LA Fire Print

Just finished printing of one of my favorite photos, "LA Fire."

This image was featured on two hit television shows, "The Closer" and "Major Crimes." It was shot as I attempted to drive down Topanga Blvd during a Santa Ana wind driven brush fire back in October 2008.
I quickly realized that I wouldn't make it through due to heavy sideways blowing flame, so I reversed my car stopping for a brief moment to shoot this image through my front windshield.

The final image is printed at a giant 60"x40" inches, and was produced and printed by the print masters of A&I Photo in North Hollywood, CA. It's definitely a statement piece. Only 10 prints will be produced for sale.

Contact me via email or IM if interested in purchasing one of these impressive prints.

Sand Fires Last Gasp

Firefighters and nature combine to end the brutal Sand Fire in Santa Clarita. The final back fires were set and nature added higher humidity to quash the last of the disastrous fire. The fire burned over 38,500 acres of land.
Here are some images from the Soledad Canyon area.

Duarte Fires

The Fish Fire and Reservoir Fire in Duarte converged today.
117 degree temperatures made it difficult for fire fighters and local residents to deal with the fires which still are burning out of control in the hills above Duarte, CA.

CalFire Plane Downed

A CalFire Grunman S-2T Type III airtanker went down today fighting the 130 acre Dog Rock fire in Yosemite's back country.
No word yet if the lone pilot survived the wreck. The CalFire firefighting pilots are the best of the best. They often fly so close to the terrain to drop their retardants, you can see them inside the cockpit. They are among the bravest pilots I have witnessed, and fly in the most treacherous of conditions equal to any wartime pilot.
The Grunman can accurately drop 1200 gallons of retardant on a wild fire, and are often the first defense called in.
This image was shot at the Colby fire in Glendora last January 16, 2014.
