Mission StormClick on the main image for a bigger versionAnother attempt to get to the Nativity Scene at the mission a couple of weeks ago, and still no animals. Probably a good thing for them, it was raining like crazy. But I do so hate to come home empty handed! And, I still have not had a chance to develop the film from this evening. This was from my digital camera, but four feet wide just might not be big enough. :-D architecture 49 | California 108 | California Mission 27 | creative lighting 18 | evening 35 | fountain 29 | glow 9 | light 49 | long exposure 9 | Mediterranean architecture 21 | mission 32 | Mission Santa Barbara 22 | panorama 14 | panoramic 14 | Queen of the Missions 21 | rain 13 | Santa Barbara 120 | sunset 75 | tree 47 | wet 4 |

Mission Christmas TreesMerry Christmas!Some of the Christmas decorations at the Mission Santa Barbara. They don't usually do a lot in a flashy way, but I like the Christmas trees. They put them up really early too so you have lots of time to enjoy them! |

Courthouse GlowSometimes its nice to take a closer look at something beautiful. This is a gateway into the Santa Barbara Courthouse. The building as a whole is amazing, but as I am so fond of pointing out I really like the details. There is some incredible craftsmanship there that I don't think you would find very easily today. Perhaps the only thing that will make me stop sounding like my grandfather now (WHYYYY, IN MY DAY... !) is to point out that it was probably pretty rare to EVER find this kind of creativity!(Unless of course, it was actually one of my perfectionist German grandfathers doing it! :-D At least I come by it honestly!) architecture 49 | California 108 | courthouse 18 | door 5 | entrance 2 | entry 1 | evening 35 | gate 4 | gateway 1 | glow 9 | High Dynamic Range Image 15 | lamp 10 | lantern 7 | leaf 41 | light 49 | long exposure 9 | masonry 1 | Mediterranean architecture 21 | Santa Barbara 120 | Santa Barbara Courthouse 18 | Spanish-Mediterranean architecture 17 | stone 4 | stonecutting 1 | tree 47 | wall 3 |

Storke SunsetThis is an older image, from the building I used to work in at UCSB. My office was on the first floor but in the winter I liked to watch the sunset from this spot.architecture 49 | bell tower 3 | creative lighting 18 | glow 9 | light 49 | ocean 62 | Santa Barbara 120 | school 1 | sunset 75 | tower 8 | UCSB 3 | University 2 |

Fisheye Sunset at SavoyI have been preparing more photos from an old shoot for one of my favorite clients. This is a beautiful restaurant on Figueroa Street in Santa Barbara. It is run by a really nice couple who grew up around here. With all of the huge corporations setting their sights on Santa Barbara in recent years it is really nice to see a good local business thrive!They have really nice photos on the walls too! :-D evening 35 | glow 9 | lamp 10 | light 49 | restaurant 7 | Santa Barbara 120 | savoy 5 | Savoy Cafe 5 | Savoy Truffles 5 | shop 1 | sidewalk 2 | store 1 | street 5 | streetlight 6 | sunset 75 | tree 47 |

Canon PerdidoI never really noticed the streetlights around here before I started taking my evening shots of the city. They are actually very interesting and add a lot to the photos. Now I try to get them in the shot whenever I can.If you look closely to the left of the streetlight on the sidewalk you will see a couple of black smudges in the photo. Those were actually people walking on the sidewalk. The exposure was almost long enough for them to disappear completely because of their movement, but not quite. evening 35 | glow 9 | glowing 4 | lamp 10 | light 49 | night 27 | Santa Barbara 120 | street 5 | streetlight 6 |

Shoreline AccessOne of the many beautiful images that are a result of an early morning hound walk during our last trip to Monterey. As I have said before, that was not really my idea of a relaxing trip but the hound sure can sniff out a good photo opportunity!beach 52 | Cannery Row 5 | glow 9 | glowing 4 | light 49 | Monterey 17 | Monterey Bay 1 | morning 6 | night 27 | sunrise 5 | Walkin' the Hound 49 | water 55 |

Frohe Weihnachten! Natale allegro! Merry Christmas!This is an amazing little restaurant where we had a wonderful Christmas dinner today. The first thing that called our attention to this it was the Maitre D'. As we got out of our car the first night we were in Carmel he came over to the wall under the lamp post and howled at Zoe. He was very excited to see her, he explained in a German accent that he had grown up with hounds just like her. He then asked us if we were ready for dinner and told us that he had a patio where Zoe would be welcome.We were not ready for dinner then, but he left a real impression on us. Any place that was that friendly to our hound had to be ok. It was a good assumption, the waiters were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. A perfect Christmas memory! We will be back again for sure! Carmel 16 | Carmel by the Sea 12 | evening 35 | food 20 | glow 9 | glowing 4 | light 49 | Monterey 17 | mushroom 1 | night 27 | Portabella 1 | restaurant 7 |

Savoy NightsThis week I had the enviable task of shooting and designing a new ad for a great restaurant in town. I love this kind of evening shot, and since the primary objective of the ad was to let everyone know they are now open for dinner it seemed the perfect opportunity for some dusk photography.If you would like to see the finished ad, watch for the upcoming issue of Santa Barbara Food & Home or contact me for a sneak preview. architecture 49 | cafe 1 | creative lighting 18 | Dinner 1 | evening 35 | food 20 | glow 9 | glowing 4 | light 49 | night 27 | nighttime 1 | restaurant 7 | Santa Barbara 120 | savoy 5 | Savoy Cafe 5 | Savoy Truffles 5 |
