A windsurfer heads out into winter Pacific Ocean surf at sunset – near Davenport, California.

This is another in a series of photographs of windsurfers I made one afternoon/evening near the end of winter earlier this year.

Black and white photograph of Big Sur coastline with tree covered ridges descending to the shoreline and fading into the distance.

This is yet another in the series of photographs I made on a long drive up the Big Sur coastline during the summer of 2008. The landscape photographer goes into overload on this drive – there is just too much to shoot. This photograph is a stitch of a couple 12MP full frame DSLR images.

Three pelicans pass by near the shoreline at Pismo Beach, California.

I’m going to have to come with more creative titles… I have another photo from this past weekend of, you guessed it, “three pelicans in flight” – though the newer shot was made at Point Lobos.
