Street View
You can see the whole universe in the streets of Bakersfield.
Details from Downtown
Some street and abstract shots from my time wandering downtown this morning. Great light this morning…
Old corrugated sheet metal and a bit of weathered wood. Found in an alley.
Wooden doors. Near 21st street and Q.
Beautiful weathered surfaces, deep shadows and bright light.
A little bit of corrugated heaven.

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.
Light through the trees, on the old road in the Kern River Canyon.
Near Kernville. Reflections of the skies above the Kern River Valley.
Ranchland near Kernville, looking east.
Below Alta Sierra, thunderheads forming…
