A lone tree landmark on an old trans-valley trail. It was an ancient Yokuts Indian meeting place, later a location for white stock rodeos. Miller and Lux established their headquarters and store here about 1885. The town of Buttonwillow takes its name from this old tree and rodeo grounds. goo.gl/39V5rz

"Depth" I was lucky enough to work with @socalsummers awhile back and get a lot of photos...and this was when she had a 3rd of the follower she has now. Just yesterday she was featured in an article on Cosmopolitan while shooting with photographers in LA. I am so happy and proud of her and hope to get to work with her again in the not too distant future! Good luck!

"Positivity" I am excited to start sharing this work with everyone! I recently went out with Instagram model @socalsummers and took a number of pictures of her in the snow. If you don't know Summers, she is a body positivity model and photographer (as well as mother of 2) in the high desert area of Northern Nevada. She was awesome enough to meet with me and allow me to be the first photographer to shoot her for her social media as she shoots all her pictures herself currently. We did a number of sets and locations. and this is the first piece that I have to share. I will be letting her share most of the pieces on her page as she sees fit, but I will have some wonderful tidbits here as well. This particular piece is one of my favorites from our first se Please give her a follow and like/comment as she loves to chat with all her followers and fans out there.

"Farmlife" Awhile back we went and visited our dear friend @emilyrobinanna at her farm and took some shots of her lovely goat children. I love shooting animals, even though often times it is hard and they don't cooperate well. Oh well. =) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goldenboyphotographyca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goldenboyphotographyca/ Tumblr: http://goldenboyphotography.tumblr.com/ #goldenboyphotography #goldenboy #goldenboycalifornia #californiaphotography #209photographer #caphotograhper #californiaphotographer #theamazombie #destinationunknown #centralvalley #californiasgold #propertyphotographer #pattersonca #patterson #norcal #socal #stanislauscountyphotographer #animals #animalphotography #goats #farmlife #californialife #goatsofinstagram (at Oakdale, California)

"Warmth" Fences and walls, made of wood, always make for beautiful textures. Wood is so warm and alive, the rain and sun changes it, it never looks the same.

"Rust Stains" #SanFrancisco series continues here in "Old Town." There is something about high contrast rust that leads to nothing but amazing pictures. I love old colors, the fade and mix, and the old signs of industry.
