Blood Orange Sky - Day 282

 HUNTINGTON HARBOR, Calif. (October 9, 2025) - It’s so hard to predict sunsets. I have a few apps that I use and 90+ percent of the time, they let you down. Even when it looks visually good, it can change very quickly. This is one of the few evenings when the sky blew up during blue hour. As per usual, most of the crowd left after sunset. Thankfully, I stayed. 







Fall Morning - Day 277

 SEAL BEACH, Calif. (October 4, 2025) - Caught a beautiful fall morning in Seal Beach. Shot with the Leica M with the Voigtlander 40mm Heliar. It was a great day to test out the Heliar.

The Chameleons UK - Day 269

 SEATTLE, WA (September 26, 2025) - Took a trip to Seattle to catch The Chameleons UK, an English band formed in 1981. I have previously seen them a couple times. They broke up for many years and have reformed and released a new album. Singer/bass player Mark Burgess and guitarist Reg Smithies are original members. The show was fantastic, but I was only able to shoot iPhone photos. Here are a few from the show.
