Welcome

I'd like to welcome you to my Photography web site. Not to long ago I was fortunate enough to re-discover a love of the still image that has progressed over the years into something truly spectacular. I started the old fashioned way shooting 35mm film with a Leica R5 but the cost of the film and processing was so prohibitive that eventually I put the camera up on the shelf. When I saw the Olympus C-3040, it re-awoke the old shutterbug in me and I once again found a way to enjoy taking pictures of my surroundings. From the gorgeous sunsets that illuminated the skies above Orange County to the Fire Engines that would scream past my home on their way to save lives, there has always something to capture.

I originally created this webpage because Yahoo and other sites had a 30mb limit that ended up being to small to showcase my favorite pictures. I felt that the only solution would be to create this page and allow people to navigate to their favorite areas to see what is new. I am always tinkering with the layout and have tried to group the pictures by their different themes.

So explore and enjoy, and as always, any and all feedback is truly welcome.

Hey everyone, I had a chance to add 112 photos of ORC-T43 performing a Cut and Rescue demo from the Tustin PD Open House event back in June. I've added it to the end of the set so everyone can find it easily and browse through and the pics cover everything from the initial pulling of the safety/protection lines to cutting the car up and packing the hose and gear away at the end. The photos begin on page 24 if looking at the detail view. Enjoy!

On the 19th, two very amazing people did a very amazing thing. Jon Turner and Kastle Lund gathered together some of the greatest people on this earth to witness a wedding like few others, in a place that is like no other, and I was lucky enough to be there and capture it for all to see.

Jon, Kastle... “May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

I wish you both the best now and forever, and I hope that on your 50th anniversary, you will both look back at these pictures with fond memories and great smiles on your faces. I've uploaded 98 photos to the Jon & Kastle wedding set:
