Good friend and photographer Gino Creglia and I got an early start Friday in search of some high Sierra fall color. We were after aspen trees responding to the colder air and shorter days of the change of season. Scott Lake, off of Hwy 89, looked like a good candidate, although neither of us had [...]

Folsom Photo Walk

I hosted a photo walk in Folsom this last Saturday for members and friends of the 4th Tuesday Photo Group. We had 8 people take the walk. I chose to take the group down historic Sutter St., shooting old store fronts, signage, antiques, and any else of interest that we encountered. The benches and old [...]
Peddlers Fair, Folsom, CA.

Last Sunday Sutter St. hosted the annual Peddlers Fair. The street was blocked to traffic and filled with people and vendors selling antiques, coins, dolls, old records, fruits and vegetables and anything else that might turn a small profit. Not quite in the mood photographically, I went down anyway and soon changed my mind. There [...]

Here are a couple of images from my third foray into the beautiful Desolation Wilderness with photo buddy Gino Creglia. This time we took our now familiar route from Echo Lakes, but went past Lake of the Woods to Ropi Lake. This extension of our last trip to this part of Desolation dropped us down [...]

At 6:30 am last Saturday I found myself in the parking lot of the Effie Yeaw Nature Center. A new photo group I’ve met with, the 4th Tuesday photography group, were going on an early morning photo shoot at the center. We got there in advance of the sunrise and made our way along wooded [...]

My friend Mike Wantz has a pass to get into the Crocker Art Museum to shoot their Third Thursday Jazz shows that are put on in the museum patio. Mike shoots these and other events for the museum for their use and gets stuff published in their brochures. I tagged along and got in free [...]

Last Saturday wedding and fine art shooter Gino Creglia and I decided we couldn’t resist the call of the wild any longer. Failing to take advantage of this awesome high Sierra wilderness area in our own backyard was no longer an option. With minimal gear but lots of enthusiasm we packed water, munchies, and a [...]

The other day a photo friend, Mike W., and I went to downtown Sacramento looking for pictures. The Downtown Sacramento Partnership is putting out a 2010 calendar and has solicited photographers to submit photos of the downtown area, along with interesting shots of shops, events, and generally anything that would serve to show that the [...]
Lake Natoma photos

Today I’m posting a couple of photographs taken at Lake Natoma, Folsom, CA. This area is walking distance from where I live and is a great source of inspiration. It runs through nearby residential and commercial areas, but is removed enough to give the feeling of a more remote area. With a little effort it’s [...]

Coloma, CA. is a picturesque Gold Rush era town about a 30 min. drive from where I live. It’s now a state park and is a great place to wander around. Old buildings have been preserved along with gold mining equipment and a reconstruction of the sawmill near where gold was discovered in 1848. All [...]
