A few weeks ago, I drove my son to the airport in San Francisco and a week later returned to pick him up. On both occasions, I took my camera along for some street photography with the goal of experimenting with composition and having fun. I once again edited these in a retro-style, but this time making them brighter. I’d love to know what you think and if you have a favorite photo.

“When to the sessions of sweet silent thought / I summon up remembrance of things past…“—Shakespeare
I’ve been thinking a lot about memory lately. About my memories. About creating new memories. About capturing them. I think memory is what attracts me to photography, the ability to freeze a moment in time. To capture a feeling. I have so many photos from the last few months, many of which I won’t post here. But these…I want to share with you.

Last week I revisited the Tomales Catholic Cemetery after spending the week with my family at the beach. Here are some of my favorite images from my brief time wandering the small area with my camera. I’m experimenting again with a more vintage, film-like editing style. Let me know what you think and if you have a favorite images.

Last week I escaped to my favorite place at Dillon Beach with a few good friends. The weather was warmer than usual and the tide extremely high. However, on the very last morning, a bit after sunrise, the fog rolled in, the tide rolled out, and I took these photos of my dear friend and July model, Heidi.

clouds grow limbs
horizons are eyes
hands lanterns

I’ve borrowed a few cameras that I’m playing with on vacation. I’m experimenting with lenses and systems much different than my own. My biggest take away—I can use any camera. I think that was good for me to learn. While the colors of the Sony Alpha 7 IV where beautiful, I was really blown away by the feel of the Leica Q2. Dude, that camera feels GOOD in your hand.

I’ve been doing a lot of portrait photography lately, and neglecting my nature shots. I tried to remedy that by capturing the moon a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t find it before it got super dark outside. Here’s my best attempt, including two shots I took while doing an adorable family shoot at the river.

“She did not succumb to the battering of the brutal elements in her life. No, instead, with nourishment and strength from those surrounding her, and from her own deep, strong roots, she continued to grow; not just grow but thrive! So much so that she did not buckle under the weight that was not her own.”—Claudia
For the month of June, my model was my lovely friend Claudia. We met during sunrise, to avoid the heat, and our time together was magical. We wandered the same wooded area I had taken photos in last month, but it looked different, more golden and less dark green. I focused my camera on capturing her lovely energy, smile, and how she connects to nature.

My daughter is a huge fan of The Last of Us video game. You may have seen my photos a few years ago of us in Seattle as she cosplayed Ellie at some of the famous locations.
What I haven’t shared is these photos we took in our backyard about two years ago of her and her dad. He’s not one to cosplay, but she talked him into it. It seems like Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to share these.
