I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Goat's Eye View

Went to a goat farm this weekend, and this one was eying me. I think it wanted a nibble at my camera strap.

California Coast


I was lucky enough to go for a drive along the coast today, this picture was one of the happy results.

Street Corner

I'm not sure what it is about this image, it doesn't fit my usual criteria of something I'd post, but something about it just speaks to me. So I thought I'd share it with you and see if it affects you similarly.

Number 43

I stepped outside tonight and took some pan shots of the traffic. I was pleased with the way this one turned out.

Monochrome . . . Thursday?

Can't even seem to follow my own rules properly, NOT to mention the rules of others (and let's please not mention those), but I have finally found an image I like in monochrome, though it may no longer be Monday. I took this at one of the piers here in San Francisco, on a rainy day when it would have been much wiser to stay indoors instead.

It tickled me to see these gulls staring off into the distance together. Their necks are so much more mobile than ours are, it's really incredible. 

Light

Light. As photographers, we search for it. We look at it, we study it, we analyze it, break it down. Attempt to control it.

Without light, there would be no photography. Not much of anything really (no life, no trees, no parks, no brownies or late afternoons or warm cups of tea). So, I'm grateful. Thanks, light!
