Mysterious, dark, quiet; a grove of trees in the coastal mountains of Big Sur, full of mist and morning light. I’d arrived at the campsite after dark, chasing the sunset down the winding curves of Highway 1 and setting-up camp as stars appeared overhead. During the night, fog gathered along cliffs and settled into valleys,Continue reading “Forest fog | Big Sur, California”

Perchance to Dream | San Francisco, California
Most of the photographs I collect when visiting Fort Point, San Francisco are of the architecture and magical spaces between shadow and light created by the repeating motifs and angles of the Fort itself.

This is one of those moments, and perfectly illustrates why, at all times I feel compelled to have a camera withContinue reading “A Very Patient Dog…”
