These photos are from 1998. I was a counselor at a camp for the Art of Living Foundation up in Lake Tahoe.
These photos were taken on film. The negatives were scanned in. Also, I was new too Photoshop then. I did things then I would not do now…

“The Best Camera is the One You Have With You”
Who said that? If you know the origin of that quote, please let me know. A few minutes of internet searching could not answer that question. It is a very popular quote. Placed in quotes for an exact search, there are over 55,000 results in a google search.
But I digress. When I was a travel photographer, I had pro gear with me all the time. Now that I’m more domesticated, the one camera I am sure to have at all times is the one on my phone.
The thing is, I get some good photos with it! This one from last week for example.
So, I will periodically use this blog to show some of these photos, in no particular order.
Bret The Redeemer
The Photo above was spontaneous. We did not plan on referencing the Christ The Redeemer statue in Brazil.
All three of these photos were taken on Christmas Day, 2009 at Pfeiffer Beach Big Sur California.

Not bad for a phone.

This Way To Happiness
This is a test. I can post to my blog from my phone. Can I also post a photo? Let’s find out.
I can! I can post photos! This is so cool.
The three photos I picked I shot in Piedmont last year. I love these shots. There is something about the lens flare, the creek, the girls playing. These photos turn of the words in my head when I’m looking at them. To me, that is something that good art can do.
Dancers caught in mid motion
This is one of the best photos of dancers I’ve ever taken. They are professional dancers, but the moment was un-posed. As a photographer, I believe firmly in the critical moment, and in this case I am sure I captured it.
