First, a happy new year to you all. Over the past year, I have been working on a major project photographing the state of closed auto dealerships in Los Angeles. I started this series a year ago, after reading that GM and Chrysler shut down almost 3,000 dealers nationwide in the previous two years, not …
With business a bit slow this time of year, I decided to re-visit a location I shot at between 1995 and 2004 at the Port of Long Beach. This facility loads bulk materials such as potash, sodium sulfite and petroleum coke onto ships. There are rail cars and conveyor belt systems all over the yard, …
As many of you know, I have been shooting the San Francisco Bay Bridge reconstruction project for 3 years now. My most recent shoot got me onto the new bridge sections and access to the new SAS (Self-Anchored Suspension) Tower, that soars over 500 feet above the Bay. This assignment, shot as a fine art …
This blog has turned into sort of a travel blog as of late (which has not been my intention), so I wanted to talk about something more technical, but at the same time show some interesting images, most at twilight and at night. As most of you know, I shoot a lot of architecture and …
Due to heavy business traveling over the past month, I am a bit behind on the blog posts. For this post, I will take advantage of a trip I made to South Carolina, Georgia and Florida to visit family and to have a little fun along the way. Using frequent flier mileage took the sting …

In early June, I got access to an area near Pier 70 at the Port of San Francisco that has been closed since the 1989 earthquake. They call this Building #6, which is over 500 feet long, built in 1941 and was used for ship building during WWII. This area has been constantly broken into …
In continuing with the blog post from a couple of weeks ago on China, I’d like to share some images shot in Nanjing. After two weeks in Shanghai, we wanted to move on to another location and initially, we had thought about Beijing, but the idea of another huge city sounded like too much for …
For much of July, I was in China for the opening of the show of my work on the Bay Bridge construction project. The images chosen were from my series shot back in 2009 on that trip to Shanghai. For this post, I’d like to share some of the twilight and night images shot while …
This week, I just got back from a whirlwind trip for the show opening in Shanghai, China, and am still working on processing the imagery from the nearly three week trip. The next post will have some images from China, but in the mean time, I’d like to share some images shot in rural Nevada …
