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.

With a fire ban in the area, we needed a different nighttime activity to relax after the sun went down. Luckily, Alabama Hills has so many rocks that can be used as projector screens. Thanks to a battery-powered projector, we were able to up our ‘glamping’ game and have a movie night under the stars.

A fire and friends are all you need for a great evening, but some hot cinnamon tea and bourbon doesn’t hurt. I wanted to capture the feeling of camping out under the stars with a fire, but the vast difference in light intensity between the fire and the stars made this image impossible to create in camera. The solution is to merge two exposures, one for the fire in the foreground, and one for the stars in the sky.

I drove from 1am to 6am to make it up to Mammoth to reach this mountain range before sunrise. I was able to make it on this beautiful clear morning before the sunrise and ran around trying to find the perfect angle and then I came across this perfect moment of the sun just peeking over and hitting Mount Whitney.

I drove 5 hours from 1am to 6am to capture this mountain range in the morning light. I was able to get there before the sunrise and the snow on the mountains lit up for me. The sacrifice is always worth it

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

We found a young koyote hunting in death valley. As we took the pictures it walked in our direction and we had to get back in our car to stay safe. It watched us carefully all time long.

We drove trough a desert in Death Valley as we found three coyotes relaxing from their hunt. As I took the photos the coyote watched me carefully. As he stood up and walked in my directon I had to elude. The situation got even more dangerous as the other two also came in my direction. I watched them carefully and backed out to get back in the car which was about 50 ft behind me. The coyotes followed me. As we drove away the coyotes still watched us.

We left Las Vegas in the middle of the night, reaching the dunes, an hour before sunrise. There was only one other car in the parking lot. We walked out to find the highest set of dunes to watch the sunrise.

We only had time for a quick detour into Death Valley National Park on our way home from the Eastern Sierras. After spending most of our trip under overcast skies and in freezing temperatures, DVNP was a shock to our systems. Even under the brightest sun, this place is all about layers and textures and color. I look forward to seeing it again.

My first stop always at Death Valley National Park, Zabriskie Point. From this beautiful and texture-rich vantage point one can admire the dramatic geological features this immense park has to offer.
