About

I am horrible at writing these things...

I consider myself a specialist of the glorified snapshot. Nowhere near talented enough to be featured in the spotlight, or get more than a note or two, but eager enough to get around my unnaturally high level of shyness to share my snapshots with the world.

All photos on this blog are taken by me, using a variety of photographic tools, from high priced DSLR to Pin Hole cameras made from beer cans.

I have recently relocated to the Santa Cruz area, only deepening my insatiable love for the San Francisco area as I'm able to explore many new areas. When not shooting with a still camera, I can be found toting around a TV camera.

Some of my favourite photographers:
Robert Capa
Robert Doisneau
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Berenice Abbott

I always recommend that everyone do a night tour of Washington D.C., the monuments have a completely different feel.

Just over a century ago the very first pair of cherry blossom trees were planted near this spot on the tidal basin. This stone lantern (carved over 400 years ago to honor the 3rd Shogun of the Tokugawa and gifted to the US in 1954) is lit every year to celebrate the Cherry Blossom Festival. (This year’s lighting will be on April 7th)
