My wife’s family spends every Thanksgiving together, somewhere new each year. The family has grown so much that we rented the entire Sky Forest Inn this year. It’s in Sky Forest, CA near Big Bear, about two hours outside of LA. We had these clouds almost the entire time. This one is at sunset, the day before Thanksgiving.

One of the things that draw me back to Yosemite is the overwhelming scale of the granite walls. There are places on earth that in one moment humble your perspective and remind you of how small you really are. There is a special beauty in being among giants.

Attending my first Unsplash photowalk hosted by a local photographer and two Unsplash designers. It was great to meet everyone that showed up. We met at Griffith Observatory and then did a short hike towards the Hollywood sign to reach the mid-point where we were able to get great photos of both the Hollywood sign as well as the Griffith Observatory.

Snapped this photo atop City Hall in Los Angeles. The wild colors are due to a forest fire burning in Venture – with smoke stretching down to Los Angeles and visible along the horizon. Hope everyone is staying safe!

We found this cross on a field trip with our grandson at the top of Mount Rubidoux and thought it was so amazing… the way it was displayed for the entire City to see! “Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” —Matthew 5:15

On the set of Lucifer on Netflix, we go to a lot of locations, including churches. While in between scenes or while my actors are changing the clothes that I set in their room, I snap photos of the architecture and interesting locations. The shapes of this building were so detailed that I needed a good photo. Did I capture it?

I’ve seen this sign photographed a million times but during a recent walk downtown I noticed a parking garage near the sign. I walked 8 flights of stairs and found this little window looking out to the Jesus Saves sign.

One of the most recognizable homes in Los Angeles, the Stahl House was etched into our memory from the renowned architectural photographer, Julius Shulman. Here is a different view showing the relation of the house to downtown.

I’m used to sunrising over mountain top and spilling into valleys, but the beauty isn’t in the landscape as much as the sun itself. The warmth, the light, the sight.

It is truly amazing, how fast things change. Just a few months ago, when I visited these hills up in Anaheim, they were filled with vibrant green grass and it was absolutely astonishing. A few months later, the grass turned yellow. It neither a bad or good thing, it was just that, things change… fast.

I drove out the the desert with some friends in the middle of a heatwave. The good part was that there wasn’t a soul out there. The bad part was 30 mph winds smacking us in the face with 115 degree heat. It was so hot that the coolant in the Jeep was boiling the whole time.

While wondering around filming in Venice Beach I took a second, stepped back and took in the moment. Then I switched to camera mode and snapped this photo without truly dialing in the correct settings. When I got to editing the photo I actually enjoyed how it came out. The blurred facing and all. It gives light to know specific person so you can envision yourself as the guy or guy headed to catch some waves on a beautiful sunny Cali day.

I was at the Venice Skatepark one day and I saw this amazing skateboarder and he asked me to take a couple of lifestyle pictures for him so I took this one really special one that reminded me of Childish Gambino’s song Kauai.

This photo was taken during an outing with a friend who I had known for seven years, but had never met in person, believe it or not. We befriended each other through online video gaming, and became very close despite being 3,000 miles apart. Fortuitously, as he was training for the US Airforce, he was stationed at a base an hour away from my home. This was a great opportunity to show him around the places I grew up, including the Santa Monica Pier was this photo was taken. Having been born in Santa Monica, I had never thought much of these tourist attractions, but now this sight feels fresh.

I’ve shot on the Manhattan Beach Pier over a hundred times and have felt completely creatively drained. However, once I added a model it took on a completely different form. Challenges me to add a different element in old environments to force me to think differently and create new things out of old spots.

The other day while we were walking at the Manhattan Beach Pier my one year old son kept staring at all of the birds. So in an attempt to make him laugh we went down to the sand to get a closer look. As soon as we got close the seagulls lifted into the air and my son just started laughing. There are few things in life that are as satisfying as seeing your child smile.

I took this photo while standing on the Hermosa Beach Pier in California this past January. It was my first time out to the West Coast and it rained the whole trip. At first I was bummed, but it also meant that there was near perfect lighting every time I wanted to take a photo. This little sailboat was one of a few out on the water since it was off-and-on showers but I sure am glad they were there.

I Drove to the Beach, so I can Try out my new ND filter I was Excited and I saw a moment where someone across from me was admiring the water. This photo captures someone admiring the water, and I captured the beautiful scenery where there is a City in the back, I love this photo because it makes me feel relaxed when I look at this, and I love the Minimalist look to this image.
