After a day that had me reflecting on the many things I have to be grateful for, I decided to journey down to tourist central in Santa Monica, the pier. Sometimes it’s a bit too crowded for my taste, but today I was really enjoying the diversity, the energy, the participants and spectators and just… Read More
I picked up my older son from his high school performance practice and headed down to the pier. Now that Colorado Blvd. is open with the opening of the train, it’s easier to get a straight on shot. However, I was in my car with a brief red light, so I quickly cranked my ISO… Read More
I’m starting to dive into the wonderful world of Photoshop. I was convinced that I would only use SOOC as I didn’t believe “processing” was part of the art. Then I started learning that the camera’s dynamic range is limited when comparing to that of the human eye, which adjusts based on contrast and for… Read More
Ok – so today IS day 112, but as I mentioned in day 111, I fell asleep at around 8PM putting my 2 year old to bed, so I didn’t get an image out. As I mentioned, it was a GORGEOUS night!
Last night I laid down with my little one to put him to bed. Well, daddy was out first at 8pm, so I didn’t get to take my picture. I made it 110 STRAIGHT days of 1x picture per day! So today, I will post two. I went down to the Santa Monica pier which… Read More
Yesterday was a long day – a loved one went under the knife and at the end of the day, I drove down to Palisade Park to process. It’s one of my favorite places to unwind – the bluff above PCH. It was a chilly day (by Southern California standards; 62 degrees) and windy. The… Read More
Unfortunately, I can’t upload the video, but I headed down to the pier on this beautiful January night. I couldn’t resist, especially considering a friend of mine sent me a picture of a view from his house on the east coast showing ‘snowmageddon’. I’ve done one time lapse photo, but it was a by product… Read More
Back to the pier! I love Santa Monica and my wife and I decided to take our little guy down to the pier to ride the ferris wheel and roller coaster. What a great evening! I used to come ride when I was a little kid so it always gives me a bit of nostalgia… Read More
Today was a great day. Work was very busy, I’m grateful for employment and for the flexibility I have in my schedule to spend time with my kids. Today, I worked from home and my 2 year crawled all over me, laughing, giggling, and climbing. Around nap time for him, I headed out to pick… Read More
I love the rain, and the anticipation of a week’s long storm is exciting to me. So I thought I’d down to the pier to see the clouds come in. The beach was packed with tourists and locals. I particularly enjoyed the old Muscle Beach area where several slack lines were set up. The balance… Read More
