The extreme environment of Death Valley National Park might make most photographers think there is nothing special to capture in this barren location. Yet Death Valley boasts numerous photogenic locations that emerge in the early and late hours of the day. While most think of well known photo locations with in the park there are numerous areas to explore when the lighting is right. Finding these new photo opportuniti

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

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

While in Switzerland on my last trip there I found a quiet brook running through the alpine countryside and was in awe of the fall color. The brook itself was a beautiful turquoise (I’ll post a photo of that in the near future) and the ceiling of color provided above it by the trees was a real visual treat.

A bad day at Glacier National Park is better than my best day in so many other locations.

I woke up an hour too early to watch and photograph sunrise on this particular morning in Two Medicine. While clear to the west, the direction at which this photo was taken, cl

I’ve been working on a few photo series as of late. “Free” (unrelated to recent posts) is one series that I’ll be slowly releasing capturing the essence of vast open landscapes. As urban sprawl continues to expand its easy to forget what beauty the land holds when it is left untouched. Its becoming increasingly common for many people to have never laid eyes on a view of vast open and untouched

It’s interesting how different niches of photography require different levels of patience. I suppose all forms of photography require the same degree of patience… the perceived difference in patience is likely a result of photographers being in synch creatively with one subject versus another. Some subjects click with photographers while others do not. It’s a fascinating phenomenon if you stop to th

Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park isn’t the most traveled to location, but it is one of the most beautiful.  The serene nature of the lake is fleeting as many kayakers and small boat operators like to enjoy it. I caught this photo just before a boat disrupted the stillness of the water. I was idealistically hoping that this moment would last forever, but change in nature and by man is constant. [tags]L
