In any family, herd, pack, pod, etc. there’s always someone to lean on. These young Bison calves (Bison bison bison) were having a good time in a Yellowstone National Park meadow. Clearly one was trying to lure the other into some activity other than resting by leaning on him/her.  Here’s to family and those you can lean on. Have a great weekend!

An often unspoken component of photography is image selection. How and why are certain photos chosen over others when reviewing results of a photo shoot? I’ve received questions on this in the past and D. Travis North (Self-Editing to Concentrate Your Workflow – Part 1) has asked me to share my insight to this topic with Kevin Oki (Editing and Workflow – Part 2) as part of a multiple-blogger series. There are t

For Part 2 of my review of the Think Tank Shape Shifter camera bag I thought I’d try something new… a video review.

Quite a few people contacted me about the bag after posting part 1 of the Shape Shifter review. I’m pretty certain I’ve answered the questions I’ve receive

 In the lowland rainforests of Costa Rica it’s not an uncommon sight to see Chestnut-mandibled Toucans (Ramphastos swainsonii) and more times than not you’ll hear them long before you see them. They’re extremely loud and  like to travel in small flocks. If you see one you’re bound to see a second. They are fascinating animals and as I have time I’ll dig up some audio recordings I made on

As you might recall in a previous post Swiftcurrent Lake Panoramic, Glacier National Park I was mentioning how fog quickly moved in obscuring the view. Here’s what the view looked like after I relocated to a different location. A few photographers who thought they got up early enough, set up for early morning light only to be shut out by quick forming fog. Sometimes it pays to be an over achiever and wake up to

Ever have the feeling that someone is watching you? While traveling in Costa Rica earlier this year I made my way to Santa Elena to visit the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Here my wife and I woke up for a classic Costa Rican breakfast only to find a troupe of White-headed Capuchin monkeys gawking at us as we ate. Apparently they knew when breakfast was served and would show up for the start of it in the hopes of g

This past Saturday Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk was held. I led a photo walk here in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood in the late afternoon through sunset and everyone seemed to have a blast.  It was fun to re-explore the city and see the sights through fresh eyes. For all that joined my photo walk thanks for taking part. I had a great time meeting you and look forward to seeing your photos
