Flower, Razar State Park, 2009
This was mostly an experiment in depth of field. In fact, after I got my 50mm F1.4, I went around snapping lots of pictures on the camping trips, trying to exercise my curiosity for detailed highlights. I’m posting this one because it’s…morbid. This is actually the most morbid picture of a flower I’ve ever seen.…

Sunset, Iron Springs, 2009
A nascent family tradition is to spend a weekend at Iron Springs. I was quite pleased that I was able to get some sunset pictures out of it. I don’t often take my camera near a wet beach. This time I was, and running around wildly shooting up the landscape. This one makes a better…

Boats, Morro Bay, 2009
My father’s parents lived together for many years near Morro Bay. I visit there to see grandma Mary and bring the kids. Morro Rock is an impressive piece of geology, but it’s not in this picture. I was able to capture the weathering of the boats at the dock that day. I also got some…

Log, Samish Island
This was an early morning shot from Samish Island. I like the “inverted” lighting from the low sun angle. I was impressed that I could get the depth of field just on the log and the trees in the background were out focusing range. Order a print! While I was on Samish Island, I was…

UCTV Lecture on Sugar
Rosalind attends local Weston Price Foundation meetings. This weekend she came back bubbling about how this video they watched supported a lot of ideas that Sally Fallon writes about. Sugar: The Bitter Truth runs over an hour long, it’s a lecture. Consider these points: Fructose is metabolized more like alcohol, and has to be converted…

Bell Telephone Sign
I saw this at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California. Jesse was just getting over a cold and Liam was getting badgered by me to drink water. It was only about 99F that day. I got to see the inside of a diesel train, that was neato. Print Version. Once again, angles and…

Vanadanite, 2010-01-09
One of the most beautiful minerals I know is vanadanite. It compares to diotase and wulfenite. Bob generously gave Liam some minerals to kick start his own collection, and for his science fair project we were taking pictures of them. Order a print! Reds are easy to juice up. The actual specimen is not quite…

Skagit Wetlands, 2010-01
We went to look for geese and eagles–and found both. I didn’t bring big lenses or tripods, so pictures of birds would have proved vain. I have a 200mm lens, and that would become like ~280-300mm when using a CCD. Anyhow, as usual, the clouds are sometimes the best parts of trips to Skagit. Order…

Wreck at Big Morongo
This was an old wreck in Big Morongo Canyon, just soaking up the sun after 60 years of neglect. I like taking pictures of entropy and geometry and neglect. Some might think it’s cheap character, though. Order a print!

Wood from Big Morongo Perserve, 2007
This picture was from some logs at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve in 2007, after fires swept through the Little San Bernardino mountain area (among other places). It was super duper hot that day, and Jesse fell asleep in the kid backpack for a lot of the walk. Order a print!
