Sunny San Diego

I visited a few friends in Southern California and ended up on the most beautiful beach(in my opinion) in San Diego.. and maybe on the west coast. I regret not having my SLR with me, but I got a few pictures and tried to spice them up a bit. The image with the diagonal black border looks as it does because my lens got something spilled on it at a party, I tried to clean it, and it has forever not opened correctly. I tend to start taking pictures before I realize that it is stuck half open. I think of this picture in particular as possibly the view of a sun bathing mother looking out at her kids. The other two pictures are just surfers... nice...

Napa Railroad

For Valentine's day my dad took his two Valentine's (my mother and I) wine tasting in Napa. I snapped these out the car window.

Runner's World

I just submitted some images to runner's world magazine. They usually don't take pictures but I thought I would try anyway. My flickr account says that the one with the male pointing is the most visually interesting out of all my photos on there. I honestly do not get why? I like some of my other pictures way better... oh yeah... I have a flickr account now. Most of the pics are already on this blog but some are different so feel free to check it out.

Faith touches down...

This was taken off the coast of Croatia on top of this random cliff. If I were religious I would get this framed. I think I will just look at it as being more 'spiritual'.

Delta Field trip

Today I went on a field trip with my mom's 5th grade class... I now know for a FACT that I will never be a teacher. It is hectic and as cute as some kids are, 30+ of them at once is a bit much. On the trip I learned about delta's fish, mud, the watershed itself, and plankton. Science is so COOL!!! Here are some pics I took throughout the day.

Lake Trips

I miss summer days at the lake. Here are some pictures taken on the water last summer. Warning: Some images may be a little hot and heavy.

Making up for lost time

Wow.. a whole 2 months with out posting. I am disappointed in myself so I'm just going to put a bunch of random pictures up. Some are new some are old, some are edited, some are raw, some make me laugh, some make me cry. I'd like to think the images as a group help illustrate my range as a photographer. I tried to include landscape, portrait, photojournalism, product,fashion, still life, pets, travel, etc. Comment if you have questions or suggestions. Enjoy!

Color in Clothes Lines

In the land of no dryers people must hang their clothes to dry. It makes for a nice picture... or maybe a sum of nice pictures. These were taken during my travels to Venice, Italy and Hvar & Split, Croatia.
