that must be paid!

Garrapata Stone Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Garrapata State Beach (main beach), Big Sur, California
Story:
Garrapata beach has many interesting stone formations, like this one right here. So I waited for the clouds and waves to form a
pleasing background with this rock as the main subject.

Sun and Storm Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Grey Whale Cove, Pacifica, California
Story:
A big pacific storm churned up the ocean at Grey Whale Cove, into a sea of spray and mist, just as the sun was setting. Here the
surf pounded the beach with surges of water covering this very spot up to 10 feet deep every few minutes!

The Endless Sea #1 Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum Traditional print and frame
Location: Marin Headlands, Sausalito, California
Story:
A series of powerful storms created dramatic skies and huge surf extending out to the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, a
shallow area far offshore. The wind was a constant 50mph with gusts that could easly knock people down. I found a place right
above a vertical cliff where the wind seemed to go right over the top of me, allowing the camera to be stable on the tripod. This is
the most intense weather in which I have ever attempted to photograph!

to the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, a shallow area far offshore. The wind was a constant 50mph with gusts that could

Pinnacle Rock #3 Buy license, or a print on canvas or aluminum
Location: Point Lobos State Park, Carmel by the Sea, California
Story:
I recently revisited this spot at the end of the point at Point Lobos to capture a new view. This place is located at the north end of
Big Sur just south of Carmel, California. It could keep a photographer busy for months or even years. It is a peninsula that has
been sculptured by large Pacific waves over millions of years and the results are stunning. This is one of the western-most points
of rock and is probably 50 feet tall at high tide. Sometimes waves wash over the entire rock. The most interesting motion was
occurring just as the waves curl around the rock. I captured a little motion with a 1/4-second exposure.
