and on the trail to Sonoma Creek Falls.
The wetness accentuated the colors and the red/green contrast. This is the point in the year when the moss is the most lush & vibrant. Also the contrast between the smoothness of the madrones and the shaggy moss was a delight.

Another image from the same place (Click on the image)
I started photographing when I was 14, taking slides with an early Pentax 35mm. I took a photography class at 16 and began using a 4×5 view camera with my own darkroom. In 2002 digital emerged which envigorated my passion in the visual arts. In the last 5-6 years I’ve started documenting and developing a visual framework to cultivate “seeing” that can be shared with others on their path of becoming visual artists.
