This photo sums up much of what I love about photography.  There are so many moments like this throughout each day, but it is difficult to capture one that tells such a deep story.  This photo is of my friend Noah and his son.  I was walking along behind them at Disneyland and when Noah started to lift him up, I grabbed my camera and fired off two shots, capturing the expression and laughter of a father and son enjoying their day.  It probably took half of a second to pick him and over his head and bring him down again.  But a photo can preserve that fraction of time forever.

This week I accompanied a new class of recruits from work to the Chevron oil refinery in El Segundo for some propane fire training.  As the propane is being expelled from the valves to create the fire scenarios, the gas forms a big propane ice block that will continue to burn.  Pretty awesome to see burning ice.  So when the instructor broke some off and carried it out to show everyone, I caught this shot of him coming through the water and the pipes.

There’s a field in Sonoma that has all of these beautiful Clydesdale horses.  I’ve passed by it a number of times and even stopped to take photos before.  But I happened to catch it right as the sun was going down, in that perfect golden time.  The bird flying through the background wasn’t intentional but it definitely added to overall feeling of the moment.  When I look at this image, it takes me right back to the moment when I captured it.
