Meadow Valley Night Photography
I saw some of the most stunning shooting stars of my entire life while shooting with my Dad. This is my favorite image from the night. The old gas station in meadow valley is lit by the moon just barely over the mountains. I got really excited that water from the fields had made the street wet enough to reflect light from the sky. Quincy, California and the surrounding areas are really lucky to have such amazing views.
Scary Bridge at Night
While shooting this photo, I got a very strong feeling that I was not alone. It was late and probably not the safest place to be. Right as I was leaving I realized that there was actually someone hiding out of view behind one of the mainly pillars my back was facing. I made a quick exit to say the least. Pepper spray is now always in my bag when shooting at night in the City!
"Suicide Bridge"
I don’t get too many chances to shoot night photography in the city. I generally gravitate toward nature. But the very first time driving past “Suicide Bridge” I knew I wanted to shoot it late one night. I love design of the historic bridge near Pasadena. The flares in the bottom photo are a bit disconcerting, but I feel like the photo successfully conveys the scale of the bridge.
Street Vender
This woman was selling candy on a side street in Cusco, Peru. Thought it looked very lonely and felt sort of compelled to capture the emotion that it made me feel. Hopefully I conveyed it well.
Pasadena City Hall
I really enjoy downtown Pasadena. Great food, shops, culture and art. This was a shot from a really great night I had exploring the area around the City Hall at night.
Fireworks!
I can’t remember how many times as a child I tried to take photographs of a fireworks display. They almost never turned out. I feel better about these! Doesn’t the top one look like a creature you might find in the sea at night?
Longtime wish
Since I moved to southern california I have wanted to photograph the Blimp Hangers in Tustin. I used to pass them on the freeway and would say one day I’ll shoot those! I was lucky enough to have the chance the other night.
They are massive! Here is some info I googled on them: “This field was originally built as a blimp base in 1942 as Santa Ana Naval Air Station. At first 6, then 12 blimps operated out of the station. The large, all-wood hangers were built to house the blimps and at the time of their construction were and still are the world’s largest clear span wooden buildings. The hangars are each more than 1,000 feet long & 300 feet wide.”
Gamble House
Its no huge secret that I am an architecture geek. A little while ago I got to visit the Gamble House in Pasadena – designed by the famous Charles and Henry Greene. I went at night of course to photograph the exterior. Now I have to go back for a tour of the inside during the day. Not only is this beautiful home a part of the American Arts and Crafts movement, but its also the home in a very famous film… can anyone take the time to guess? No cheating! Post your guesses.
