This picture was taken in Malibu Canyon in 1988 with a Ricoh analog 35mm SLR camera. I had scraped together every last penny for this camera to make sure I could capture all my adventures before I came to the US. I still have this camera! I got the best pictures by using Fuji film 100 ISO with it. I have a 8×12 inch print of this Malibu Canyon shot and scanned it at 600dpi. The result is an image file with over 7100×4700 pixels!

Towsley Canyon – Santa Susana Mountains
The Bavarian Alps 1963
Found these pictures my dad took in 1963 while hiking in the Bavarian Alps. I guess we have a few things in common 🙂
Towsley Canyon Path
The paths and flowers in Towsley Canyon make for a serene and idyllic experience. It changes so much throughout the year, but it is always beautiful! This picture was taken in the Spring.
Bodensee von Oben – Lake Constance from Above
This is the “Bodensee von oben” or Lake Constance from above with the Alps in the background. I love taking pictures from an airplane, even though you have a window in front of your lens and there are usually clouds or haze. The Bodensee, which borders Germany, Switzerland and Austria, is one of the cleanest and well kept lakes I’ve seen, despite the fact that boating is allowed. Rules and enforcement are very strict.
Lone Tree
One of my favorite spots from my childhood: a lone tree atop a hill with a small farm beyond where my two brothers and I used to get milk fresh from the cow. Who remembers what that tastes like? What I remember is that it was so good that it was usually gone by the time we got home 🙂
Towsley Canyon Views
Sometimes it’s an ocean of flowers, sometimes it looks like it’s covered in green mossy softness, but on this day it looked like a martian landscape…
