A couple of weeks ago I took a motorcycle ride down to Dunsmiur to take some pictures of Hedgecreek Falls. This is a waterfall right off of the freeway in Dunsmuir. There is never much water flowing here over this falls, but it is a short hike you can do with the kids. The trail goes right …
On the 4th of July I went with Steve Thornburg over to place just past Bray, CA by Orr Lake to cut some firewood. So of course I took my camera along for the chance to get some great pictures. I was shooting these pictures during the middle of the afternoon so the lighting was a …
On the 23rd of June Christian, son number four, entered the waters of baptism becoming an official member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

On my way home from my barbershop concert last night this huge moon was rising over Mt. Shasta. You know one of those huge optical illusion orangeish moons. I rushed home and grabbed my tripod and camera and drove south looking for a good spot to take a picture. I wish I knew more about …

Last saturday I had the great pleasure of taking some pre-prom photos of two lovely young ladies, Faith and Danielle.
