Last year this time I was exploring Switzerland at the peak of fall color. No matter the location seeing nature transform during Autumn is a magical experience. What made my experience in this one location so special was being able to fill my senses with the scene. Hearing the water rush by, feeling the light rain against my face and smelling the crisp fresh air made exploring the scene with my camera all the more me

One of my favorite photographic subjects is Mobius Arch in the Alabama Hills. Until now my favorite photo of this landscape icon, Mount Whitney Pre-Dawn Arch View, was taken early in the morning before first light. Listen hear on how it was taken – EXIF and Beyond: Mobius Arch. During my latest trip to this area I decided to explore photographic opportunities of Mobius Arch at a more extreme hour of the dayR

The dynamic moving nature of the world around us is something that I’ve always been fascinated to study, view and photograph. I’ve been putting together a collection of limited edition fine art photography in relation to this theme for sometime. It’s a constant work in progress, but I’ll be putting out a few images from my efforts in this area in the coming week. The first to be released is th

Last year Guy Tal was an amazing host when we met in his home away from home Torrey, Utah.

This photo of Sinopah Mountain Reflected in Two Medicine Lake epitomizes the “take your camera back out” moment. While this photo was taken with in the window of the “Golden Hour”, Mother Nature had one last surprise for me… after I put my camera equipment away of course. Before this photo was taken clouds had moved in quickly behind me obscuring the rising sun turning the landscape grey

Point Lobos State Reserve is truly one of the gems of the California State Park system.  I credit Art Wolfe with piquing my interest in this particular reserve. The rugged beauty of this area is a feast for the eyes and one of the premiere locations for nature photographers to visit. The trails are well kept, easy to hike and is one of the few areas where coastal wildlife is abundant. Before and/or shortly after my S

Scale and perspective are fascinating components of photography. They can be used to create optical illusions, disorient a photographer through abstraction and create visual impact.  Are the flowers in the following photo the size of a coffee cup or of a thimble? In this instance the clusters of flowers are smaller than a thimble.  These alpine flowers photographed high atop a mountain near Two Medicine, Glacier Nati

Sloths are one of the oddest creatures I’ve encountered, but they always have a smile on their face. While their smile is easy to take note of, if you look closer you’ll find their fur is green from algae and is home to its own ecosystem of insects. This mobile ecosystem develops as sloths move so slowly. In this photo you can see the green in the fur of the adult sloth, but the baby looks quite brown. [t
