Edge of the World

July 31, 2015 By JoelSax

May 1, 2015. I have been experimenting with a set of graduated filters. Here I used a blue one to bring out the sky more clearly.

My love is a red, red rose

July 29, 2015 By JoelSax

May 11, 2015. I am not ashamed that I do Instagram. Someone gave us a rose, so I set up this still life.

Silvia Adobe

April 25, 2015. This small, historic structure is a few blocks from Mission San Juan Capistrano. It seems to be a favorite place for high school yearbook and wedding photos.

Redscale Sunset

July 24, 2015 By JoelSax

April 18, 2015. This is cheating, of course, and about the only way I am going to get a sunset out of a black and white film. I used an eight-point star filter and redscale film to generate the effect. I hate this cell phone tower. Getting around it requires some acrobatics. Here, I just […]

The Saddleback

Sycamores at Lago Santa Margarita

July 20, 2015 By JoelSax

May 5, 2015. The north end of the lake is perhaps my favorite. There is a grove of sycamores, an amphitheater, and a rocky point where fishermen like to hang out. I haven’t photographed all of these features, but I have plenty of years ahead of me to catch up.

Reflections on the Lago

July 17, 2015 By JoelSax

May 5, 2015. The Lago Santa Margarita is a place where I like to go to enjoy a walk. I usually use my cell phone to capture what I see there.

Getting Ready for the Big Trip

July 16, 2015 By JoelSax

We’re going to Senegal in October with stops in London and Paris on the way over. It will be an eight to nine hour time difference from my home in Orange County. I’m in the process of choosing a set of cameras to bring with me. My Nikon D70 with a 32 GB SD card […]
