Dessert


It was hard to refrain from eating a piece while taking pictures.

Architectural Frame


Two unlike buildings superimposed through reflection. The black-and-white is a bit of a cop-out here, since the colors in the original just didn't match very well.

A Bug's Perspective


Four strong colors and an unusual perspective. Too bad about the traffic light's shadow in the background, though.

Shards


Shards from a broken CD case between two polarizing filters. The plastic's stress patterns produce interesting color variations.

Crown

More droplet photography. It takes quite a bit of experimentation and patience to get a good picture. I had to stop experimenting when my flash ran out of battery.

Reflections of Britain

The window of Ye Olde King's Head, a British pub in Santa Monica. The contorted window pane mixes indoor and outdoor views in an interesting way.

Racing Duckling

This family of ducks was resting next to a pond, and got irritated at being photographed pretty quickly. I took this picture when they made their escape to a more peaceful corner of the pond.

The owner of the RV showed great stylistic sense by parking in front of this wall.

Space Salt


Ordinary table salt, photographed using the "reverse lens technique." The "stars" in the background are air bubbles in the glass I used as a background.

Waiting for the Cook


Another try at food photography. Now what to make out of these ingredients?

Life



A cluster of buds and open flowers. I almost feel like I can watch the buds develop into flowers.

Blue


Another exercise in color and geometry. This is the Blue Bus maintenance facility in Santa Monica.

Leaves


The afternoon sunlight playing in the leaves often catches my eye. Unfortunately this picture doesn't really have anything for the eye to focus on.
