Dawn at Taft Point

Picture: Moonset at dawn from Taft Point, with El Capitan in background, Yosemite National Park, California There's something incredibly joyful about having a place like this all to yourself. First of all, it's quiet. (Kind of like this blog over the last few weeks.) My friend and I drove to…

For one brief moment

Picture: "Balance this!" - Full moon setting over mountain ridge along the Sierra crest, near Tioga Pass, Eastern Sierra, California In photojournalism, the first thing you learn is "The Moment is Key." The meaning of this is simple. If you don't have an image that tells a story or reveals…

That was some big moon last night

Picture: Waning Gibus Moon over rock pinnacle on the rim of Yosemite Valley in pre-dawn light, Yosemite National Park, California Tuesday nights are "Pool Nite" (as in billiards) for me. It's my current form of therapy and stress relief, as well as one of the few other things I consider…
