I absolutely love the coast and living in the Arizona desert seems to intensify that love. Spending a week on the Oregon coast gave me so many opportunities to play with light, water, and sand in my pictures. Don't be afraid to play with the bigger picture or with the minute details on the beach.

I have the privilege of sharing my passion for photography with one of my sons. We have been cruising the countryside looking for "something interesting" to shoot. It's fun to bounce ideas off each other and find the jewels together. Photography is not just a one man show... share it!

Still good after all this time


Caught me with my mouth full!

What is more fun than snooping around a farm with all the old buildings, equipment, fences, etc?!  I found details that had so much texture and color and interest for me that I'm sure I'm not done with this location.

As I travel around... I am looking for oddities, unusual shapes and colors, things to capture my (and your) interest. My attention is usually focused on the detail that is in the middle of something bigger.

A desert trip becomes an exploration of dead cactus... I seem to find beauty in the dead plants -- the inner skeleton, the broken limbs, the change in color. Some day I may get a rude surprise as I crouch down and check out the plants up close with my camera!

The Southwest has such beauty in the architecture of buildings - especially the older ones. I was fascinated by the pure white against a deep blue sky and the more I looked, the more I saw. My favorite stuff is always in the details and this trip through Ajo, Az was no different.

Nothing like a weekend in Los Angeles to inspire some city photos. I took a walkabout in the Montecito Heights area of LA and fell in love with the details there. I love being in a new area with different "stuff" to check out. I hope that I never get tired of seeing things through my camera. I challenge you to look around and see things through a new pair of eyes... enjoy!
