One thing is certain, wildlife encounters invigorate the soul. Witnessing wildlife in it’s natural environment is nothing short of awe inspiring. During my last day in Yosemite this weekend I was lucky enough to encounter a Bobcat walking through snow filled meadows and light brush. This was but one of many photographs from that encounter.

This weekend in Yosemite proved to be quite a bit of fun. Fresh snow was not on tap, but the heavy snow from last weekend had the park buried. Road work was still underway along the northern loop of the roadway through the valley. This was a minor inconvenience and provided ample reason to take some extra time to explore the northern side of the valley by foot. One of the highlights seen in this area was this dated w

With much anticipation I’m off to Yosemite for the weekend. Roughly 1 year ago today I had the good fortune of visiting Yosemite valley after a fresh snow. Although it’s not looking likely that I’ll have the same luck this weekend it should still be a fun trip with numerous photo opportunities. If you’re in the park this weekend and want to cross paths email me. Happy Leap Day! Bridal Veil Fal

The great thing about nature is that it consistantly amazes. Case in point is the beautiful build up of lichen and moss in the trees at Point Lobos State Reserve. This is no doubt one of the most beautiful locations in California and these trees are but one facet of this gem of state land.

The California coastline is always a dynamic environment especially as storms generate large surf. Like clockwork nearly every big storm there are news stories of people knocked from the rocks by rogue waves and killed. When taking photos in precarious places along the coast one always has to have one eye out to sea. Even 15 feet above the water during this shoot I still had to retreat a couple of times as large sets

Sadly it seems like months ago, but only two weeks ago this was my “office” view. Kayaking off the coast of Maui with numerous Humpback whales in the area was awe inspiring. I have to admit one whale came up right behind my wife and I and scared the hell out of us. The loud exhale of this giant animal can do that when you don’t see them coming. Pictured below is a whale and her calf diving. Before t

It’s official I’m back from my trip to Maui. The weather was rather stormy making landscape work challenging, but it was a peak season for Humpback whales sightings. Approximately 10,000 whales were congregating between Maui, Lanai and Moloka’i. The whales are the star attraction this time of year and have become the focus of a lot of ecotourism activities. Locally a great balance has been struck be

This is one of my favorite panoramic photos and is comprised of 50 vertical images for a final resolution of roughly 425 megapixels. The thumbnail may not be impressive but if you click through you’ll see just how expansive this area really is. If you have sharp eyes you might just find a helicopter. Take your time in enjoying this massive landscape of Kauai’s most famous canyon over the next week as I wi
