I created this image in 2002. Every time I look it at, I still enjoy it. It was created in Vancouver, British Columbia at VanDusen Botanical Garden.
I created this image 20 years ago. It was one of my early photography successes. On this trip to San Diego, I tried out a couple of new things photography wise, including slide film. My images from that trip turned out great which was probably at least partially beginners luck. Creating some images I was really happy with was a gateway drug and 20 years later I’m still photographing.
La Jolla is my favorite urban sea scape. It’s just gorgeous. There are places that are more famous, like the French Rivera, but in my book, La Jolla beats them all.

I have mixed reactions to Mid-Century Modern Architecture. Some of it I can appreciate and some it I just find blah. The Palm Springs City Hall is one of the examples of the style that I like. That circle cut-out in the roof with trees growing through is quite something.

Two months back, I visited Mandu, the capital of the 13th century Malwa Sultanate in what is today the state of Madhya Pradesh in India. It seems like a lifetime ago, before COVID-19 had shutdown anything outside China. Now, I’m wondering when any of us will be able to travel again.

Looking at these images, I’m reminded of how beautiful of a place Colorado is. In the midst of this Coronavirus lockdown, I’m longing to be able to experience nature again rather than being confined to my suburb. Going through pictures from old trips is simultaneously satisfying and exacerbating my longing to expirence the natural world. Hopefully, things will be normal enough this fall that I can travel to see fall colors.

Maroon Bells is an incredibly beautiful location. It’s one of handful a places that I’ve decided to visit because I saw a stunning of picture of the place. After seeing Maroon Bells, I toured around Western Colorado which has fantastic scenery.
