A Look Back—Moss Landing Sunset

Photograph of the sun setting at Moss Landing Beach in Moss Landing, CaliforniaThis was near the beginning of more than a decade of inspiration found at the beaches, the jetty and the slough near Moss Landing, California. I was attracted by the colorful cloud reflections from the wet sand. Sunset, December, 2004.

A Look Back—Strawberry Field Sunrise

A Look Back—Oakland Waterfront

Photograph of clouds, and the Oakland waterfront looking from Berkeley, CaliforniaThe cranes on the waterfront in Oakland looked like prehistoric creatures rising up out of the morning clouds and fog. Many of the shots I took in 2004 were in JPEG format. If had known more at the time, I could have captured more detail with a higher quality format. Oh, well.

A Look Back—Easton Orchard

Photograph of an orchard, clouds, trees and farmland in Easton, CaliforniaRealizing that I have nearly 94,000 images in my catalog, I decided it was time to do some pruning. My catalog stretches back to 2003. I found familiar landscapes and an early interest in natural beauty and interesting light. I also came across shots I had forgotten about. This was taken on a cold afternoon in December, 2003, in Easton, California.

Photograph of clouds and mountains in northern New MexicoOn this particular day the sky changed almost minute by minute. In one direction was blue sky; in this direction, building clouds. It was almost impossible not to watch the sky.
