Visiting Roan Mountain | northern California landscape photographer
Several summers ago was a whirlwind. And, it all started with a trip to North Carolina to visit and photograph with my friends Kathy Roberts and Jennifer Carr. Kathy opened her beautiful home to us and created a photographer's dream schedule for us beginning with Roan Mountain on our first full day there.
Alabama Hills | Northern California landscape photographer
At first sight, the Alabama Hills landscape appears chaotic, full of lines and textures, and as with many new areas there is a feeling of ‘Where do I begin?” as you take it all in. This was my second visit to the area so at least this time, I had an idea of what a few of the photography possibilities were and where to go to achieve them.
Manzanar | Northern California Landscape Photographer
Manzanar Relocation Center is one of ten ‘internment’ camp locations of the 40’s after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and thus pulled us into WWII. Immigrants and CITIZENS of the USA with Japanese heritage were all required to leave their homes and belongings.
Forests of the Northern California State Parks
Surrounding oneself with nature is a sure way to renew, de-stress, and relax. That is exactly how I felt while visiting the beautiful coast and forests of the Northern California State Parks last summer. Because it is a bit remote in many areas, there is no cell coverage and no internet.
Fine Art Landscape Mosaics of Death Valley
Intimate views of the landscape of Death Valley reveal nature-made mosaics full of color and texture. I was viewing landscape mosaics, artistic patchworks of rocks, minerals, and soil in colors that are not my idea of a typical desert scene. A desert landscape is shades of brown and tan, or so I believed. This was not Death Valley National Park as I remembered it.
