What can I say … it’s a classic. Though it would be considered a gas hog in today’s standards of fuel efficiency, there’s something to be said for the precision, pride and lack of “planned obsolescence” in which cars from this era were made.

Have you ever seen a baby Katydid? As a mature insect, their beautiful green color and shape is interesting and appealing, but as a nymph, they are downright fascinating. Their color scheme and pattern is striking and unique. I didn’t know what I was photographing when my macro lens caught this wildly colored itsy bitsy creature […]

By Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better […]
Last week my son and I drove my daughter back to Los Angeles for another year of school at USC. Mid-way in our drive we went through a most surreal area near Palm Springs which is home to a sea of wind turbines. I’ve driven past this area numerous times, but I never get bored with […]

Beyond the glare of the city lights and traffic, this is a most peaceful place where stars shine brightly. […]

This little spider is a Green Lynx (Peucetia viridans). I found him crawling around on a plant by a stream in the Santa Rita Mountains of southern Arizona. That I saw him at all is remarkable since, besides the fact that his color blends so perfectly with the plant, he is only 1/4 to 1/2 inch big! […]
Here’s one of the shots from a job I had yesterday photographing a local 1980’s cover band called The Mockingbirds for their publicity use. A good time was had by all – even me, though it was all I could do to drag myself out of bed and down to the studio. I’ve been fighting […]
