One of my favorite spots in one of my favorite cities…

A couple of shots of that most famous of signs out West…

Blue hour at the Ferry Building in San Francisco…

Inside the Ferry Building in lovely San Francisco…

An incredible sunset on the beach in Carmel, CA - I was quite happy that evening!

Here is a handful of images from a trip I took to LA last year…just some random snaps from random spots…

A stunning sunset in Carmel, CA - an incredibly quaint and beautiful spot in northern CA!

A lovely sunset along the coast in La Jolla, CA...

Some cool graffiti I found along Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles...

Sunset at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles...

I spent most of the last week in LA on a fun trip with my daughter.  We laughed, toured, ate and photographed quite a bit of the City of Angels.  It was fabulous.  Here are some iPhone shots to prove it.  ;-)

I love graffiti - it's often interesting, beautiful and well-crafted!  In today's post, I share some of the wonderful urban art I found in San Francisco - check it out!

I return again to San Francisco in today's post - a gorgeous sunset at a gorgeous location, the Palace of Fine Arts.  Oh, and I walked nearly 18 miles that day.  Whew!  Read on and enjoy the pics my friends!  

Ah, San Francisco - full of beauty and interestingness and some weirdness, too.  Yep, the City by the Bay has a few spots that are a little different, and today I transport you to one of them.  This is Haight Ashbury, which was at the center of the hippie counter-culture revolution way back in the 1960's.  A lot has changed since then, but you can still feel the vibe in this most interesting district in San Francisco.  Enjoy!

I recently drove up a large part of Highway 1 in California, making stops in some of the iconic, wonderful, and always photogenic spots along the way.  I started in San Simeon and made it through Big Sur and Carmel, ending in the Fort Bragg and Mendocino area.  Here are 25 photos that illustrate the beauty I witnessed!

I'm a big fan of the city of San Francisco, and always enjoy my visits to the City by the Bay.  I also love the Ferry Building there, and that's the main subject of today's post.  I caught a wonderful blue hour there one morning on my last visit, as well as some other cool shots from a sunset or two.  Take a look at this collection of 12 pics and enjoy!

I love San Francisco - it's really a beautiful city.  I spent a week there recently, and was lucky enough to get out a few times with the camera (and the prime lens) and fire away.  Here are 26 photos that give you a good idea of what I was looking at - and shooting at, of course.  Enjoy the tour!

San Francisco is a lovely city, and a great one for photography.  Today's post is a little tour of a few spots that I have photographed there on my travels.  A little bit of this and that, if you will.  Take a look and enjoy the tour!

Do you ever go back and re-process photos that you have previously shared? I do that sometimes, and find that it's a great creative exercise.  But recently, I HAD to go back and re-create an old photo for a client, and it took me forever to make it look like how it looked when I first processed it, about 5 years ago.  And so I learned a lot in the process - and I am sharing those learnings and my observations in today's post.  Have a look!

Grace Cathedral in San Francisco is just incredible.  Today's photo essay is a collection of 10 photos and 1 painting that summarize my visit there...and a little story about luck, perseverance, and why you should always tell the truth.  Be sure to add this place to your list if you are planning a trip to San Fran!
