Dawn of Another Day
Description: Captured at sunrise over Haleakala in Maui, this photograph is a bit different than my usual style. For this image, I put my camera on manual focus, and purposefully set everything out of focus. My intention was to make the image feel as if the viewer were just waking up and opening their eyes on […]
Machu Picchu – Plate I
Description: I FINALLY made it to my Machu Picchu pictures! It took me two years, but hey, I did it! In order to make it up to this magnificent view by sunrise, I woke up at 4am, along with two fellow travelers. We were out the door at 4:30am and RAN up the steep steps […]
The Solo Journey
Description: Sometimes, the journey is best taken alone. Location: Lares Trek, Peruvian Andean Mountains, Peru Date Taken: July 23, 2007 Camera: Canon 20D Exposure: 1/100 second Aperture: f/16 Focal Length: 28 mm ISO: 100
Little Darling
Description: This photograph was captured while on the Lares Trek during my trip to Peru in 2007. The Lares Trek is an alternative to doing the Inca Trail, though, this trek does not lead to Machu Picchu. The Lares Trek is an amazing 3 day hike through the beautiful Peruvian Andean mountains. I came across […]
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
The year is almost up and I’ve started to go through all of my pictures to create my “Best of 2009” set on Flickr. At the beginning of this year, I posted what I thought were my best photos from 2008. It really gave me a sense of what I had captured throughout the year. […]
Windows of Ponte Vecchio
Description: Can you tell I’ve been going through pictures from my trip to Italy? I realized the other day that I still had several unprocessed photographs from my trip to Spain and Italy last year and even some from a trip to Bolivia and Peru 2 years ago! So, I’ve tried to buckle down recently […]
Spiraling Down
Description: If you look closely, you might notice that this spiral staircase is actually a double helix consisting of two intertwined spirals; one for those entering the museum and one for those exiting. Interestingly, this staircase was designed by Giuseppe Momo in 1932, approximately 20 years before the DNA double helix shape was determined the representation of […]
The Dance
Description: At the end of last year, almost one year ago, I took a trip to Europe. While I was in Spain, I made sure I attended a Flamenco show. This image was created at Jardines de Zoraya in Granada, Spain. Though not a very big show (only one dancer, one guitarist, and a singer), […]
Bamboo Rising
Description: I finally got around to processing my pictures from a recent trip to Maui. This particular photo was captured within a bamboo forest on a 2 mile hike through the 7 sacred pools off the road to Hana. After hiking through this amazing, peaceful bamboo forest, we arrived at the final sacred pool. As […]
The Seat of Time
Description: It’s been awhile again, and I do apologize. I really don’t have a good excuse right now other than being a bit lazy. I have been busy, but in general, I have been trying to manage my priorities a bit better. To try and kick start myself into posting again, I picked another random […]
Ring of Trust
Description: Taken during one of the first engagement sessions I did and is still one of my favorite engagement session shots. The couple and I started out at Wilhelmina Garden, located in Golden Gate Park, to warm up and shortly after moved to Sutro Baths to capture this photo and a few of them with […]
