My wife and I love to travel when we are not spending time with our family. One of my great passions is taking time out to find something interesting in places around me. We have the great pleasure to live on the central coast of California close to where I grew up.

I love taking landscape pictures, which can change depending on the light of the day. One of my favorite pictures was taken on a foggy morning in the Santa Ynez Valley with the sun trying to break through a large valley oak tree. As the picture is viewed thought out the day, it looks different depending on the ambient light.

I love seeing a picture before it happens. The perfect shot and the lighting are very important, as I do not spend a lot of time fixing a picture.
