Resting Turtle

After a big dinner here on Oahu’s North Shore, the extended family went on to look for the locals’ favorite shave ice place, while the photo nerd chose not to waste one of a handful of sunset opportunities and passed on the famed syrupy coldness. I jumped in the rented (insert non-sensical and unpronounceable VW […]

Going Wide

A friend on Facebook just asked me for advice about wide angle lenses, and rather than relay what I know to another individual, I thought I’d post here for him and anyone else who’d like to hear my thoughts.

Amazing Light

Yesterday I’d seen several views of the Golden Gate Bridge with a fantastic wave of fog rolling in, obscuring the bridge itself but low enough that the towers were peeking through, and hoped it would last until I could head over there in the evening. By the time I got moving across the Bay Bridge, […]
