As Washington DC's newest attraction, the Franklin D. Roosevelt memorial
is a beautiful spot for picture taking. In this shot, I wanted to
show how the memorial uses trees to beautify the area.
Shot from across the tidal basin, I used trees to frame the Jefferson Memorial
in this photo.
I wanted to take a photo of the Jefferson Memorial from an angle I hadn't
seen before. That's exactly what I found when riding the tour bus.
I like the way the sunlight produces a silhouette.
The Vietnam Memorial is an awesome sight. Here I used the length
of it to make "leading lines" up to the Washington Monument. I wish
all those people weren't in the way, but what are you gonna do.
It's no wonder why Minnesota is called land of 10,000 lakes. This
was shot on the way to Valleyfair, an amusement park near Minneapolis.
If you look real close, you can see Wild Thing, a 200 foot tall roller
coaster, in the left horizon.
Arizona provides wonders for the camera. Here, you can see a storm
soaking the Vermilion Cliffs in the background. I love the way the
rain glows pink in the photo.
The Grand Canyon may well be the most spectacular sight in the world.
I took this from the north rim. Notice how all the rocks are reflecting
the pink in the sky.
California's Big Sur coast is one of the most beautiful sights in this
country. In this photo, I used the flowers to frame the Pacific Coast
Highway bridge.
This was shot at Lake Tahoe. I obviously had to set this one up,
because my family would never stand that close to each other.
The drive from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas took us through Zion National
Park in Utah. What a pleasant surprise, as you can see in this photo.
This is another shot of the Big Sur Coast in California.
This is a shot of "Bird Rock" in Monterey, California, which is actually
inhabited by sea lions. I was pleased by the sea gull that glided
in just for my photo.
Our timing worked out so that we arrived at the Lone Cypress at sunset,
providing some spectacular pictures. As you can see in this shot,
it really isn't that lonely.
Shooting rockafeller center in May 1999 was tough since they were constructing all around it, so I used the flowers to hide all the equipment.
Shot from the top of the World Trade Center, you can see how much taller the towers are compared to the rest of New York's skyline, inclucing the distant Empire State Building.
Walking through the streets of San Francisco, I decided to get creative.
I tilted my camera on a steep angled street to give the illusion that the
houses were leaning.
