Smoky Sunset
With all the smoke in the air, and an interesting layer of clouds forming, it seemed like a good night to try to get a sunset at Fernbridge. Everything went well until the battery in my camera went dead, and … Continue reading →

One More from Fort Bragg
This shot was taken after sunset from a viewpoint along Hwy. 101. It was shot with a 30 second exposure which is why the water looks the way it does. I was hoping for a more dramatic sunset that evening, … Continue reading →
Moon to Sun Fernbridge shot
A shot that I’ve wanted to get for a long time was a panoramic of the sun setting in the west at Fernbridge and the moon rising in the east over the Eel River. I’ve tried it a couple of … Continue reading →
Westport Waves
On my way home from Fort Bragg I stopped in Westport for gas. Without knowing that I was a photographer, the clerk mentioned that there is a beautiful spot to take pictures nearby and pointed the way to it for … Continue reading →
Riding off into the sunset
I wish I could say that this was me. Unfortunately, my quad has been sitting in the garage with a dead battery from lack of use during the period that the garage was being built. Something I need to take … Continue reading →
Male Model
Today I did a model shoot that was a bit different. My subject was a local male teenager who wanted to submit some pictures to the Abercrombie & Fitch modeling contest. So we went out to Loleta and shot at … Continue reading →
Waddington Sunset
I took this picture on the 28th. I’ve wanted to take a picture here with a nice sunset for a long time. I saw this sunset developing and John and I went out, just to get out of the house … Continue reading →
Prize Winning
Every year at the fair we have a drawing for a free portrait session. Thursday we had scheduled a shoot for the winning entrant and had planned to photograph her and her fiance at the beach flying a kite. Thursday … Continue reading →
Lost Coast Sunset
Since Lori started choir again last night, I went over to the Lost Coast with Dan Tubbs last night to take pictures at sunset. We were rewarded with a real pretty sunset and I came back with several nice photos. … Continue reading →
Evening Glow
I went for a long motorcycle ride today, taking the KLR out around 36. I told Lori I’d be back before 7pm. As I was starting back there was a layer of high stratus clouds which usually makes for a … Continue reading →
White Mountain Sunset in Loleta
This photo of Katherine is another bit of Photoshop trickery. Last summer during our trip to the White Mountains, I photographed some real pretty sunset pictures of the ancient bristlecone trees silhouetted against the sky. I also took some pictures … Continue reading →
Coming to a theater soon
Well the weather did cooperate, and we had a chance to finish the shoot with Katherine that we started earlier. When I showed this shot to someone in town they thought it looked like a movie poster. So if someone … Continue reading →
Mabel’s Dress
During our last photoshoot together, Mabel brought a dress to show me, knowing I have a penchant for all things sheer. I asked her to bring it along on this shoot, and it ended up being the perfect dress for … Continue reading →
Almost Balmy
If I didn’t tell you where and when this picture was taken, you’d have visions of walking along some warm tropical beach in the summer. Since in reality it was shot in December on a beach in Loleta, and it … Continue reading →
South Spit Sunset
I was working on a photoshoot for a hunting supplies catalog cover this afternoon at the South Spit in Loleta. Chelsea was modeling some of their products and then since it was a nice day (compared to how cold it … Continue reading →
Fernbridge Sunset
After people saw my Fernbridge Sunrise photo, I kept getting requests for a matching sunset photo. The usual summer fog on the coast isn’t conducive to pretty sunsets, but during our fair stint I saw one really nice sunset developing … Continue reading →
Ancient Bristlecone Forest
As we made our way north on 395, we came to the Ancient Bristlecone Forest, where some of the trees are over 4000 years old, and some of the wood lying on the ground is over 7000 years old. When … Continue reading →
Clouds at Dusk
This shot was taken the same evening, just at dusk. When she struck this pose, I noticed how the lines of her hands and arms followed the lines the clouds formed. One of those chance things that just worked.
Continue reading →Home In Time
One of the biggest things that I hate about working 10-12 hour days is that I’m not at home to watch the beautiful sunsets we have. Fortunately, the last few nights, due to later sunsets, and a decreased work schedule, … Continue reading →
Puerto Vallarta Sunset
We only had one really good sunset during the whole week, because mostly it was very cloudy offshore in the evenings. This picture was taken earlier in the week on one night that I sensed it would be a good … Continue reading →
Sunset from Fortuna
Today I went looking for the Women’s Federation Grove to scope out a site for a family picture I am taking tomorrow. This grove is just off of The Avenue of the Giants, but it is a bit hard to … Continue reading →
Sunset on Main St.
Every once in awhile, I’m reminded of what I really miss about working at home. One big benefit that I miss is the views, especially at sunset. Tonight, just before I was sitting down to type this, I decided to … Continue reading →
Fernbridge, as promised
Here’s one of the pictures taken on my second expedition to the middle of the Eel River. A bit better sunset, but still not the killer one I’m looking for.

This morning when I awoke I was sad to see that it was so dark and yet it was time to get up. I was thinking I really hated this time of year. Then I got into the kitchen and … Continue reading →
My Galen Rowell Impression
Today’s shot was taken shortly after I finished shooting Sarah. So if I told you this was shot by Galen Rowell, would you believe me? This one’s definitely going in the keeper file.

Eel River Sunset looking west
Lori and I went out to Cannibal Island in Loleta and this photo and the one I’ll feature tomorrow were taken within a few minutes of each other, but looking in opposite directions from the bridge.
