And another summer comes to end…. Tonight I broke down my booth at the Art-A-Fair in Laguna. I can’t believe it has been 3 years since I was first accepted into that show, a bit scary how fast time flies. However, as one door closes another one opens….. In the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, myself along with 8 friends will be making our first trek to Burning Man. 8 days in the desert transcending time and space as we now it!

But before I leave on that journey I thought I had better leave you guys with the September wallpaper and some other shots from the recent swell and beautiful weather we’ve had.

Here’s the wallpaper… Just click on the small image and it will take you to the full size image that you can download. This is an image from my recent trip to Kauai, if anyone is wondering it’s also the picture that I am using as my wallpaper.

We’ve also been thrown some great sunsets lately from the man himself, Ra the Sun god. Here is last friday night in South Laguna.

Request From a Reader….

August 12, 2009

I recently had a request from a long term reader of this blog who do to work obligations is far far from the ocean. They have requested some more shots from my recent trip to Kauai so hopefully these will hold them over while I continue to edit the wedding images.

The first is from the North Shore of Kauai and the second is of quite possibly the most relaxed animal in the world…. the Kauaian Monk Seal. The species of seal feeds on fish and when full they beach themselves to sleep and soak up the sun the majority of the day…. my kinda life!!!

August Wallpaper & Hawaii

August 2, 2009

I’m going to try and start offering downloadable wallpapers around the first of the month of some of my latest images. So to kick off this new endeavor here is a classic sunset shot from South Laguna taken last week…

On top of that tomorrow I leave for a week of photographing in Kauai. I’ll be shooting a good friends wedding but am going to make sure I get out and create some shots of the islands so check back soon to see those!
