5 Things I Learned Last Night About Snow
Never having lived through a snowy winter, there is much about dealing with the white stuff I don’t know. Last night was a great learning experience, for I learned ALL SORTS of things related to snow. Having gone to the eastern shore each night of this current trip to Lake Tahoe, I decided last night […]

How long did it take to make this photograph? About two hours last night to get it just right, plus several trips over the past year to find the right location and perspective, four evenings in the past two weeks waiting for the sky to be perfectly clear, and several months waiting for the above […]

For the first time in quite a while this photographer actually make some photographs last night. For months now, work for me has been about producing the MotoMatters calendar and our “Fast Things” t-shirt, printing landscape images for display in one of the Northstar at Tahoe shops, and filling orders for the Rossi glowing brakes […]

When I was in graduate school one of my professors said something like, “The thing about Shakespeare is that in spite of all the people who say how great he is, he really is pretty good.” I was reminded of this comment at one point last week as I was thinking that Yosemite is the […]

These spring snow storms I mentioned last time can come in pretty quickly. On Saturday evening I was on the east shore of Lake Tahoe hoping for something amazing to photograph and was pleased, at first, to see a snow storm coming down over the mountains and heading right for me. It’s not every day […]

The story of Rossi’s glowing brake discs For a year I had a unique photograph. As far as I could tell, after searching everywhere I could think of, I was the only one who’d gone to the entrance of Turn 1 at Losail in 2009 and captured the glowing brakes as the MotoGP riders as […]

These rocks are by the old Sutro Baths in San Francisco, and I don’t think anything has a better spot to watch the SF sunsets than they do. Info: Made with a Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens, on a Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod with a […]
