There is a "nature" park in Signal Hill where this old oil line valve remains. I don't even know if it is still operating. But what an amazing spot.

Big Sur Print
Today I sold this wood print of an image I shot in Big Sur. I got it printed at Woodsnap in Irvine. It turned out great (sorry for the lack of sharpness in this quickie pic--didn't have time to set up a good shot). The wood grain added some real texture to this one, making it certainly a one of a kind piece. I love doing stuff like this. Hit me up.
Thanks again, Larry!
Not much time left...
...to grab a print direct from me at the special markdown price.

Galaxy Alley
This is an older shot I just found. I'm standing in the alley behind The Galaxy Tower, closeby where I live here in Long Beach. I remember shooting this around golden hour, and I'm on the backside of the building, but the light was just right to capture the mood, catch a wee bit of shadow, and get a reflection. I've been doing quite a lot lately with deep, very saturated blue skies, and a load of contrast, but I really dig this one.
2+1 Lookup
So, here's an image I captured during one of my recent morning explorations of downtown Long Beach. I am digging the way the stoplight pole is grouped with the two palm trees set against the whispy clouds in the blue sky.
Prints available direct -- special
I have listed some prints at a "sale" price that is good through this month, March 2018.
If you're in the L.A. area, I can be dealt with in person, rather than through the site, if you wish.

Rare Clouds in LB
I went out around midday yesterday, and I took my camera with me--just in case. And there was nothing interesting. But just before I hopped into my little Kia to head back home, I stood in the middle of the street to capture this scene. I like the vanishing point perspective, and we've been experiencing some "winter" weather here in SoCal, so there have been some interesting cloud formations around the past few days. This turned out to be one of those times. I am really digging how this piece turned out. Hope you do, too.
SOLD!
I just sold this 2x3' piece printed on wood that I shot of the Seal Beach pier.
Thanks, Lawrence!
Hit me up if you're interested in any shots.

(This is just a quickie shot of it, with the light kinda glaring off the bottom right corner.)
Step Up
Up to Bluff Park from the beach in LB.
Posing at the Pier
This seagull maintained an absolutely static pose for me on the San Clemente pier.
