This was taken in early January at an event at a Buddhist monastery. I was walking past these flowers and spotted the Buddha through the flower petals.
On a warm Sunday afternoon I drove up to the mountains to see what I could see and stumbled upon this windmill. It was surrounded by a chain-link fence - so I decided to use that to my advantage and shoot through the branches.
A cold February day at the beach. But shooting in overcast light always has its advantages. I feel like a fairy or some other kind of extradinary creature will stumble into view.
I remember walking past a cafe on my way to meet a friend. This flower was sitting on the table in the hot sun. I loved the contrast between the white flower and the dark table.
This image was taken when I was driving around town looking for locations for an engagement shoot. I've always loved the romance of train travel and this image makes me feel nostalgic for days past when everyone traveled by railway.
I was walking through the streets of Florence when I came upon this chair. I wonder who was sitting there before I walked up? I was drawn to the graffiti and to the muted colors. It's just not something I would stumble upon in the states.
Verona, Italy. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was crossing the courtyard on my way to the piazza. I happened to glance over and saw this little girl was waiting for her parents to come out of the church. I saw her framed in the doorway and had only seconds to bring the camera up to my eye. As soon as I clicked the shutter, she was gone.
This flag was hanging on the porch of a cafe I found up near the Laguna Mountains. It was about four in the afternoon and as I walked up the steps intent on grabbing a quick coffee to go, I saw the light coming through the material. I love the way it glows.
This image always makes me laugh. I was visiting a small town in Lucca when I happened upon this hanging chicken. I'm still not sure why it was there.
A detail shot from an abandoned car I found. They just don't put that much attention to detail in cars anymore.
I love umbrellas and I love the rain. I get so excited when the two of them come together and...I happen to have my camera with me. I love the curve of the sidewalk and the geometric shape of the storefronts.
A bit of a hazy day when this image was taken. I thought black and white was an appropriate match for the subject matter.
Lines and shapes always catch my eye. I love to find ways to break up the space in an image. The colors also help to make this image pop.
When do you ever find an angel on the wall like this? This statue is part of a war memorial dedicated to WWII veterans.
One of my favorites. I want to take a seat in that chair and enjoy the late afternoon sun on my face. The texture of the wall and the colors get me excited.
Coronado as dusk fell. My favorite thing is the red stripes on the water.
I caught this little girl running towards the water. Sometimes magic does happen.
San Diego looks a lot more metropolitan in this photograph. After I took this shot, the train police asked me to get off the tracks. Lol..jpg)
The streets take on a dreamy quality when photographed in the rain. This is near Time's Square.
One of my favorite movies is Foul Play. When I saw this little car, I thought of Goldie Hawn's yellow convertable in the movie. This image was used in a travel book for Fiesole Italy.
Smoke stacks in Morro Bay. I love the simplicity of the lines.
Another of my favorite things -- paper lanterns. These hang in China Town in Los Angeles.
Disney's Symphony Hall. A study in lines and cool architecture.
A Christmas window in New York. I feel like she's going to come alive at midnight. Anyone remember the Twilight Zone episode where that happened?
Skyscrapers through naked trees in Battery Park.
Late afternoon light creates good dramatic light. This drain cover is near my house. I was going for a walk and saw it and ran back and grabbed my Nikon.
An abandoned house I found while I was driving. So glad I had my camera that day. I love finding the unexpected when I take a drive. You never know what you may find.
The view from Central Park. Can you feel the temperature dropping?
The first day of school in the rain. Shouldn't it be a movie poster to some cool Italian film?
I can't get enough of umbrellas. I want to jump into this picture and walk with them.
I shot this image at around midnight. I had my tripod in the middle of the street and got soaked, but it was worth the effort.
Even bicycles in Italy are sophisticaterd. I was actually lost and trying to find my way back to the main street and walked down this small alley. Surprise.
The Crystler Building with a little bit of steam. Nothing beats the skyscrapers in Manhattan. It's as good as a chocolate donut. Hope you enjoyed a little of my work...until next time.
