Taking a Stand and Being Different

I am always amazed walking through the Mission in San Francisco or Meat Packing District in New York and seeing Stencil graffiti work on buildings. The ability to take in some ways simple cutout drawings and deliver such a message through simplicity amazes me. This morning I tried my hand at drawing two clip art style business men in photoshop to try and mimic that same impact through simplicity. Hope you enjoy!

Morning Coffee Reflection

This shot was taken this morning after pouring my morning cup-o-joe. The reflection in each of the bubbles is great!

Tree Bark

Was going through my photos and came across this picture. Thought it was nice and wanted to share.

Hang Gliding

You come across people participating in some pretty amazing sports when adventuring around NorCal. Here is a shot of a hang glider along the coast up near San Francisco. It was amazing to see them jump off a cliff and just glide along the coast with no power but the wind, and then land safely where they started.

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."
