My wife, Rita Hurault, and I are doing a joint photo show at the Nomad Cafe in Oakland the entire month of January. We’re calling it Water Textures – all my images were shot on the north shore of Kaua’i last May, and Rita’s were taken on various camping trips to the Sierra over the last several years.

Here is the Nomad’s web page on the show.
