I received a request on Flickr a couple days ago: you mentioned taking 3 exposures in one of your shots (a stream in big basin) and combining them together in photoshop. how do you do that? I can only assume he meant this one: Redwoods and West Berry Creek Big Basin State Park, Santa Cruz […]

A while back I decided to choose between subscribing to Gizmodo and Engadget, because they’re very similar and I’m not that gadget-obsessed. First I removed both hoping friends would forward me the interesting stuff. That didn’t happen because I guess I’m a really big know-it-all jerk.

Out of nowhere a Bed, Bath and Beyond and a Best Buy sprung up within spitting distance of the Costco. To give you an idea how close that is to me, I gauge my trips to Costco by how much stuff I need to carry. If it is a “real” Costco run (you know those […]
Mike Fletcher asked me about shooting the Golden Gate Bridge because he is coming up here soon. I was shocked to find I haven’t processed any photos of it, even though I drive over it on my way to hikes in the north. In fact, I only took photos of it on one day, and […]
