Former Photographer & Journalist
While my Climate Ride adventure officially begins Sunday, early this morning we departed San Francisco for Fortuna where we begin our 327-mile trek tomorrow morning.
I snapped this image with my iPhone before we headed north. It was my first time to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. In six days I’ll be crossing it again on my bicycle.
Thank you again to all my family and friends who helped me raise more than $4,000 to support climate change awareness and to make cycling safer across the country.
Since I have not been posting any new photographs, and because I was inspired by a recent text conversation with my friend Jason, I am going to post something a little different on here. I enjoy making lists, so — without explaining when, how and why I got into emo music and how much I still love it — here’s my 10 Favorite Emo Albums.
I recently took friends Ross and Melissa to Joshua Tree for their first visit. I took this photo of Ross at Noah Purifoy’s Outdoor Museum. It made me realize I’ve been looking at a lot of Josef Koudelka images lately.
Here’s another outtake from a Femme et vélo shoot we did with Jenny. This was a fun shoot at one of the best spots in Austin to watch the sun set.
On the way home from New Mexico, I made a stop at Grand Canyon National Park while the sun was setting. It was my first time visiting the park. It’s a magnificent place and I look forward to going back and spending more than an hour there.

On our recent trip to Idyllwild, we took Josie for a hike. Here’s an image I took with my phone of her atop a rock looking for where we can venture to next.
I recently acquired a Nikon L35AF — one of the original Nikon point-and-shoot cameras and also the first camera ever had. It was with that same camera that I started shooting my friends’ bands and was inspired to take up photography. It’s fun to have the camera again despite the cost of “cheap” film and lousy processing and scanning. Nevertheless, I took some random snapshots on our recent trip to Joshua Tree including this one of some folks having beers and waiting for a table at Pappy and Harriets.
Last Friday, Sept. 19, was the anniversary of the death of Gram Parsons. So on that day I stayed at the Joshua Tree Inn, which is where Gram died in 1973. I was happy to be there and pay tribute to one of my favorite artists. Here’s an image I took with my phone as I sat poolside at the Inn as the sun was setting. RIP Gram Parsons.
