How quickly this summer has passed! I took the shot above exactly one year ago while hiking the John Muir trail. We ended up at Yosemite Valley on Labor Day with this view of Half Dome (to see other images in my portfolio click here.)

I didn’t know then that I would return to shoot the video in this amazing place with Ansel Adams’ son, Michael. If you haven’t seen that yet, click here.

On that note, we have surprises awaiting you when we roll out our first season of photoCycle.

Save The Date: Atherton Artists Show

If you’re in the Bay Area, stop by and see my work at the Atherton Artist show, Friday Sept 19, reception 4-7:30 PM, Jenkins Pavilion, Holbrook Palmer Park, 150 Watkins Ave, Atherton.

Several months ago I was in San Francisco, had done a couple speeches and panels, been tweeting and more. The weekend finally arrived and I was beat, so I thought I would catch up with friends who I had not seen in several years, and offline I went.

They decided to treat me to a trip to Yosemite to shoot photographs. Returning to Austin and sitting in an airport, I resumed the tweeting and online connections and conversations routine, only to find out from Robert Scoble that if I had been online I could have joined him, Ansel Adam’s son and Marc Silber to “photowalk” Yosemite. DAMN! I am still kicking myself.

But as a sweet little “make up” for that miss, and through the power of the online network and Facebook, I recently had the privilege to meet and connect with Marc Silber.

Marc is a true artist and I have come to love his work … as I say he does “fine art photography” and in my mind he is a “fine art photographer.”
