One thing I really enjoy about sharing my photography is that every so often a photo finds its perfect audience who can fully appreciate a core thought that inspired its creation. Case in point is my Light Lasso photo from Death Valley National Park that was recently published in the quarterly edition of the DarkSky.org quarterly publication Nightscape with a feature on “Seeing Blue, Blue Rich White Light”

If nature is my religion, the world is my temple. Walk carefully in the most pristine of locations and you’ll hear whispers and see writing. What you hear and read will be as much a reflection of you as the world before you. [tags]Photography, New Mexico, Landscape, Nature, Stock Photo, Fine Art[/tags]

It’s that time of year again. July 24th I’m going to be leading a photowalk here in San Francisco as part of the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk mega-event. Last years photowalk through North Beach was a lot of fun with lots of great photos taken, but this year I’m going to be sharing a favorite spot of mine… Sutro Baths and Lands End.  We’ll be meeting in front of Louis’, a small

Tell me a location has no more unique vantage points and I’ll find one. I love a good challenge. While there are an infinite number of Soaptree Yucca plant (Yucca elata) photos from White Sands National Monument in New Mexico it is still possible to create something new and unique.
