If you know us, you know we are visually motivated.

And you know that we don’t just go for the obviously beautiful.

Projects like “Last Resorts” and “Beautiful Ruins” attest to this fact.

Here is a current example of our wide range of visual pleasures.

Moody, dark, and a narrative that is not a Coke commercial.

So… enjoy our many complicated flavors.

One last Mesa moment, this one tucked into the hillside, with eastern views of the valley.

Happy Sunday.

Hard by the San Jacinto Mountains west of S. Palm Canyon Drive, The Mesa is a surprising oasis of disparate visual pleasures.

Usually you can find us wheeling around on our bikes, grabbing shots and saying hello.

But after this season’s tests of fortitude, we’ve slowed it down and have taken to walking. 

Seeing, hearing and feeling the world around us.

Letting the shots reveal themselves.

We find a calm that is greatly needed.

Our advice? 

Unplug and take a walk. 

And don’t forget the shadows without which everything is just flat and boring.

Walking, digging the sights, and shooting on the old Nikon D200 with the 50mm lens.

Just got back from a wedding in San Francisco.

Congrats to Ben & Nathaniel. Absolutely adorable.

Hangin’ w/Chrissy, Mrs. Lady, so many others. Too much fun.

Stayed overnight in Pismo Beach on the return trip.

Today and tomorrow we’re up in Joshua Tree shooting for decorator/stylist Michael Walters. 

That’s Michael rushing through the shot styling up a beautiful storm.

Kudos to his partner Lee for keeping us cool, calm, and collected.

We’re also celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary this fine December 7th.

Like we said: always having a ball.

A monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition.

It is the only structure from the Exposition that survives on site. 

The most prominent building of the complex is a 162 feet high open rotunda.

It is enclosed by a lagoon on one side, and is neighboring a large, curved exhibition center on the other side, which is separated from the lagoon by colonnades.

It was conceived to evoke a decaying ruin of ancient Rome.

Here it is, in all it’s beauty under cloudy San Francisco skies.
