Los Angeles Inversion
Los Angeles Inversion – Downtown Los Angeles, California, USA
“Los Angeles Inversion” was captured from above the marine layer at the Griffith Park Observatory across eight miles of fog covering everything other than the highest towers in Downtown Los Angeles. The building with the needle is LA’s new landmark tower Wilshire Grand, the tallest building west of Chicago.

Soda Lake – Carrizo Plain National Monument
Soda Lake in Spring – Carrizo Plain National Monument, April 1, 2017
The majority of California’s lakes are man made, but there are a few natural and amazingly surreal exceptions. Mono Lake with its salt water and strange limestone tufa jutting from the water comes to mind, and then there is Soda Lake (pictured above) which is also saline. No where else have I seen such intensely azure blue water ringed with stunningly white shores…and those are not rocks out there. They are giant tumbleweed. If you stand next to one they are about chest high.

Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
