This picture was taken when I was in Boston last year at a conference. As a part of the conference attendees were taken on a boat cruise along the river and I was able to snap this picture of the gorgeous Boston sky just as the sun was fully setting.

In 2009 I went to travel all over China for a month with my friend Brian. We basically made a big circle around China and visited close to a dozen of the provinces there. We saw everything from the modern skyscrapers in Shanghai to the rice patty fields in remote villages. One of the places we ventured to was Huangshan or “Yellow Mountain” in the Anhui province. It was absolutely amazing. We climbed thousands of steps for around 4-5 hours, just in time to see the sunset. Then we went to bed and woke up at 5am the next morning (while it was pitch black outside) to hike another 2 miles to the edge of a cliff to see this spectacular sunrise. To say it was cold is an understatement, it was freezing, but it was absolutely worth it! I’m sure I will be sharing more pictures from my trip to China here but if you would like to see the rest of them they can all be found on China set on Flickr, enjoy!

Both pictures were taken a few years ago on a foggy day in San Francisco, I must have taken around 50-60 pictures that day with different settings but I really like the black and white and the sepia pictures below. Each picture [...]

This picture was taken on October 8, 2011 in Oslo Norway on the way to the Holmenkollen skii jump. I really like this picture because the leaves on the tree were the same color as the hotel in the background, a beautiful golden brown. To me it’s a great picture that captures the coming of [...]

I always found it interesting how easy it is for people to get down on themselves when things don’t go their way. Instead of being unhappy about the things that aren’t going your way why not focus on things that are going your way and the things that you DO have? There will always be [...]
