Photogs here at the PD document life with images. It’s a challenge day in and day out.
This past year, I’ve documented the water levels at Lake’s Mendocino and Sonoma.
It’s amazing to see reservoirs fill up so fast. Especially after reporter Bob Norberg wrote about both reservoirs being at 10 year lows for the date on January 7, 2010.

I travel around quite a bit. One day I may be in the City, the next I could be in Ferndale or Clearlake or Sacramento or Phoenix….It’s an adventure to say the least.
