Moonstone Beach, in Cambria, California has some of the most breath taking sunrises in California. Having lived in Cambria for about 5 years, I have a nice collection of sunrises and sunsets. Cambria is a catalyst for artistic expression and is an amazing town to visit if you are an are lover. Don't forget to try the BBQ chicken on the North end of Town!

This is a closeup of a Black Crown Crane. They're
generally pretty camera shy, so I was pretty excited to get this shot. Cranes and Egrets along with a few other interesting species have shown an increased interest in the Atascadero Lake area over the past 5 years or so. This one is available
in various print forms.

This Praying Mantis was found in the back yard while planting some Hibisscus. In this shot he's
standing a the lid of a styrofoam cooler. He later
crawled onto my hand and didn't seen too afraid at
at. after letting me take a rediculous amount of shots, he got bored and walked away.

Biography

Being raised on the California Central Coast and always loving art in many forms, I began pursuing art as a child. After meeting my wife, who is also a
photographer, the camera became the main art form in my life. Although I now specialize in Hotels, Vinyards, Events, and Publicity shoots, I continue
to shoot Nature and Wildlife photography as a fine art as an outlet for the artistic side. I also enjoy shooting for friends and family as well as helping out our
local Land Preservation society. My regular website has more information on services, downloadable forms, tearsheets, and a resume. To see more
