Almost a year ago I was exploring south central Utah with Guy Tal and we happened to have an opportunity to photograph lightning at the end of a very productive day in the field.  While we took up different positions it would seem we captured the same lighting strike at almost the exact same instant.  Take a look for yourself as his photo is included in a very well written article on Photographing Lightning.

  I’m in pre-trip cramming mode and a Fall Color photo is what the doctor ordered. While I ramp up to photograph spring landscapes I like to remember how drastically the landscape can transform. This particular landscape was taken near Interlaken, Switzerland where the range of color in the forest during Autumn is simply amazing. With fall color in mind I look forward to escaping the new golden hills of Norther

Going through an older set of images I came across this photo of Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park. This was taken from the tunnel lookout off Highway 41 as you enter Yosemite valley just as a hint of sun made its way through the clouds of a disintegrating storm. Usually I’m never short of words when it comes to photographs, but I can’t really say why I like this. Perhaps its the lighting and mute

While visiting Switzerland last Fall I was happy to have arrived in Interlaken during peak Fall color. The forests of Switzerland combined with the majestic snow covered mountains were a sight to see. Fortunately for me and perhaps you, my camera was never far from reach. Thanks to nature’s wide variety of Fall color even the most common activities, such as a train crossing a bridge, was transformed into someth

To most this will seem to be a rather ordinary photo, but for those familiar with the Farallon Islands you’ll find this photo amazing… and no this wasn’t the result of Photoshop wizardry. The Farallones are 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco and normally cannot be seen as they’re often concealed behind a shroud of fog. In addition when you do see them they’re specks on the horizon.

Now that California is getting some much needed rain and snow I’m excited to see how this Spring turns out. More immediately I’m eager to find the time to make my way back to Yosemite valley while snowy conditions are still around. It seems I can never get enough of photographing Yosemite National Park. I suppose there is nothing surprising about that. Speaking of surprises… Bridalveil Fall After A

One of the more interesting locations to get an alternate perspective on Yosemite National Park’s iconic Half Dome is Olmsted point. While Half Dome is always amazing to see anytime of the day, sunsets from Olmstead point can be particularly magical. Back in 2007 when I took this photo forest fires had ravaged surrounding areas to Yosemite and were still burning. Air quality was awful, but the smoke combined wi

While mathematics can explain our natural world with complex formulas, the basic principles of geometry can shine through from time to time. Of all my mathematical studies I found geometry the most interesting as it always had an artistic aspect to it that caught my eye. Of course later I found out how literal that interpretation would be as I learned about the Golden Ratio. While hiking through the Marin Headlands I
