Having the opportunity to see the Golden Gate Bridge become shrouded in fog is always a treat. The irony of course when photographing the bridge is that when you want it to be clear it seldom is and when you want to photograph the fog its usually clear. I suppose that’s the joy of micro-climates. Even though I live with in a 5-8 minute drive to the bridge the weather can be drastically different at my house ver

Participants Gallery From Past Trips My next Sea Otter Photo Tour is just under 30 days away and there are only a few spots left. We had a blast last time and with the chance of seeing pups this time around those in attendance are likely to have an even more memorable time. Photographed way in the back of the photo on the left is Eliya Selhub who had such a great time he’s making it out a 2nd time and had this

5 more weeks to go before my next Sea Otter Photo Tour on December 13th. If you’re on the fence whether you should attend or not… take the plunge. We had a great time the last time this was held. Check out the photos taken by those in attendance in the participants gallery.  Photos aside I got a charge personally from seeing everyone so in awe of the wildlife including Sea Otters, Terns, Pelicans, and a

Not isolated to the Zermatt mountains I made new friends and contacts all across Switzerland. Near Gstaad I had a fun encounter with these inquisitive cows enjoying the autumn sun in their meadow.

This months Sea Otter Photo Tour in Monterey was such a success that I’ve opened another for mid-December. Around this time of year it is possible to catch sight of pups.

If you missed the last outing (see the highlight photos) be sure to make this one.  Sea Otter Ph

The first time I saw a Pronghorn while out in Utah I saw nothing but a dust trail in the desert. Not too surprising considering they’re the fastest land animal in the western hemisphere. From my experience they’re quite skittish and most of the time you’ll see them far off. Recently I caught a lucky break and had a close encounter with a couple of Pronghorn in eastern Utah. One stuck around surprisi

Soft lighting filtering through pre-dawn fog provided some interesting photographic opportunities during my last day at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming back in July. This hike was particularly refreshing as numerous photographic subjects seemed to pop out of the landscape. The layering and juxtaposition of foliage caught my eye. This photo has since become one of my favorites from this trip. [tags]nature, photog

My latest travels this past week took me to Seattle where I had a chance to photograph some of the more iconic locations around town including Pike Place Market, arguably one of the two most recognizable Seattle landmarks. One of the many highlights during my brief trip was having the chance to meet several talented photographers at the opening night of the International Conservation Photography Awards (ICP Awards) g
