Last weekend I was down in the Boston area for the first wedding I have attended since I was small enough to be the ring-bearer. Cal, a friend from my high school years whom I have kept in touch with since. The ceremony, short and touching, was officiated by Cal’s mother, a judge, and concluded … Continue reading “Katy and Cal’s Wedding”
A peak along the Trans-Canada Highway peeks out from low morning clouds in Jasper National Park of Canada. The low clouds and fog that would pour over the mountains in Jasper were one of my favorite attributes of the park. My Black & White technique could perhaps use some work–I am not sure this is … Continue reading “Clouds and Peak, Jasper National Park, Summer 2006”
I told this story elsewhere, but I think it worth repeating: I spent two or three hours shooting a pair of marmots in Yoho NP (Canada), not because I particularly wanted to shoot them for that long, but because the rock the marmots were sunning themselves on was very near the road, and I, with … Continue reading “Marmot, Yoho National Park of Canada, Summer 2006”
I am trying to spend some time wandering about the Stanford campus and taking some photographs each time I go home to visit my parents. It is odd to walk around Stanford: as a graduate student, I have spent some seven years in higher education so far, with three different universities becoming intimately familiar to … Continue reading “Abstract of Tree and Hoover Tower, Stanford Campus, Palo Alto, Spring 2006”

As dawn was just breaking, the clouds and fog were constantly on the move, making it a wonderful time to shoot. I had intended to shoot the reflections on Lake Josephine with the … Continue reading “Fog and Trees, Dawn, Glacier National Park, Summer 2006”
I was running to find a place to get this image, and ended up there rather late–I wanted the moon to wind up in the crook of the curved top of one of the cypresses. This location afforded an excellent candidate, but I had wasted too much time, and wasted more setting up my tripod … Continue reading “Cypress, Point Lobos, January 2007”
My favorite shot from a trip to Point Lobos with my family. I was focusing on shooting the couple watching the sunset; when the birds came into the image, I shot quickly, and forgot to bracket the images, which unfortunately means I cannot recover any detail in the sun. I think that the overexposed sun … Continue reading “Sunset, Point Lobos, January 2007”
Sean Winslow at Point Lobos, January 2007 (camera held by Neal Winslow) In retrospect, this image would have been considerably better if I have been holding the ccamera away from my face, but since I handed the camera off after composing it (it is a picture of me, after all), I did not notice this … Continue reading “A New Start”
