Not really Greece. But it certainly looks like the old country. This is the Holly Cross Greek Orthodox church in Belmont. The interior is an amazing display of hand crafted tiles, created in Greece, the brought back to Belmont and hand install into beautiful, continuous murals. Entrance to the church is not typically open to the public. But if you have a friend and they can take you, it’s like taking a trip across the ocean and back in time. […]
A beautiful foggy morning at Michael’s. Making a quick iphone shot quick and easy. The other shot is downtown Mountain View. It was so surprising to see the streets empty in the middle of the weekday. Usually these street are fill with tables and chairs from the restaurant, along with plenty of people taking their lunch break.

So I came up with this image. I will offer it free to anyone who wants to help promote their yoga […]
I have been working on a series for a few years, where I juxtapose the human figure against architectural shapes and forms. Last week we were in the studio experimenting with a new camera system. Unfortunately the system did not work the way it was supposed to. But we ended up capturing some wonderful shots. FYI – that’s a model, not me. For those people who may be getting confused…..
Years ago, I used to grab my camera and go out in the early mornings or late afternoons with a friend of mine, Ron Shirley. We might go to the mountains or ocean, or we might go to the inner city. We would make the trips to do what we referred to as “Exercising the Eye”. Which basically meant that we did not set out to capture any particular image, only to look for the beauty in the world and […]
