We went on a camping trip in the Santa Cruz mountains a few weekends back. The place we visited is called Memorial County Park. It has great camp sites of which many are covered by majestic redwood trees. I can definitively recommend it for either a day visit or a camping adventure with your family or friends.

A Sense of Soleness.

When Google+ got started I joined very early on and it has been a great experience so far. So far I mostly use it for photography related content and it definitively has helped to increase my shooting activity level. Just last Thursday there was another photo walk set up by Thomas Hawk and Google+. Thomas posted a write-up of the event.

This is the last photo from my recent visit to Stanford University I want to share.

No-bo-dies.

This is my second photo I made during the “massive photo walk” I attended last week at Stanford University.

I attended a massive photo walk set up by Trey Ratcliff, Thomas Hawk and a couple of Google+ folks such as Brian Rose in Stanford last week. I have participated in a few of those walks in the past but none of them had turnout like this. Not even close. So I think it is justified calling it “massive” - just because of the sheer number of attendees. By one count there were 183 photo walkers.

As you can imagine it was rather busy at the beginning. Every interesting subject was surrounded by numerous photographers. So I quickly decided to walk off in a different direction and after some time I hardly saw any other photographers any more. For the last 90 minutes or so I was completely by my own. I probably missed many opportunities meeting interesting and talented other local photographers though. 

One more shot from a recent architectural excursion to downtown San Jose about a month ago.

I recently was flying out from the relatively new (at least to me) Terminal B of the San Jose airport. The architecture is quite intriguing and I was glad having a few minutes available to make some quick shots before boarding started. After my return I found a few photos I am quite happy with. This is one of them.
