Well, this sucks. Caught COVID. Took the test twice bc I didn't believe it. Thought I just had a bad migraine or the beginnings of a cold. I'll leave you with this view of the @montereybayaquarium.org. #bayareaphotographer #photography #monochrome #classicmono #montereybay #aquarium

A sculpture high up the side of an otherwise nondescript office building in Bergen. Weird. #bergen #bayareaphotographer #photography #monochrome #classicmono #travelphotography

We have witches in Monterey, so I hear. Last weekend, all I encountered were oak trees dancing in the lifting fog. Does that count? #bayareaphotographer #photography #monochrome #classicmono #landscapes #forest #oak #hiking #fog

For my next set of shots, we will explore the secret life of R2D2, as our little droid tries to shake the shackles of domestication and explore life outside. In commemoration of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art that opens next week. #R2D2 #starwars #bayareaphotographer #photography #lucasmuseum

The last Calla Lily shot for now. I've run out of quotes and deep thoughts, and will next move on to completely different subject matter. #bloomscrolling #floral #callalilies #bayareaphotographer #photography #fineartnude @francesinframe.bsky.social

The model amongst the Calla Lilies along the Big Sur coast, overrun with tourists unless you get there very early in the morning. The Timber Fire has consumed large parts east of CA-1. @francesinframe.bsky.social #bloomscrolling #floral #callalilies #fineartnude #bayareaphotographer #photography

Ok, here's the heretofore mentioned photo of a cow (and a hog) from the local fair. Sorry, no pictures of goats. (Testing to see if this scrolling scene works on BlueSky as well.) #countyfair #cows #hogs #livestock #humansofbluesky #bayareaphotographer #photography

Lucky me! 1st place in their respective categories at the Monterey County Fair. And, I got to hobnob with cows, goats, and hogs. #photocompetition #countyfair #bayareaphotographer #photography

Flashbacks to my Iceland trip. Guess the tourist season hadn't opened yet. In March, so much was still locked up. #iceland #traveliceland #Dimmuborgir #winter #snow #monochrome #classicmono #bayareaphotographer #photography

A new edit of a photo I posted a month ago. Instead of turning the image into monochrome, like my first attempt, I leaned into the muted color present in the original image. I like the way this one turned out. #bayareaphotographer #photography #minimalism #travelphotography #norway

This is Edvard Munch's "In the Man's Brain". He apparently inscribed one of the woodcuts with, "He was thinking of her naked body." Clearly, the woman "in the brain" is not just a memory – she's a haunting. I can relate. Not a good thing. #bayareaphotography #art #munch #woodcut #inthemansbrain

I'm not sure what brought it on, but CC Flight seems to be going through a "phase" over on IG rn. I took this photo in 2023 at a Leica workshop in Big Sur, back when working with nudes was new to me. #fineartnude #bayareaphotographer #photography

After my first lecture today, I had a student approach me, saying, "I heard you were a hard ass, but you seem like a pretty friendly guy to me." At which I responded, "The two traits are not mutually exclusive." 😏 #lifeasaprof

I feel I always need to push myself to try new (types of) subjects. Got recruited to photograph Monterey Car Week. Here're photos from a car rally last week, where I still managed to photograph people (rather than fetishizing the cars themselves)! #humansofbluesky #carweek #bayareaphotographer
