This is a detail shot of the western edge of the McEvoy Olive ranch in West Marin, about ten minutes from our house. This set includes some very wide panoramas, thanks to Photoshop CS3's amazing photomerge and blending automation. View the rest of this gallery here and check out these panoramas: here, here, here, and here.

Once a year, Northern California is rewarded with a month of green rolling hills and warm days.

This set celebrates the views from Sonoma Mountain on the East Side of Petaluma. View the rest of the gallery here.

In this set, I was looking for patterns, texture and framing at dusk. For all the budding photographers out there, I would recommend Bryan Peterson's Books, Learning to See Creatively and Beyond Portraiture. Both are short reads with great example photos.
