Nature Photography

Garden Waterfall
Nature photography connects you to the land that surrounds you, such as flowers, trees in the forest, rock formations, beaches, and waterfalls. Even though, I live in the desert, I still get the opportunities to connect with nature, such as a waterfall.

Inspiring Landscapes

What types of landscapes inspiring you? Is it the red rocks of Sedona or is it the sunset beaches in San Diego? As you can see under the Landscape tab, I enjoy photographing both. When I want to get out of the city, I go north to the red rock mountains of Sedona to do some, hiking, jeeping, and taking some photos of those red rock mountains. When I want to get out of the desert and cool down, I head for the beaches of San Diego to capture the sunsets reflexing off the ocean waters.

Projects - Touch of Color

Last Year 2011 - Latest year, I worked on a project called the Touch of Color. This was a post digital process where I took a photograph of a flower then saturated the photograph to black and white background leaving just the flower in color. You will find more information about the Touch of Color under the Project tab.

Macro Photograghy - Botanicals


Bee-N-Daisy
Mission Bay, CA - Macro photography is fun when photographing flowers. One of my first macro assignments was to photograph a flower, so I picked this purple daisy because I like the color purple. When I got up close to take the shot, I notice there was a bee in the flower. After that day I fell in love photographing flowers and macro photography.  I had to go out and buy a macro lens, so the insects and flowers were more detailed for my future photographs.

Inspiring Wildlife - Children's Pool

Play Time on the Beach
La Jolla, CA - Wildlife photography really inspires me because the animals are in their natural habitats. When I get the chance to travel to California, I like to stop by the "Children's Pool" to see the baby seals in their natural habitat. Here is a picture of a mother seal with her baby. More seal photos under the Wildlife tab.

Digital vs Film Photography

I love photography, ever since I was a child. Now with digital technology I love it even more, because I can learn from my mistakes faster and share my photos with friends and family. What are your thoughts, digital or film and why?

Learning About Blogging

Today was the day that I was learning more about how to blog. It is quite fun once you get the hang of it. Find who you want to follow or getting traffic to your site is a whole other story.
