Santa Cruz Black and White

Spent some time in Santa Cruz today. While there I set my camera to monochrome and got some great shots. Here are a few of the shots. I have a few more that I will post later. Hope that you enjoy!

Pacific Sunset

A beautiful Pacific Coast Sunset to share with all of you. Enjoy!

Blue Whale (Farallon Islands)

This shot comes from a boat trip from earlier this year to the Farallon Islands. It has taken sometime to post pictures from this adventure. This amazing blue whale (which we found out is very rare to see) came along side the boat early in the trip and gave us all a show.

Farallon Islands are an amazing piece of land that lives 26 miles off the shore of San Francisco (Click on this link to learn more Farallon Islands). When on land 26 miles does not seam like much, but when you are on the open ocean and you do not see land in any direction while on a 30 person boat it is another story. All I can say is bring some dramamine, and to quote the captain "Look at the Horizon."

Riding the Rail

Been working on this shot for a couple of days. Took the time today to finish it up and get it posted. I have posted a few shots like this in the past from the same skate park and one of a surfer jumping off a cliff. I love working with Action photos and pulling them all into on picture.

Venice Singer

Last week when in LA I was walking around Venice and came across the singer below. He had a sound like Bob Dylan which gave him the biggest crowd on the boardwalk. This is a much cropped and much played with photo of him but after hearing him sing it suits his sound perfectly.

SF Trolley

Last Friday I spent sometime walking around San Francisco. By time I mean 15 miles of walking. This shot is of the F line trolley that runs along the embarcadero and down Market Street.

17 Mile Drive

This shot comes from the 17 Mile drive area around Pebble Beach. The Grammatical Fairy and I visited here a little while back. As you can tell from the photo it was such a beautiful day. Can't wait to go back!
