Mono Lake

October 7th, 2024 | Comments Off on Mono Lake

I got up early one morning to catch the good light at Mono Lake.

As the sun peaked over the White Mountains in the east, the Sierra Nevada glowed in the west.

The tufa towers, formed when fresh water springs containing calcium bubble up
through the carbonate rich lake water, looked other worldly.

Even the dry desolation of the area looked beautiful in the early morning light.

Diners

October 4th, 2024 | Comments Off on Diners

The Sixth Street Diner in Los Banos is a great place to fuel up on a road trip.

Unique decor and breakfast served all day!

Nicely’s on US Route 395 in Lee Vining in a classic spot. They have a special every night and an extensive regular menu. The food is pretty good and the customers better! You’re not in Santa Cruz Jonny!

On the return trip it was Happy Burger on California State Route 140 in Mariposa. The burgers were enormous and the staff was happy!

Alice, taking in the scene at Tuolumne Meadows on day one.

After the hot drive it felt great to be at 8,619 feet elevation and 66 degrees.
These photos were made with a LOMO camera and Kodak Color 200.

On Foot

September 30th, 2024 | Comments Off on On Foot

Just back from a week in the Sierra Nevada. We were in the Eastern Sierra and
the Tioga Pass, and Tuolumne Meadows areas.

These photos are from a hike we did yesterday in the Twenty Lakes Basin.

This scene reminded me of a Rothko painting.

Marking the day with a portrait in the alley studio. It wasn’t the sunniest
summer ever but I’m sorry to say goodbye.

Photo a Day

September 14th, 2024 | Comments Off on Photo a Day

More from the archive. In 2008 I worked on a one year project. I posted a photo every
day for a year. Looking back on the photos I made during that time I realized there
were many that were strong photos but didn’t make the edit for that day. It’s been
fun to look through those photos. Here are a couple from Main Beach. You can check
out the project if you click on Photo a Day at the bottom of the Tags list to the right.

Sunset soccer!
