  • Switzer Falls Hike

    I drove up to just north of Glendale to the San Gabriel mountains to do a very lovely hike to Switzer Falls. My legs are a bit shot, and my toes hurt, but it was still a very nice hike. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the lens I thought I had on my camera. I just…

I’m not as familiar with photographers as I’d like to be, but after seeing his image Chaos Cup I definitely want to go check this show out. And, if anybody knows of other photographers that are doing work similar to that, please let…
