On this overcast morning in April, I went to the coast to enjoy some quiet time. The shapes in the layered cliffs caught my eye. There was a pretty heavy marine layer this day but I was ok with it as it gave me some…

I have been enjoying the process of getting to know the Bronica. Having only one lens and it being a prime has been both challenging and refreshing. It has helped me see other interesting parts of my local lake…

Kat and I were blessed to be able to spend a few days in Yosemite National Park in April. Although I brought my camera gear and hoped to make a few images, photography wasn’t the focus of this trip. Spending time…
