Big Pixel Pusher

Welcome

to my personal blog. Here I post examples of my photography and writing. I specialize in making unique and highly detailed photographs. Notice I said making and not taking. Yes I take photos but a lot of time and work is involved in pushing and punishing the pixels in my images to achieve the look I like.

Please feel free make comments about any of my words or photos. I enjoy constructive critiques, learning about locations to shoot or photography techniques. Click on the "Share Article" link to share any of my photos via Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Want to use one of my posts in your own blog? No problem, but please make sure it links back to the original post here and do the right thing and give me credit. Don't copy my words, crop the images, remove the watermarks or claim my work as your own. This has happened more times than I can count so I've had to report copyright violations to ISP's and regrettably the violators blog is usually taken down.

Can't we all just get along?

Colby / Glendale Fire Panorama

California,

Panorama,

Pasadena

I arrive at work before daybreak each morning so I usually make a point of checking to see if the sunrise is going to be a pretty one. On this day as I approached a window near my office, I could see a red glow coloring all of the cubicles that are adjacent to it so I expected something spectacular. This is what I saw. The Colby fire as it is being called is still burning as I write this. It has caused a lot of damage and it was apparently set by 3 idiots. The smoke was so bad on Friday that I had to leave Pasadena and work from home. I'm hoping the air quality will be better tomorrow.
