Upper Crystal Creek Falls (Straight Up)
Do you ever landscape your landscapes? Let me bring you in on a little secret. I usually go through my creek shots with a fine-toothed comb and remove sticks and leaves that are clogging up the flows. I missed a few this time and was too lazy to c... more

Lower Crystal Creek Falls 2
If you're looking for a quick and easy waterfall to get to, this is a great one. You park 1/4 mile from it and the hike is on a flat trail.
This was taken in January and the flows were still nice because Crystal Creek is spring fed. The wat... more

Near Brandy Creek (Secret)
I found this exploring Brandy Creek in Whiskeytown. It's a drainage that was so beautiful I ended up spending about 20 minutes cleaning dead fall out of it. One of my many tricks that I use to achieve a pristine landscape shot.

Keswick Dam
Not afraid to get a little bit wet, I head out at lunch to shoot the Keswick Dam in the rain. The banks of the Sacramento River are lined with jagged rock outcroppings which are very stark and dramatic. Since it was raining, there was a small seas... more

Brand Creek Falls (Exuberance)
Something I always find myself saying is to work for your images. How do you do that? One of the best ways is to find a point of view different than what you normally find. To get here, I had to carefully climb down these canyon walls to reach the... more

Lower Brand Creek Falls (Been a Long Time Coming)
When ever I can catch two waterfalls in a single frame, I'm all over that opportunity. This is a popular spot along Brandy Creek, but I had never seen it full of water like you do here. The falls on the left have much less water than those on the ... more

Brandy Creek (Been a Long Time Coming)
Creeking is one my all time favorite things to do. Sure, anyone can walk to the waterfall on the map, but there is usually so much more good stuff. Yeah, it's not some monster waterfall, but it's got so much character. Most of my waterfall shots a... more

Lower McCloud Falls (Pure)
Lower McCloud Falls is the last in a set of three waterfalls on the McCloud River near Mount Shasta. It's a popular place in the summer to fish and swim. Here in the winter, it was blanketed with snow and I had it all to myself.
Brandy Creek (Immersion)
I'm always preaching that less is more when it comes to composition. Here standing in the midst of the chilly water with my camera inches above the water's surface, I didn't include very much. In fact the way the creek moves around this bend reall... more

Brandy Creek Falls (I want your attention)
When I was sitting here taken back by all the power of the water flowing through the main waterfall, in a moment I noticed these tiny little streams of water flowing off to the side. I was attracted to their delicacy contrasting against the sheer ... more

Placer Street Bridge (Impossible Feat)
Landscapes are so much fun when you just get down and dirty and explore. I had no idea what I was getting into. Placer road used go the long way around this deep canyon before this bridge was built. The old road and bridge are still there, so we p... more

Kings Creek Meadow (This Way)
Sometimes it's really important to do your homework before you go out on location to catch sunrise. I completely neglected to check where the sunrise was going to hit the peak on Lassen and all I got was bupkiss! The light was on the other side of... more

(Potem Falls) Fade
The devil is in the details they say. Who are they anyway? I digress. Potem Falls is a large waterfall and I found myself captivated by the greens grown on the shelves in the cliff. Always drawn to strong shapes and forms, I found this unusual way... more

Sacramento River Headwaters (Neverland)
I felt like I had stepped into a fantasy novel. The way the paths cut through the lush landscape, I expected to see fairies playing in the reeds with elves playing tag around the bend. I love paths, they really get my imagination going for some re... more
