A couple friends of mine came to visit me in San Francisco last week, so I grabbed some flowers from the corner store to put in the guest room. Then I was gone for a week and when I came back they had all wilted. Not one, however, had lost a single petal.

Believe it or not, this is actually what the street looked like the other morning at 6:45. The only processing done to this photo is a small contrast boost. And some sharpening, because when I first started shooting I had my camera on manual focus. I didn’t realize it until the sun had come up and the street was no longer this beautiful.

I’m pretty much in love with the mix of purples, pinks, blues, and yellows—a combination of the cobalt blue dawn sky, the street lights, and the crosswalk stripes. Hoping to get a more focused shot in the near future!

This is one of the other photos that I was considering for the background of the site. Probably wouldn’t have worked very well at all. Either way, it makes for a great desktop wallpaper.

Love this stretch of highway through Colorado. Takes you way up, then way back down, with spectacular views along the way. There was a great deal of fog in the valleys as the sun was setting. Made for a great photo op.

The most beautiful stretch of highway in the US. The canyon walls absolutely dwarf the 18-wheeler at bottom center (it’s white). If you can’t see it, check out the full size photo.

Also available as an iPhone wallpaper.

Shot this at the Louvre. I love massive history paintings. Pictured here is Jacques-Louis David’s The Coronation of Napoleon (1806). 6.21 m × 9.79 m!

The website will be sporting a new look in the next couple days. It is by far the the most detail-oriented design I’ve ever put together and I am very excited to let it into the wild after weeks of late nights and what seemed like never-ending perfecting of the new design. Stay tuned.
