Making The Time For Photography
I was recently asked, "With all you do, how do you find the time to take photos?" It's not easy. Photography isn't my day job. I work full time. I have young kids. After school activities A busy life. But I have found ways to carve out time for photography.
Cherry Blossoms In Seoul
April is a great time to visit Asia. Whether it's China, Japan, or Korea, you're bound to be stricken by the cherry blossoms.
A Street In Macau
I don't remember much about Macau. Vaguely remember getting there. Barely remember the interior of a casino (the Grand Lisboa, I think). I do remember Senado Square.
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul is a place I've visited many times. No trip to Korea is complete without a walk through the palace grounds.
Buon Viaggio
Come this April, I'm heading back to Italy. It's been more than 10 years since I've been there. Rome, Venice, Florence. Museums and architecture. Quaint, winding streets and beautiful town squares. Great food! I simply can't wait.
Bird Rock At Low Tide

The Colors Of Japan
If I didn't live in San Diego, where would I move? I play this game a lot. There's little I miss about living in colder climates. I do miss the changing of the trees in autumn ... but I don't miss raking leaves!
Minimal Post Processing
I enjoy post-processing images. And digital photographers are blessed with a myriad of very powerful and relatively inexpensive tools to push and pull our images in an infinite number of directions. I often forget the best post-processing is sometimes a minimalist approach.
The Foggy Harbor
A foggy morning at the San Diego Harbor. "Bad" weather isn't always bad - at least when it comes to taking photos.
Learning From Throwaway Shots
I take a lot of photos. Most I never consider for my portfolio. Some are flat out throwaways. But the throwaway shots provide something ... a learning opportunity. On a couple of levels, actually. First, I look at throwaways for what's good or bad about the photo. Second, I use the throwaways as a post-processing sandbox.
