My photography is centered on the landscapes of coastal Sonoma, Mendocino and Marin Counties, California. My goal is to capture a sense the beauty, serenity and wonderful light that we enjoy on the edge of the continent, away from urban congestion. Living full-time at The Sea Ranch, on the northern coast of Sonoma County, I have an opportunity to watch the daily and seasonal rhythms of the light, land and ocean, and I endeavor to impart a true sense of this place in my images. One could spend a lifetime photographing this area and still have a long list of places yet to visit or re-visit.
Gallery One contains some of my favorite images from the North Coast of California. I hope you will enjoy looking through the gallery.
I plan to use the weblog to announce updates such as posting of new images. Too, I hope to periodically share some of what I have learned about photography via the blog. If you would like to be notified of postings, please subscribe to my RSS feed by going to the Contact page and clicking on the link.

Great updated website. Thanks for sharing. I also saw your entries in the May show at GAC. Wonderful work.
Frank, your work is simply beautiful. Whatever you do, you do it first class. Thanks for sharing. Indeed, well done! Thanks. Q Houshmand
Nice site and images, Frank! You have spent some quality time at the coast and along the coastal regions of our lovely state – and the images evoke a nice mood and feeling of the places you have visited. Keep ‘em coming!
Frank, it’s a great to see your new art work!
I have been fine and busy at Cisco, we miss you so much, why don’t you come back to Cisco?
I guess you have had nice relax days enough, haven’t you?
Anyway next time I fly to visit SJ, I will contact you. Keep in touch!
Your photos are supurb! I have forwarded your address to my grandson who is wildly interested in becoming a good photographer. He wants to visit us here to photograph our coast and I hope your website will give him inspiration to come and try his hand! Thanks, John
John — There certainly is no shortage of interesting material for photography. Please do encourage your grandson. Even the upcoming fog season can be interesting when the fog comes to ground level (rather than a low overcast). Come to think of it, even low overcast makes new opportunities to go into the forest and try to capture the redwoods. Every time I think I’m running out of material here, I just have to think a bit and I pretty quickly fill up a sheet of paper with more ideas for images. Frank
