On my way up to San Francisco via Caltran I watched this guy at the station. He cruised right up to the edge of the platform, lit up a cig and sat down. He struck me as someone exploring his boundaries in all aspects of life, looking for the edge in everything.

This morning I spent a wonderful morning walking through Shoreline Park with my bride of 14 years. I say my bride specifically in this occasion because this is where we had our wedding reception.
I found many beautiful flowers to photograph, but none as lovely as my wonderful wife.

Here is another crop of the photo featured yesterday from Kattie’s eye series. I am always amazed at the detail that current dSLR cameras and quality lenses are able to capture. There really is something to be said for investing in quality glass. This 24-105 lens does a superb job in nearly [...]
My co-workers are generally good sports for standing in as models when I want to try out something. Katie let me take a variety of "eye" photos today, which I am going to process and post a few of them over the next few days. This processing is what came to mind when I starting [...]

Sadly I had to send my macro lens back for exchange today. After many tests I have determined it was out of calibration. I was getting some things in focus, but always a bit different focus than I was really intending.
This shot I share today is from last year with a 24-105, non-macro [...]

I know I tend to get a lot of shots with the spotlight isolating the artist, but to me these are some of the most interesting. Photography is all about capturing light, and the concert atmosphere, with the smoke flowing to be illuminated by the spotlight beam, is the perfect situation to see the shape [...]

Donny’s concerts are a bit more intimate with the audience than most. He’s not afraid to interact with the audience. With that interaction you open the doors to all kinds of possibilities, good and bad. Obviously someone said something that hit the funny bone here.

Full flowers are starting to show, but I still found these Hyacinth flower buds particularly interesting. I hope you do to

Honestly, I do have photos of Donny in other spotlight colors than blue :) I have been going back through some old archives and looking for some keepers. I guess the blue has been striking me lately.
This is during the performance of the song This Is The Moment in which Donny hits a very long, [...]
