  • Pacific Coast near Monterey, California
    Foggy Coastline
  • The Pacific Coast near Santa Cruz with its dramatic bluffs, rugged rocks, and sea stacks provide fascinating subjects for photography. I made this image at dusk as the last light in the sky reflected over the rugged rocks and the wave swept shoreline.<br />
Pacific Dusk was made near Santa Cruz in California.
    Pacific Dusk
  • As a winter storm approached the coast, dramatic anvil clouds seemed to be forming in the distance. The dramatic coastal bluffs helped anchor the image. The scene was rendered in to B&W to lay emphasis on the dramatic cloud formation.
    Storm Clouds and Seaside Cliffs
  • One rarely associates Australia with temperate rainforests. However, just some distance inland from the coasts lie some remarkably, pristine lush forests.

  • Australia is a distant and fascinating place for photography as the landscapes are quite unlike any place else. In Tasmania’s remote eastern coastline, lichen paints the granite rocks with orange hues. However, once I got to the location, the entire area was covered in grey and gloomy clouds threatening to ruin the photographic opportunity. So when a gracious host offered me an evening cup of tea by his coastal home, I decided to take him up on his offer. However, much to my luck, the clouds started to part at precisely the same time as I started to sip my tea. Frantically, I had to excuse myself from my host and rush over to the beach to make this image. The dramatic light lasted just long enough to make this composition. Here, the pink hues of the sky seemed similar hues on the foreground.

  • I can endlessly watch waves lapping up against the shore. There is something therapeutic about the rhythmic sound they make that it seems to wash away all of one’s anxieties. While making this image, the waves appeared to wrap the rocks in a warm embrace. This image was made at a remote national park in Australia’s island state of Tasmania.

  • After the sun had set on another gorgeous day on Central California’s coastline, the beach was bathed in the pink afterglow. This helped to simplify the color palette into pastel hues.<br />
Pastel Dreams was made at Pismo Beach in Central California.
    Pastel Dreams
  • Amongst the many reasons I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area is the easy access to a number of beautiful beaches! When I arrived at the beach in Santa Cruz, I was pleasantly surprised to see some low hanging clouds. As the sun went down the horizon, the clouds were set ablaze by the last light turning the beach into a riot of pastel hues.

  • I distinctly remember my first trip down to the southern tip of Australia! It was smack in the middle of winter and the bitter cold winds blowing across the Southern Ocean seemed to be carrying the chill all the way from Antarctica !! My fingers turned numb that evening as I waited for the right light. While that experience still stays fresh in my memory, I was not particularly happy with the images I came home with! <br />
<br />
It was another 5 years before I was able to go back to this area and witness the fascinating spectacle of nature carving sea stacks from the rugged, yet brittle coastline! That day, the angular late afternoon light accentuated the shapes and textures of these sea stacks and the mist rising up the cliffs added depth and drama to the photograph!
    The Apostles
  • New Zealand is a fascinating place for landscape photography as there are innumerable areas to experience, explore and make photographs. However, many areas do have a 50/50 chance (or more) of rainfall. So that does make photography prone to the forces of nature. <br />
<br />
This image was made along the South Island’s eastern coastline just after the midday rain. Here, large boulders (that are almost other-worldly looking) lay scattered along a remote beach. I made this image well after the sun had gone down. The beach was painted with a soft pastel afterglow and it allowed me to present a contrasting element to the textured boulders.
    Moeraki Boulders
  • I lived in Texas for the first few years of my life in the USA. During this time, I frequented California’s  Yosemite National Park and Big Sur coast. I was so enamored by these grand landscapes that I decided to move to California - with Camera, Lenses and Tripod in tow! I wanted to have unfettered access to these landscapes to make my own imprints photographing them. <br />
The 3 day road trip from Texas to California came with a minor detour to New Mexico’s White Sands National Park. As with all things photography, this image came with abundant luck and perseverance. I was completely sleep deprived after driving all night to make it to the park. Further, grey looming clouds threatened to put a dampener on any chance of photography. However, just before the light turned blue, the clouds parted and illuminated the desert. This was to be the first of many instances persevering for the right light to make my photographs.
    Desert Spotlight
  • I still remember the morning I made this photograph - the crisp, early morning air along with the fog sent a tingle up my spine ! Early morning fog adds a delicate sense of aesthetics to a scene of tall coast redwoods. The juxtaposition of mature and young redwoods is to highlight the perennial cycle of growth.
