TRAVEL: New York City still photo magnet in Winter, even with 10 degree weather
I recently returned from New York City, where my iPhone told me that it was 10 degrees outside, but that it actually would feel like it was 5 degrees. Brrr! As a longtime Californian who grew up in New York City a long time ago, trust me, this was a shock to the system. But […]

TRAVEL: Barcelona is crowded, but don’t let that stop you
You may have heard that locals in Barcelona, one of the world’s most beautiful and visited cities, protested recently with squirt guns, chanting “Tourist Go Home,” complaining that they were ruining their city.

TRAVEL: Bozeman’s Big Skies, Scenic Beauty & Photowalk

The latest from PhotowalksTV: a short 90 minute drive from the Bubble (on a good day) or 2 hours or so, brings us to the cute North San Diego beach town of Oceanside. Like Manhattan Beach, Hermosa and Redondo, it also has a classic pier (way longer though, one of the longest in the state) […]
Return to Venice Beach Again, it’s been cleaned up
Nearby Venice Beach has always been a fun, funky place to visit, but in recent years, it’s been over-populated by so many homeless encampments that many people preferred to stay away. But as I discovered on a recent visit, to film the latest episode of PhotowalksTV, Venice has been cleaned up. There are still a […]

The art of photographing Manhattan Beach
How can you not fall in love with Manhattan Beach? I’ve been photographing her for over 25 years, since moving here in 1996, and let’s face it, there’s not a bad angle down by the beach, whether that be early morning, mid-day, sunset, from the left, right or above. For my YouTube Photowalks travel photography […]
