Slack-Lining at Its Finest.

Shot at 18mm, ISO 200, 1/1000sec. @ f/6.3

Carpinteria State Beach. We spent many summer mornings balancing on these slack-lines. One must reach a mental state somewhat similar to nirvana to become skillful at this activity. A distraction-free climate like the beach -with waves gently caressing the seashore - cultivates the concentration one needs in order to master the art of slack-lining.

Starry Night

To create this shot, I opened the moon-roof of my Lexus, and placed my tripod-mounted Canon 7D on the roof. Then I fired off an exposure of 1209 seconds. By-passing cars provided the fill-light for the foliage in the photo.

Skies of Wine

Midnight Solitude

The midnight sky shyly reveals stars of subtly beneath its deep blue canvas. 

Endless Lights

The Bay Bridge; Shot at ISO 400, f/7.1, and exposed for 10 secs.

Although I am a strong supporter of the idea that people are what truly defines a city, I feel that architecture and the infrastructure of the city should still be considered. During my recent trip up to the Bay Area, I focused on taking photographs of people; this is one of the few shots that is void of humans.
