The historic red barn at Point Reyes National Seashore. Originally it was a hay barn built circa 1870, and remodeled in 1944. It is part of the “W” or “Bear Valley Ranch.” The Red Barn retains its size and shape and much of what appears to be the original interior framing. The siding and roof were replaced and a concrete foundation built under the barn. It was unpainted at the turn of the century, and from about 1920 to the 1950s it was painted white. By the time the park purchased Bear Valley Ranch in 1964, the barn had been painted red.

Photography to me is the method in which I reflect my current environment most effectively. It is ever changing so I am forever adapting and interpreting. I am as comfortable capturing the environment of nature and the outdoors of the great American West as I am the architecture and street life of a big city like San Francisco. Color or black and white photography are just the mediums my instincts dictate in any given moment. The ability to adapt and reflect equally in any environment through my camera lens is a gift, an instinct I cannot effectively explain. It just is and occurs the moment I transfer my vision into a photographic image. New Mexico based photographer 11 years, California native. © All photos by me. Nikon D200, D7500,...
