Los Angeles In and Around






































These photographs were taken in and around the Los Angeles area. I moved to LA in 2001 and really enjoy it. Despite the occasional earthquake, it’s a great place to live. The weather is outstanding almost everyday.







Black & White Photos








These photographs were taken on an early morning walk in Southern Illinois. My parents live in the quiet area. I have found that the best time to take photographs is early in the morning because the lighting is soft.

Old Telephone Pole

My wife and I pulled over to the side of the road on a road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco and I noticed this old Telephone pole. I just thought it looked interesting with all the weeds / flowers around it.

Our Pets
























































Rico is our 2nd Parrot. My wife and I first noticed this parrot in the store and it kept saying step up when I walked by his cage. When I opened his cage, he step up to me and started saying his name “Rico”. The store owner said he bites, so I was a little leery of him, but I could tell he liked me. I wasn’t interested in buying him, since I already had a parrot. About three weeks later my wife purchased him while I was on a business trip and now Rico and I are Buds!!
Abby is our first parrot.








I took these old Barn photographs in Southern Illinois.





This photo was taken in Las Vegas trip with my wife.

San Diego California Night Shots using T Pod











These photos were taken in San Diego. I was experimenting with using long exposures by using a tri pod and the delayed timer to reduce vibration.

Photos near LAX











This photo was taken next to LAX (Los Angeles). I captured what appears to be a 747 coming to a stop, enjoy!

Waterfall near Hilo Hawaii
