Slice of Life
Had a few minutes to burn before the next assignment last Friday (Feb. 17) and ran across this scene out in Two Rock Valley of kids doing what they do best, having fun. -Kent Porter
18 with Tiger, snagged duds and poison oak
Tiger Woods came back to AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am for the first time in a decade this past week. As I write, Phil Mickelson saw an opening after third round leader Charlie Wi kicked around a few golf balls and Mickelson stormed ahead (much like Woods used to do) [...]
It’s all about the light
Had to get up before the sun today to photograph skiers heading to the Sierras for the day on a bus. You can read about it in the Sunday Press Democrat. Tacked on to the assignment was the Santa Rosa Farmers Market at the Vets building in SR, which invariably [...]

Save for a couple of instances, [...]
Full Moon-Set 2012

Working with the light
Sometimes I'll arrive at an assignment and the light will be perfect, sometimes the opposite. Last week I covered a house fire near Healdsburg. The light was fading fairly quickly and the front of the home was in shade. The fire, devastating to the occupants of the home, stayed mostly [...]
