Dec 7, 2018. Chimney Rock Trail, Point Reyes National Seashore, California. The cliffs over Drakes Bay stand perfectly still. They can be a moving experience. (Nikon D850; Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 DI VC USD Zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 2.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Dec 24, 2018. Sonoma County Coast, California. Hidden in the Archives, waiting to be coaxed into being. Took some coaxing, but I believe the pixels are happy. (This is exactly what I said in the June 8, 2020 post. This shot was taken 54 seconds later. The technical info is corrected here, though.) (Nikon D850; Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 DI VC USD Zoom.

June 26, 2020 —Side of Mt.Tamalpais, Above Stinson Beach, Marin County, California ICM impression of an incoming fog bank. Years ago, someone — who was so much younger then — wondered what it was like to be inside a cloud. Years before that, another person — who was sooo much younger then — wondered what it was like to be inside the rings of Saturn. In both cases, wondering was more fun. A reminder that […]
June 26, 2020 —Above Stinson Beach, California On a bluff a hundred feet above a very calm Pacific. The summer fog was advancing. Fifteen minutes later there was nothing to see; the ocean was but a distant sound. (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
June 26, 2020 — Mt. Tamalpais, Above Stinson Beach, California More ICM. Less abstract, more impressionist, than a lot of what I do. Still under the thrall of the nineteenth century. (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
June 19, 2020 — Point Reyes National Seashore, California Frozen not by temperature, but by time. (Nikon D500, Tamron 100–400mm f/4.5–6.3 Di VC USD. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
June 19, 2020 — Point Reyes National Seashore, California . . .Had Turner been on the beach at Point Reyes with a camera. Which, of course, he wasn’t. This is an experiment in ICM — Intentional Camera Motion. As one might expect, the subject was moving as well, as waves are wont to do. (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
June 19, 2020 — Point Reyes National Seashore, California The summer ocean is not as rambunctious as the winter ocean. But when you get close, interesting things happen. (Nikon D500, Tamron 100–400mm f/4.5–6.3 Di VC USD. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
August 13, 2006, Big Sur Coast, California / June 17, 2020, Silicon Valley, California Several months ago, Bruce Percy inverted some of his images to create, essentially, photo negatives. It worked rather well. I thought I’d try it. (Canon 20D, Canon 24-105 f/4 Zoom. Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
June 13, 2020. Silicon Valley, California. Submit. v. tr. 3. To present (something) to the consideration of judgement of another. Most of the other definitions involve demeaning oneself. Not something I cotton to. But that is the word used when one enters work into a juried exhibition and so that’s what I spent the better part of the past two days working on: selecting the works that I felt best represented the theme, on the […]
Feb 7, 2013. Sonoma County Coast, California. It is rare that I re-post an image. It was calling to me and I could not turn a deaf ear. And it’s rare that the entire scene is blue. But it was. Check this link for the full story. (Sony RX-100. RAW processing in DxO Pro; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)

Dec 5, 2015. Big Sur Coast, California. As with yesterday’s post, a storm was on its way. Richard and Mimi Fariña were singing in my ear. The Muse and Chewy were enjoying the breeze. Turner was breathing down my neck. (Nikon D750; Nikon 28-300 f/3.5-5.6G Zoom. RAW processing in DxO Photo Pro; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
May 8, 2015. Devil’s Slide, San Mateo County, California. Revised this old favorite while trying out my new monitor. It’s still a favorite after all these years. The monitor is a new favorite. (Nikon D750; Nikon 28-300 f/3.5-5.6G Zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.3; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
April 7, 1949 — The Majestic Theatre, New York Lt. Cable: “It’s not born in you. It happens after you’re born. You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear You’ve got to be taught from year to year It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear You’ve got to be carefully taught You’ve got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made And people whose skin is […]
