I took this photo many years ago but am still very fond of it. The texture of this section of Bristlecone pine just lent itself to printing too. The oldest tree on earth, it grows in the High Sierras.

Happy New Year 2022
For some reason this beautiful rose makes me think of dessert.
Stationary
I think the title says it all.
Bicycle
This photo has a charming touch of nostalgia to it. The black & white aspect gives it a bit of a Cartier Bresson impression. Taken one summer in the city of Kassel, Germany.
Baja Sky
I took this photo in San Felipe on a trip to Baja California. The seagull was invited to participate of course to compliment the color of the arches.
New Book
Walking Sunflowers
This is one of my favorite “decisive moments” photos – as Cartier Bresson liked to put it. I was focusing on the beautiful old trees, the symmetry and color of the traffic signs, and the funny white street markings, when she decided to walk across the street, making the image complete!
Current exhibit
One of my photos (Winter Spectrum) from my late fall 2020 online portfolio was selected for the Turtle Bay West Coast Biennial exhibit which runs from January 29 – April 11. I just received an e-mail this morning that the exhibit which was virtual only is now open for viewing in person too – with social distancing of course. The exhibit is located inside the Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Museum in Redding, CA. The Sundial Bridge next to the park which is an architectural marvel is worth a visit too.
Beethoven
I saw this chalk pastel drawing while walking in a city in Germany in 2012. This person has remarkable talent. I think Beethoven would approve, perhaps even applaud – although that may fall on deaf ears if you forgive the pun. I’m always saddened when people just walk by something like this completely ignoring such creativity. I suppose shopping is more important to them. I for one, thoroughly appreciated this street art.
Perpendicular view
I think the title says it all. This was a photo I took perhaps 20 some years ago around the Normandy region of France. It tends to make me chuckle.
