On October 21st, one of the many Southern California wild fires (the Santa Rosa Valley / Nightsky fire) was burning just blocks from my house. My house is far enough from the hills and where the fires were burning that it really wasn’t in any danger. Anyway, I decided to go up the street to take some pictures of the fire. Well, I got closer than I ever expected I’d be allowed, and ended up with some really cool images as a result. Here are a few of them:

Now, here’s the best part… the Today Show clip featuring three of the images above!:

Additionally, the pictures were published online with MSNBC, KNBC, the L.A. Times and others. As a result of the wide reach of these photographs, some of the firefighters’ family and friends recognized them and contacted me about obtaining printed photographs. It’s amazing how fast communication has become because of the internet and how small the world is becoming as a result.

If you’ve seen any of my photographs in other interesting places please let me know as I’d love to share those as well.

Hey friends! So, I finally got on-board with this blogging revolution (fairly reluctantly I might add!). I think it will be a good new addition as it will give me a forum to post things that may not fit into the format of the main website.

I plan to use the blog to post interesting images, fun stories about photo shoots, new happenings, possibly even tips & tricks I happen to pick-up, etc.

Well, enough for the intro…

I’d love to know what you think of the blog.
