Hurricane Dusk - San Francisco, California
The remnants of a hurricane made for a spectacular sunset during the summer dry season which rarely produces any clouds other than fog. It is rare to see fog and clouds together, but they put on a show on this evening!At The Pier #1 - San Francisco, California
The remnants of a hurricane made for a spectacular sunset not only pointing towards the sun but also here pointing away from the sun. People spent some brief moments witnessing this event.

Transbay #1- San Francisco, California
An enormous work of art is being created in downtown San Francisco. The 1100 ft. tall transbay tower and transit terminal with 4-block long park on top is being built. The city will be transformed with this project and many other towers exceeding 900ft. (300m) are bring built too. This will become another dynamic part of the city. This open view will never be seen again. This print is available in sizes: 2x5 ft., 3x7.5 ft., and 4x10ft. click to see this and every photo in a larger size.

Alcatraz #1 - San Francisco, California
It was a dark and misty morning, but the sun began to burn off the fog and the burning rays pierced through to illuminate the bay and Alcatraz Island. This only lasted for a few minutes. I felt fortunate to witness this event.

At the Shore #1 - Carmel, California
The first in a series of long-exposures showing people at the shore and how fleeting their time there is. No matter what we do, time moves on and the beautiful moments pass. This would look good at 40x60 inches.

Ladders - San Francisco, California
I was driving down the street when in the distance I saw this incredible light reflecting off of another building onto these buildings.

Available in 40 tall x 20 wide and 60 tall x 30 wide.

Victory! - Union Square, San Francisco, California
At the top of the dewey monument in Union Square, San Francisco is the female figure of Victory. She wears a helmet and a long, classically styled gown. In her proper left hand she holds up a trident. In her proper right hand she holds a wreath. Her feet are bare and her proper right foot rests on a sphere. The bronze figure stands atop a tall granite column. The top of the column is ornately decorated with high relief carving. The round column ends in a squared base. The base ends in multiple steps and may originally have been flanked by four bronze bears, symbol of California.
The sculpture and memorial were installed to commemorate Commodore Dewey's victory over the Spanish fleet in the Phillippines. Groundbreaking for the memorial was attended by President McKinley on May 23, 1901. Atiken modeled the statuary and Maddock modelled the column's capitol. The memorial was dedicated by President Roosevelt on May 14, 1903. Cost of the monument was $35,537.51. In the early 1940's, the monument was temporarily removed during construction of an underground parking lot. The monument was relocated to the same site in 1942. Pflueger served as architect during the relocation."

The San Francisco Shopping Center
Here are all 8 levels of this beautiful shopping center. There is an additional lower level not shown here but no stores are there. This view is comprised of 22 images and can be printed very large. 80 degrees of vertical angle can be seen. The smallest print available is 40 wide x 50 tall and can be twice that size with fine resolution. If you look closely in the bigger image, as I shot the images to make this view, I captured some people twice. One couple appears to be looking back at themselves! and 1 set of three people appear twice on the upper right escalator.
