I credit my interest in photography squarely on Mirror Lake at Yosemite National Park. While in college I ventured out to this location in the early 1990’s, took a snapshot with a point and shoot film camera and upon getting my print back was hooked. For some reason the serene early morning reflection of the amazing cliff walls and trees struck a nerve with me and I realized I was hooked not just on photography

It’s been about 4 years since I’ve been to Yosemite National Park and stayed on the valley floor. This past weekend was beautiful and not too crowded, but still above average in attendance. A few things have changed since my last visit including the change in access to Yosemite Falls and the addition of hybrid bus lines. All in all the atmosphere was nice, but still a little more crowded than I would pref

I have always been interested in taking a photo from this spot. I finally got around to it after living in San Francisco for 5 years or so. After enduring a few nudists, a little rock climbing and waiting for the perfect moment I got the shot I envisioned. An interesting side note… I brought my film SLR and my dSLR with me on this shoot.

As soon as I saw this scene I knew I had to photograph it though and for as much grief as I got about taking the photo it was later confided in me that this photo is now one of her favorites.

While working on some other photo projects I got a bit nastalgic for some of my favorite photographs from last year. I’ve been over due for creating a page dedicated to some of my favorites, but here is one from Fort Point in San Francisco… with a surfer to top it off.

For sometime I’ve been asked what techniques I use to capture my panoramic photos and recently I had the opportunity to conduct a presentation on the topic. Inspired by the feedback from those I’ve talked to and presented to I’ve written up an article on how to Master Digital Panoramic Photography. If you’re new to panoramic photography I hope this helps you learn the ropes and for those with

For those just finding my site for the first time I have been documenting a recent trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with in the “Articles” section of my web site. Updates include daily highlights and images. So far 10 days have been posted of the 12 days in the field. The trip was centered around the filming of an episode of “Travels to the Edge with Art Wolfe”, a TV program / Natur
