See My Photos on Flickr! I've moved most of my photo operations to flickr.com. It offers a vastly streamlined upload process for me and lots of features for you, like photo searching and comments. I may post some stuff here from time to time, but I'd recommend you go there to see my latest photos.

Bolivia - Sucre I recently ventured down to Bolivia to visit my sister who is stationed there as part of the Peace Corps. I bookended my trip in the amazing city of Sucre, one of the 4 major cities of Bolivia. To preserve it's Spanish Colonial heritage, all new buildings must be whitewashed, creating a gleaming city that is quite unique.

Bolivia - Tomina The bulk of my trip was spent at my sister's work site in Tomina, a small town about 4 hours by bus from Sucre.

Bolivia - Chuquisaca Chuquisaca (choo - kee - sah - kah) is the province within which Sucre and Tomina lie. I'm using this gallery as a catch-all for the rest of the photos.

San Francisco Conservatory I'll be the first to admit that floral photography is pretty easy. Saturated colors plus a subject that doesn't move equals gorgeous shots without a ton of effort. Still... I just can't get enough!

Halloween Hike - Marin Headlands I had the burning desire to take my new Canon 20D out for a spin. Took a bus out to the Marin Headlands Recreation Area and hiked back into the city. Though, as it turned out, this was quite a lot farther than I had anticipated.

Halloween Hike - Golden Gate Bridge After hiking out of the headlands, I walked the 1.7 mile span of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Mt. Rainier National Park I went up to Seattle for a convention the last weekend in August. The convention turned out to not be as exciting as I thought it might be, so I skipped the second day and went hiking in Mt. Rainier National Park. Much better.

Summer in Minnesota - Sculptures & Botanicals I took a trip home to visit my parents recently. The pictures in this gallery are from the Walker Art Museum's sculpture garden and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

Summer in Minnesota - Down on the Farm I spent most of the trip helping my parents with various landscaping and home-improvement tasks on their 80-acre hobby farm near Chatfield, MN. About half of these pictures were taken in a heavy early-morning fog. I'll leave it to the viewer to determine which ones.

Summer in Minnesota - The View from 35,000ft I had a little battery power left in my camera during the flight home and decided to try taking some pictures out the window. Some of them turned out remarkably well, considering the state of the window. I've not bothered giving these all names, as there are only so many variations on "Clouds" one can produce before insanity sets in.

San Francisco AIDS Walk 2004 I decided to change things up a little on my 28th birthday and signed up to walk with some friends to benefit the cause of AIDS research. Our team raised a little over $2000 dollars.

Land's End There's a little rough-rock beach on the ocean side of San Francisco called Land's End. It offers great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands as well as numerous exciting opporunities to break your ankles.

The Grand Canyon My parents and I wanted to do something different over the Christmas break, so we decided to meet in Arizona and see the sights. First stop, a gigantic hole in the ground.

Madera Canyon Next stop was Medera Canyon in the Santa Rita Mountains, just south of Tuscon. It has 4-5 distinct micro-climates as you ascend the mountains, resulting in a wide variety of species.

Saguaro National Park The final stop on our whirlwind tour of Arizona was Saguaro National Park, one of the strangest and most amazing places I've ever visited. I spent most of my time here shooting B&W, so this gallery is a bit slim. I'll add scans of my darkroom work later.

Parfrey's Glen I visited my parents in Minnesota in mid-October. One day we drove over to South-central Wisconsin to visit Parfrey's Glen and Taliesin.

Taliesin Taliesin was the estate where Frank Lloyd Wright lived, worked, and taught. We missed the tour of the main house, but were able to tour the Hillside complex, which is where the architectural apprentices live and work.

Explosions = FREEDOM Fourth of July fireworks in the U.S. Capitol. I'm glad I was two miles away from the show. Those poor saps on the the Capitol Mall must be blind and deaf now. Blind and deaf with FREEDOM!!!

