Lovin’ the Photos Memories: Gold Beach @Myers Creek

Here’s another Photos memory Apple’s AI created from some of my iPhone photos and video. It just picks these and puts this all together and then shares it with me on my phone. I still find it amazing! This video features scenes of the ocean here around Meyers Creek1 along the southern Oregon coast. https://photos.smugmug.com/IPhoneography/IPhone-Memories/i-HDZ2hNg/0/39e6accb/1280/2021101412490549-6053879475786295023-Gold%20Beach%20-%20Aug%2017%2C%202020-1280.mp4 For the growing collection of… Continue reading

After the Storm

I love weather! We just had a storm system, which the weather forecasts referred to as an “atmospheric river,” blow in from the ocean over the past two days.

At the Shore over the Years

I’ve really grown to love the short movie memories Photos artificial intelligence creates from the tens of thousands of photos I’ve shot on my iPhones through the years.

The algorithms do a surprisingly good job of picking… Continue reading

Mid-century Classic Architecture

When we moved to Sausalito, California, I came to realize my intense love affair with mid-century classic architecture. I had always had it, but it was somehow hidden from my conscious awareness. We bought a mid-century classic, originally built in the 1950’s, that had been taken down to the studs and a significant amount of living space was added in… Continue reading

Serenity Expedition Now in Progress…

hat’s the best thing to do when you’re totally stressed out? Exactly! Go shoot something. And that’s exactly what I did! The fog was crazy; so, I grabbed my new Canon 5D Mark IV and headed for the hills—literally. I’m still very much learning the nature of this camera. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m in shock over it’s low light… Continue reading

Bitten By Bodega Bay Bug

We spent this weekend up at Bodega Bay. I’ve always thought Bodega Bay was a nice place, but on this trip we found Bodega Head. It’s gorgeous! A mini headlands that is every bit as dramatic! Now, as a result, I’m way into Bodega Bay: headlands with gorgeous hiking trails, whale watching, a lovely calm bay, a thriving fishing industry… Continue reading
