Fine Art Photographer
I have been asked over and over again about where folks can get a print of my photograph of the iconic Bakersfield sign. Well, I now have it up on my etsy store… you can find it there!

I took a drive up the Kern River Canyon this morning, then looped around Lake Isabella, through Kernville, into Wofford Heights, over Alta Sierra and then back around through Glenville before returning home. I shot some film, yet to be developed, and some digital shots along the way. Here are the highlights…
A long exposure of the water tumbling over rocks on the Kern river.
Another view, long exposure of water and rocks. Near the mouth of the canyon, Kern river.
