Along with hiking, I enjoy landscape iPhone photography and videography during my day trips out of down. Read about my and experiences in this section.
Floating on the Wind
Ed Levin County Park provided many views, not always on the ground. Paragliders and sweeping Bay Area views made this a memorable hike.
Spring Greets the Northern Redwoods
The first decently-warm weather of the season drew me to a redwoods preserve just south of San Francisco, within sight of the Pacific Ocean.

After weeks of rain, I took a through a city park that was decidedly un-urban. I brought a GoPro camera, with mixed results.

The weather gave me more than I expected when I took my new wide-angle lens to photograph some of the largest trees in the world.
