Here’s a pic I shot last week in La Jolla:

Walking across America

I’m a sucker for videos like this:

Robbie McEwen

Even if you don’t like cycling, you have to like this portrait of Robbie McEwen. He says it’s one of the best pictures taken of him.  It seems to capture the heart of a sprinter—a bit hot headed, competitive, and yet fun.  This photo is part of a series of portraits of cyclists taken just after a race. All of the portraits are really good.  Obviously these guys had just had a tough day.    

Hell on Earth

Not Ansel Adams favorite pictures

Ansel Adams took a lot more photos than we showed the world. A guy named Gerard Van der Leun happened to stumble across some of them in the Los Angeles Public Library. Here’s one that I liked:

Fantastic pictures from Glacier National Park

On a whim, my sister and I once decided to go on a road trip from Utah to Glacier National Park and to Banff. It was a spur of the moment decision and I have never regretted it. Both Glacier and Baniff are gorgeous and these two pictures beyond from Glacier show you why.  The Big Picture has some great snaps from Glacier. These pictures were part of project by the editor of Glacier National Park Magazine. His blog with 100 of the best pictures he shot in Glacier this year is here.
