A photograph made on the beach in La Jolla, CA right near La Jolla Cove.

I love this photo I made while in traffic (don’t worry, the car was stopped) crossing the Bay Bridge from Oakland to San Francisco. My favorite element of this photograph is definitely the light pole at bottom right. It is framed within the cables and it adds somewhat to the viewer’s sense of scale. Details are so important in a photograph and it would have been so easy to just crop out the little light pole.
If you’re a pro photographer who follows and reads my blog, I totally encourage you to get out there and take photos that mean something personal to you. I’m a wedding photographer, but I’d be remiss is all that I shot were weddings. Shooting personal work makes you a better photographer. Enjoy.

We had a sweet room on the 28th floor of the Hyatt Grand Manchester in Downtown San Diego overlooking Coronado, the Bay on one side and Downtown San Diego, the Harbor and Point Loma. One night I walked down to the grocery store to by some breakfast snacks, Odwalla Superfood and some fresh fruit for the family and came home to everyone being asleep. The lights glowing in Downtown San Diego were fantastic, the skies were ever so dramatic and I knew I had to grab my camera and make a few photographs.
Here are a few that I really liked. The first one was shot with a fisheye lens and you can get a nice view of the downtown landscape and cloudy skies. The second one has a little tilt shift thrown in by one of my favorite new lenses. Trust me, none of the blur was done in Photoshop. All I do in post is color and sharpening (plus a little grain for a film photo look). I hope you enjoy.

I love to use my camera and make pictures, period. There isn’t much more I’d rather be doing than creating a visual document of something with the awesome tool called a camera. I’ve been privileged to travel this great state I live in and I’m on a mission to create photographs that document the beauty of the state in a different way. Will I ever publish a book? Maybe. How long will it take? Probably twenty years. What will make your photographs so much different than everyone else’s? They’re mine. Enjoy the awesome.

This was photographed while on vacation in La Jolla, CA. Such a beautiful gem on our Southern California coastline. A limited number of prints will be available of each photograph.
