I’ve just added my new photo gallery page. Take a look at some of my past photography of areas such as the San Francisco East Bay Region Park District, National Parks, and a smattering of other subjects. I’m adding more to this page all the time, so come back soon!

Late Afternoon Morros
Here’s a nice shot I took last April on a hike up to the top of Cerro Alto, off of highway 41 near Morro Bay, CA. This is the highest peak, at 2624 feet, in the area. Beautiful!

Meadow Full of Clouds
Here are a few more photos of Valencia Peak and the surrounding Montana de Oro State Park. Actually, all of these photos were taken on a couple of days during June and July of 2005. This is a truly special place!

Blue and Gold Spectacle
Well, I’ve finally finished my template scheme for my photography, and I’m really happy with them. I’ve even rigged up a slick little way of alternating between a standard “thumbnail” display and a “light table” display of thumbnail images, based on some great Eric Meyer techniques. Check it out!
For my first set of photos, I’ve picked out a series I took in July, 2005 on a hike in Montana de Oro State Park near San Luis Obispo, CA. Valencia Peak, at 1347 feet, is the highest point in Montana de Oro park, so naturally, that’s the hike I am drawn to! It is truly a beautiful hike, situated next to the Pacific Ocean, where the fog continuously rolls in and out causing the light to continuously change. From a photographer’s viewpoint, the conditions couldn’t be better!
I hope you enjoy these photos. I will write soon in more detail about this great Valencia Peak Trail hike.

I took this photo (sans lights!) on a cross–country motorcycle trip during the summer of 1999. I got really lucky, photography–wise, when I hit a thunderstorm in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I was able to take a series of about eight shots of the Grand Tetons that I am really proud of. This shot is a natural for a bit of Christmas cheer!
Wishing you and yours a very, Merry Christmas!
Grand Tetons, Pine Tree, (and Christmas Lights!)
