Leanne next to one of the Redwoods
1903 1920 Liberty Thermionics

The redwood groves up in the Redwood National Park are even more impressive than the ones around San Francisco. This one was one of the larger ones that we saw that day, right along the banks of the Eel River.

Stream – Redwood National Forest
1891 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I started reading the biography of Eadweard Muybridge more than a year ago. Since then i’ve been trying to shoot more waterfalls and running water and the like – trying to make pictures look like the way they used to (without the boiling mercury and all that). See… Muybridge was the man who made it possible to take pictures that…

Birch Trees – Redwood National Park
1900 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Sorry for the long delay – i’m just getting through a (relative) truck-load of film from the past few weekends. At the end of march we ventured up north to Eureka, CA (and Arcata, Crescent City and various points in between). After getting off of the highway to go check out an Indian Casino (it’s a small warehouse, once inside…

Marin Headlands – Point Bonita Lighthouse
1904 1920 Liberty Thermionics

One of my favorite places in the Bay Area is the Marin Headlands. Just a couple of miles North of San Francisco you’re immediately taken to a large relatively undeveloped place. There are some roads, small buildings and hiking trails (along with a pseudo-undercover missle base and old WWII cannon forts, but that’s all for another time). At what’s probably…

Bixby Bridge – Rt 1
1903 1920 Liberty Thermionics

At the Bixby Bridge – about 1/4 mile north from where we stopped and were overtaken by fog – everything was clear. I took the opportunity to climb down the ridge a little bit and explore the hillside. Aside from being covered in tourist trash (cigarette boxes and dorrito bags) it’s pretty cool. I think with a little more time…

Pacific Coast Highway
1920 1917 Liberty Thermionics

Another in a series of captures from the California coast 2 weekends ago. If i remember correctly we’d stopped an hour or two before in SLO at at a fantastic barbecue place we stumbled upon right down the road from the house of junk. Returning to San Francisco from the coast it’s such a foreign place, and to make things…

Down along Route 1 – Just North of Big Sur
1904 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I’m not done with my Joshua Tree stuff yet, i just had to change subjects for a day or so so i can catch up with my scanning. On the way back up the coast on Sunday we stopped for a few minutes at an overlook to Bixby Bridge right as the sun was setting and the fog was blowing…

Joshua Tree
1904 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Everything is so barren, but at the same time it’s hard to find a place without more joshua trees in the background. I didn’t see too many of them but there are these small chipmunk/squirrel creatures running around in the desert. (I just looked them up and the internet claims that they’re “California Chipmunks”) Everywhere i walked were holes that…

Joshua Tree Cactus
1920 1912 Liberty Thermionics

At one end of Joshua Tree the landscape is covered by Joshua Trees. The other end has hardly any Joshua Trees at all and cactus and other desert brush cover the endless expanse of sand. There wasn’t much rain this year so the blossoms weren’t as prevalent as they have been in years past. I stumbled upon an area that…

Joshua Tree National Park
1911 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I managed to make a visit to Joshua Tree National Park this past week. The sun was bright and the atmosphere thin which is what i’m going to blame the slight overexposure on. (that or the dehydration and threat of leaping scorpions). I’ve got a bunch of stuff from the past week coming up – Joshua Tree, Los Angeles and…
