I found a computer folder with some images off an old phone. I really like some of these shots, so I've edited them anew. This be one. I remember this well: I drove into this parking lot to hike down the trail to the beach and get some shots down there, and I parked my old truck directly in front of this scene, and the seagull did me the favor of staying still for me to photograph it. An hour later, when I returned to my truck, the seagull was STILL there.
That is Catalina in the background.
It was a strangely overcast morning this day. But the sun would occasionally peer through the cloud cover and make for some oddly eerie light.
I had a couple new wood prints and a couple new metal prints made recently, and I just added them to the commerce page on this site. All four have marked down introductory prices. Check it:
New digs for Commodity very soon.
I was playing around with some more images I captured Monday over by the marine stadium here in Long Beach. Here's a dark, moody one.
Here's another blue hour shot. This time from last night, at the Naples end of the Marine Stadium. There were some semi-interesting clouds hanging about late enough in the afternoon, so I decided to chase the sunset after missing what appeared to be a major burner the previous evening. I found this spot with the bridge, and it wasn't fantastic as the sky never really lit up, but it certainly wasn't a dud, either, like the last time I went chasing the sunset. It happens. You gotta take what Mother Nature gives you when you're doing this kind of thing.
I caught this during the blue hour in DTLB a while back.
I captured this libary in Cardiff-by-the-Sea just after dawn one morning back in January. The light was still in that kinda funky golden hour stage, so it made for some interesting colors in this composition.
I found this old capture of the PO building in DTLB. This place just keeps on giving. I have several excellent photos of this building, but I still think this one is the best. I caught the seagull at the exact right time to capture not only the bird flying through the frame, but I got its shadow on the building, AND its reflection in one of the windows. The clouds made for some nice interest and contrast, as well.
I happen to have a sweet metal print of this available for purchase directly from me, too.
A couple years ago I found myself in Big Sur at sunset. And this happened a little later.
