Atmospheric Optics

Sequoia Park

One of my obsessions is to photograph rays of light. The sun shines through the trees here in a special way, filtered through the high canopies it pierces the earth below like a searchlight.

As the daylight wanes, Trinidad Head's tunnel-passage always begets remarkable displays of light amidst the thorny brambles.

Columns of sunlit air contrast the shadowed regions
in a magnificent display of crepuscular rays .

Eric Estling, my adorable and patient lover, stands idly by while I play with the sunbeams on my camera screen, making him appear ethereal.
