Mt Hood is one of the most majestic mountains I’ve ever seen. Like other mountains Mt Hood likes to make it’s own weather and it can be difficult to get a good view of the peak. Despite what it looks like, there is less snow and ice on the top than anyone can remember. SMB-Photo.com
In photography it is as important as what is what is not seen. Sometimes, it is more important what is not. This image is an allegory of what is photography, a game of mirrors, a lie within a lie.

Pismo Beach, CaliforniaI must admit I left my husband at the dinner table to run out and capture the sun’s last hurrah as it set over the Pacific Ocean. (No worries – I did have his blessing.) Alas, the sun moved more quickly than I did, and without many clouds in the sky there wasn’t a great deal of color, but I thought the scene worked beautifully in black and white. Hope you agree!

I absolutely love visiting this waterfall despite the crowds. You can actually see the falls from the interstate so everyone stops. Despite that it’s one of the most beautiful and iconic sights in Oregon. There is beauty out there right under your nose every day. Don’t forget to stop and smell the waterfalls. SMB-Photo.com

I had a two week vacation in Hawaii this summer. I remember cliff jumping in Kona last time I was there so I went back to the same place to see if I could get some good shots of the locals. In typical island style the locals were all really nice to me, especially when they realized that I would send the pics that I took. I’ve always been a sucker for silhouettes so when the sun started to set I was able to get some great shots. This almost looks like three shots stitched together but it’s actually three different guys getting ready to jump. You can see more of my shots from Hawaii over on SMB-Photo.com.
It’s rare that you get a moment without people everywhere at Lahaina Banyan Court Park. Getting up early does have some perks. The tree was planted in 1873. The banyan tree is the largest in Hawaii and one of the largest banyan trees in the U.S. It’s aerial root system covers 0.66 acres.

It is not one of the most magical places, but one of the most beautiful places, it is my homeland.
