For the Love of Polaroid

Arches, Utah

I've heard that the balanced boulder recently fell off.

Enchanted Rock

A sort of miniature Ayers Rock, this big rock is just a pimple on the larger formation it sits on, jutting out of the middle of flatland Texas.

Briones 1

There is a park in Contra Costa county squeezed in between the suburbs and mega mansions from Berkeley to Martinez, California. From December through May, the hills are a brilliant green filled with salamanders, red fox, deer and hawks. I spent a few hours crawling around in the mud with my camera in Briones Regional Park.

Embudo In Winter 2001

High Way

I really can't remember where this is... Colorado, Utah, Nevada. Somewhere western and desolate.

Idaho Plains

Somewhere outside of Boise.

Kitties!

yes, I have succumbed to kitty photography from time to time.

Under the Giant Redwoods

A friend stands under the split and burnt (but still quite alive) trunk of a Giant Redwood somewhere in California.

A bubbling, steaming place in northern California.

Mono Lake AM

the land of tufa....

Ol Frisco

Downtown in November. I worked a block away from this spot. The building in front is where Francis Ford Coppola keeps an office. His restaurant is on the bottom floor. We'd see him out there from time to time sipping at his wine....

Oregon Coast 1

Another road trip to Portland...

Oregon Coast 2

Oregon Coast 3

Oregon Plains

Somewhere near Baker City.

Sierra

My niece at her birthday party in Austin.

Light and Shade

I don't remember this child's name (the daughter of a friend of a friend), but she stayed here one night. Slept in her ballerina costume and always looked like she had heavy thoughts on her mind.

Spirits in the Orchard

Chemical disturbances is an obvious answer. But is it the correct one?

Stevie

One more kitty photo.

The Road

somewhere in Colorado

Utah Highway

One of the most spectacular rest areas I've ever rested at...

Walnut Creek Garden

Walnut Creek used to be populated with farmers. Now it seems to be inhabited solely by shoppers, but when I lived there, there were signs of eccentricity. I hope they're still there.

Yosemite in Spring

Yosemite Frost

On a late summer road trip to Telluride from Walnut Creek, I once spent the night on the eastern edge of Yosemite. When I woke in the morning, autumn had announced it's arrival.
