I am a photographic artist, student of Ansel, in Northern Ca. I like the natural world and do a lot of rocks, landforms and trees… I am into public art and creating and facilitating street level art outreach programs.

Bitterwater Super Bloom
I like driving down California route 25, the airline highway. Lots of hills and when you are lucky some super blooms.
I think we will be lucky this year…

Oak ravine
Nice place, I come here every green season. Little creek and hawks cruising for burgers…

I found a good use for AI…
I used it to write shell scripts to make Image Magik to do my rote image processing.
In this case convert a full res tif into a 2350px jpg.
I used Claude and it has helped my workflow greatly, now I actually have an organized collection of jpg’s on my phone :)

That stuff is made to hurt!
Thanks! DV is a great place for night skies!!!

This is a 48” version of that image. I drove for 4+ hours to get to the lost coast and arrived in a rainstorm. I had a really excellent rain coat, hat, plastic bags and compressed air so I was able to function, it was great! I stayed out in the rain for over an hour and got some good shots.

Big Sur…
A magical place where the water struggles against the rock and the bright colored succulents run wild.
Water always wins but it’s a long game.

Little Yosemite Sycamore…
This is at the foot of one of the few functioning waterfalls in the east bay.
Nicely isolated, these trees are usually dense in our watercourses…
