Bright Skies Over Point Bonita Lighthouse

Our visit to Point Bonita Lighthouse was amazing, even with the limited hours and harsh midday sun. While exploring Muir Woods National Monument, we realized we had a bit of time to spare and that Point Bonita was just a few minutes away. A park ranger greeted us and gave a brief history before opening…
San Francisco Curves

While out seeing the sights, we stopped at Lombard Street to admire its famous curves. Being mindful of residents and tourists, I captured a few photos of the winding street, its charming houses, and the surrounding landscape before moving on. Part of a San Francisco photo series.

Everyday San Francisco

Not every photo from the trip was of big views or famous spots. Some of my favorites came from just walking the streets and noticing the everyday rhythm of San Francisco. Part of a San Francisco photo series.
Painted Ladies at Alamo Square

In the bright early afternoon, the Painted Ladies stood in full color along the edge of Alamo Square. Their pastel facades and detailed trim caught the sun, while the city skyline rose in the distance behind them. The park was lively, with people stretched out on the grass and others stopping to take photos, yet…
A Walk Among Giants

Visiting Muir Woods, it’s easy to feel small beneath the ancient redwoods. Just forty-five minutes outside San Francisco, it makes for an easy day trip. We arrived early in the morning and enjoyed the forest’s calm before the crowds rolled in. I spent the hours walking the trails, photographing spots where sunlight hit the forest…
Across to Sausalito

While exploring the Bay Area by car, a short lunch stop in Sausalito gave us a quiet moment by the water. Time was short, but I captured a few glimpses of the harbor and hills before we carried on. Part of a San Francisco photo series.
Last Ferry to Alcatraz

There’s something unforgettable about sailing toward Alcatraz at sunset. The ferry left San Francisco, and as the sky behind the Golden Gate turned gold and orange, the bay looked stunning. The calm of the water and the light in the sky made it hard to believe we were headed to a place with such a…
Along the California Street Line

This is the first entry in a short San Francisco photo series, exploring a few stops around the Bay Area coast and city. San Francisco’s iconic cable cars aren’t just a mode of transportation; they’re a moving piece of the city’s history and a symbol of its enduring charm. On a recent trip, I rode…
First Light over The Mother Church, Boston

The Mother Church in Boston, also known as the First Church of Christ, Scientist, glowed softly during the early dawn hours. With nobody around, the plaza and reflecting pool felt completely still, the dome and tower mirrored in the calm water. Capturing the full scene without an ultra-wide lens pushed me to improvise. I shot…

Sunrise at the JFK Library

Chasing sunrise in Boston today, I made my way to the JFK Library, hoping to capture the soft glow of morning over its striking architecture and the surrounding waterfront. I had visited before, but only recently noticed that the library’s layout and harbor setting make it a perfect place to enjoy a peaceful morning—regardless of how the…
Shelf Cloud Over Cohasset Harbor

Shelf cloud rolling into Cohasset Harbor yesterday afternoon as a strong storm passed through the South Shore. I had the opportunity to take my drone up and capture both the harbor and the quiet moments before the storm. From above, the water was still and the boats steady, but the dark line of the cloud…
