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 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

Whiskeytown Lake (Getting the Worm)
So much of taking a great photograph is just showing up. This shot wasn't hard to take, we just had to bundle up and get here really early to catch this ephemeral light. So as the old saying goes, "The early bird catches the worm". Don't be afraid... 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

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.

Tossed Driftwood
When the lake is low, you can find big heaps of driftwood that collect in the east side of the lake. The access is difficult, but if you can make it lakeside, you will be treated with hundreds of pieces. They were a bit overwhelming to take in bec... more
