The Roman Pool at The Hearst Castle

The Roman Pool at The Hearst Castle.

I lived in the West Coast for 20 years and had never made it to the Hearst Castle until now. I was driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco on HWY 1 and had to make a stop at the castle. This place is crazy, from the moment I saw it from the HWY to the moment I walked out my jaw was on the ground. At the top of my favorites, the Roman Pool.

Modeled after ancient Roman baths, this meticulously detailed, majestic pool is tiled from ceiling to floor, and features eight statues of Roman gods, goddesses and heroes.”

I edited this with one of my HDR Presets.

Photos from an airplane

Here is a fun post. Photos from an airplane. Do you remember being a kid and riding in a plane for the first time? I sure do and I loved looking out the window, fact of the matter is I still do. Here is a small sample of photos I took from some of my travels. I have hundreds and hundreds of this photos, I always take my camera and take photos from my window. I know I am not the only one that does this because I always look around and there is always people doing the same thing. I love how the small things in life put a smile on peoples faces.

Google Glass Photowalk

Good day peeps, last week I was in San Francisco and I got to go to this awesome Google Glass Photowalk. The #TreyHawkWalk with Trey Ratcliff and Thomas Hawk, there was over 400 people and it was kind of nuts but lots of fun. If you want to see more photos from the event go HERE.

Happy humpday peeps, spread the love…

The back of the Hollywood Sign

The back of the Hollywood Sign. I have photographed the Hollywood sign dozens of times, but never like this. I have always wanted to go to it and see what its like to see the city how it sees it. I have always heard stories about the motion sensors, and the cameras, and the people getting arrested for going up there. This time I was determined to go to it regardless of the consequences. It turnes out its super ez to get to it, hundreds of people do it everyday. There is a paved road that takes you to this very spot. There is security to make sure you don’t do anything stupid but it is not the mission I thought it was going to be. This photos are by far my favorites of the Hollywood Sign. I will be back sometime this summer to shoot it some more, perhaps from a helicopter this time…

Check out my Main Site, it just got a face lift. I will also be uploading new galleries to it so make sure you come back soon. Have a great weekend everyone…Spread the love…

Star Gazing at Glacier Pointe, Yosemite California

Star Gazing at Glacier Pointe, Yosemite California;
Have you ever been to Yosemite California? Have you ever been to Glacier Point in Yosemite California? Have you ever laid down and watched the stars all night eating sour worms drinking redbulls and thinking how amazing life is at Glacier Point in Yosemite California? Have you ever done this until the sun comes up? I am lucky enough to say that I have, I was mesmerized by the stars and the valley, in the distance I could see flashlights climbing up the half dome. I have to say for me this is was one of those life changing moments. This is why we must enjoy every second we have here and go sleep with the stars.

This was shot around 3am, the moon was still out and I was lost in space. This felt more like home than any home I have ever had. I was laying in a sleeping bag with 3 cameras set up, one shooting video and the other 2 shooting timelapse. I love Yosemite its just amazing. Started at sunset with hundreds of people watching the sunset and it ended up with us watching the sunrise with big fat grins on our faces, shortly after hikers stared arriving and all I could do was smile…
