These changes come as I gear up coverage on my trip to Copenhagen.

Thanks for following!

The time I get with someone in a big bustling city like San Francisco is always so fleeting. So find someone you care about and never let them go.

What's beautiful can be dying, too.

My time on this planet is relatively short.

I went to Sonoma Valley mostly for the wine. But I captured my first turtle and dragonfly. I have yet to catch a hummingbird!

Someone should make a video on the research and development of public urinals. It'd be fascinating to see why some designs work while others fail. Love to see the pissing stats!!

A selection of roses found in Sonoma Valley 45 minutes from San Francisco, California.

A male flame skimmer (Libellula saturata) usually feeds on moths, flies, ants, or any other soft-bodied insect while waiting perched on a thick blade of grass, twig, rock or while flying through the air.

Dragonflies symbolize change and change in the perspective of self-realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life, according to The Internets.

Captured in Sonoma Valley about 45 minutes from San Francisco, California.

I instantly fell in love with this found object on Brady Street in San Francisco, California today, untouched - I call it "Cashmere Sweater and Saggy Titties".

I hiked up Twin Peaks to photograph goats after Hoodline published a story claiming goats were at the bottom of Sutro Tower, eating dried grass to prevent fire. There were no goats only goat poop! Several dog-walkers said the goats left a week ago. So these are the summer flowers I found on my unsuccessful journey to locate roaming goats in San Francisco.

It seems the majority of people who go to Powerhouse use the smoking patio; it's a long, narrow space crowded with guys getting head and taking it up the butt.

Shot on film with a Mamiya 6 MF.

The following photos were taken on a vintage film camera. Each shot contains genuine character without being fixed by a computer algorithm. Life in film: The dust! The lint! The defects! Like Schubert playing the piano:

Is the innocence of Eden gone?

If so, does it have to be?

Did you know female rattlesnakes secrete small amount of sex pheromones, which leave a trail for the males to follow? Once a receptive female is found, the male often spends several days stalking her, going to her work, sending her flowers, frequently touching and rubbing her in an attempt to stimulate her. Like a good sperm bank, females can store semen for months with internal recesses known as spermathecae.

Captured in the Stanislaus National Forest about a 2-3 hour drive from San Francisco, California.

The most important thing about taking naughty photos in public spaces is to not get caught!

Vanessa atalanta or the red admiral, previously known as the red admirable, is well-characterized as being territorial. Females will not sleep with their male counterparts unless they prove themselves able to hold territory with superior flying capabilities. Imagine the bedroom chatter: You must fly for me and claim land or no sex!!

Captured in the Castro on Market Street in San Francisco, California.