Things That Never Lived Why do we find jewels attractive? It's not as though we seek them out because of any paticularly useful properties. My guess is that the origin of our attraction is very old. Must add sparkly precious to nest! Get good mate! My sparkly! Mine!

Monterey Aquarium I recently had an opportunity to visit the Monterey Aquarium, in Monterey, CA. While photographing creatures in exhibits strikes me as a little cheap, I'm quite happy with the pictures I got.

Big Sur The majority of the trip, which contained the above visit to the aquarium, was spent along the California coast in the Big Sur area. No, I have no idea what a Sur is, or how you tell if it's a big one.

San Francisco Summertime Mark Twain famously quipped, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." While there's more than a little truth in that, we do get nice weather... occasionaly.

New York I spent several days in New York City seeing the sights, then drove up to Ithaca for my sister's college graduation.

Colorado River My flight home just happened to stop over in Las Vegas for a couple of days. :) Eager to escape the hurly burly for a day, I went on a decidedly non-whitewater rafting trip down the Colorado River.

June 28, 2002 - I appologize for the lengthy delay in updating the site. I moved from Berkeley into San Francisco in late April, and the experience left me emotionaly exhausted. I just didn't feel like doing much photography, even during my trip to New York! I'm getting back into the swing of things now, so expect more regular updates.

Ireland Vacation - Aran Islands This gallery is comprised of photos I took on the Aran Island of Inismoor, off the West coast of Ireland.

Ireland Vacation - Connemara & Galway Region Pictures taken in the Connemara region of Ireland, found in the Northwest near Galway.

Ireland Vacation - Dublin Mostly images of Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral.

Ireland Vacation - County Kerry Photos from the 'Ring of Kerry', a 120 mile road circuit that one of Ireland's most popular tourist destinations.

Ireland Vacation - Other Images Images that didn't really fit into the other galleries.

Golden Gate Park Death March A long walk on Saturday, March 1st, 2002. My apologies to any members of my audience who have been forced into real death marches.

Big News! I recently replaced my Sony F-505V with a shiny new F-707. The images in my gallery will stay the same size to conserve bandwidth, but you should notice an increase in image quality. Also, the full-sized images make fantastic 8x10 digital prints. Also, I am taking a vacation to Ireland soon, so you can expect to see a couple of gigantic new galleries at the end of March.

Winter in Minnesota These pictures were taken during my trip to Minnesota to visit my parents for Christmas.

Pacific Northwest - Beach In mid-October, I met my parents in Seattle for a short vacation on the Olympic Peninsula. These pictures are from the morning we spent on the Pacific coast beach during low tide.

Pacific Northwest - Rainforest The western slopes of the Olympic mountain range often recieve greater than 10 feet of rainfall per year. This produces a lush rainforest of moss covered trees towering over a sparse undergrowth dotted with mushrooms.

Pacific Northwest - Various Locations This group of photos depict various locations in the Seattle, WA and Victoria, BC areas.

Berkeley Botanical Gardens I work near several of the taller buildings in San Francisco and was told to stay home the day of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. I needed a break from the depressing news, so I hiked up to the Berkeley Botanical Gardens and shot a whole mess of pictures.

Summer in Berkeley & SF Got bored on a Saturday afternoon in early August and decided that it was time to go take more pictures. There are only 2 pictures from SF, I'll leave it to you to guess which ones.

Berkeley Morning Excursion I decided that I was sorely lacking experience photographing with morning light, so I got up at 6:00am on a Sunday and climbed the hills behind Berkeley. A very rewarding, if tiring, trip.

Las Vegas Wedding My friends, Darren and Michelle, decided to get married in Las Vegas. Elvis was not invited to the ceremony.

Late Fall in Berkeley This is a collection of photographs I took while wandering Berkeley around Thanksgiving of 2000.

If you'd like a full-sized (very large) version of any of the pictures on this site, just drop me an e-mail and I'll hook you up. I can be reached here:
