Photography is the first step of creating an image. Editing and converting a picture the second. Here I photographed the palm trees in Rahilly park in Merced. I walk in this park almost every day and usually I carry a camera with me. At home I work with my images. Here I converted my image into a watercolor painting. Enjoy!

Cottage in Carmel
Carmel by the sea, located on the central California coast is a lovely town with lots of small cottages and shops. It is definitely worth a visit.
Thistle
I have some volunteer thistles growing on the side of my house. When they started to bloom I cut some of them and photographed them on my lightbox.
A happy Guy
Walking through downtown Merced with two photographer friends we met this gentleman who allowed us to photograph him. He was quite talkative and he seemed to be a happy person. I wonder what happened in his life that he living in the streets.
Looking for Polaris
I was setting up my equipment for star photography when I decided to use a second camera to photograph the light beam that connects the star tracker with Polaris. Enjoy!
Bug 1972
I discovered this almost 50 year old VW in Sonora, CA. It has a current license and it looks like it is still driven. Amazing!
Natural Bridge
David and I hiked about a mile down to a cave called “Natural Bridge” in central California. A creek is running through the cave and water was dripping from the ceiling of the cave.

A victim of COVID?
I photographed this man resting on a bench in downtown Merced. I assume that all of his belongings are in his bag. I wonder if he was recently evicted through the COVID crisis. Maybe he lost his job? I don’t know but people like him touch me and I wish I could help them.
Records and Reflections
A few friends and I were photographing in downtown Merced today. We got permission to photograph inside a music store. The owner was washing old records and I photographed them.
Enjoy!
Kissing Cousins
“Kissing Cousins” is a rock formation close to Monterey, CA. Enjoy!
