Mt. Shasta
Mt. Shasta is such a spectacular place. Since it was the last time of the year to catch the Milky Way, I thought it would be a great time to not showcase the mountain itself, but the skies above. Enjoy!
Alternative Processes – Cyanotype Edition
The last five months or so I have been diving head first into cyanotypes. Its a contact print process from 1840. Here are my results so far. Will post a “how to” video soon. Enjoy!

What is there to say about Big Sur that all ready hasn’t been said. Legends & creative geniuses speak of the area like a Greek Goddess; including Hunter S. Thomas & Jack Kerouac. For most of my time was spent at the lovely Kirk Creek Campground, 100 feet in a bluff above the ocean, I ventured out everywhere. I hope you all enjoy.
A Revolutionary Town, Marblehead, Massachusetts
Marblehead is a coastal town along the Atlantic Ocean, in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 19,808 at the 2010 census.[2] It is home to the Marblehead Neck Wildlife Sanctuary, Crocker Park, The Marblehead Lighthouse, The Spirit Of ’76, and Devereux Beach. A town with roots in both commercial fishing and yachting, Marblehead is the birthplace of the American Navy, Marine Corps Aviation, and a popular yachting site in the United States.
A large percentage of residents became involved early in the Revolutionary War, and the sailors of Marblehead are generally recognized by scholars as forerunners of the United States Navy. The first vessel commissioned for the navy, Hannah, was equipped with cannons, rope, provision (including the indigenous “Joe Frogger” molasses/sea water cookie)—and a crew from Marblehead. With their nautical backgrounds, soldiers from Marblehead under General John Glover were instrumental in the escape of the Continental Army after the Battle of Long Island, and Marblehead men ferried George Washington across the Delaware River for his attack on Trenton. Many who set out for war, however, did not return.
