Behind the scenes of this photo Taken at Cathedral Peak, Yosemite, June 12th, 2015 Scrambling around near the top of Medlicott Dome a few weeks back, I was in awe of the massive thunderclouds forming high above the Sierra. There were shafts of sunlight traversing the landscape, brilliantly spotlighting the granite mountains. I waited until a spotlight shone solely […]

Carson Peak, June Lake, Sierra Nevada, California, January 23rd, 2016

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken at Carson Peak, June Lake, Sierra Nevada, California, January 23rd, 2016 In all honesty I’ve never been a cold weather person.

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken from Lookout Mountain in the eastern Sierra Nevada, California, October 20th, 2015 While perusing google maps I noticed a broad patch of manzanita with what appeared to be a clear view of Mammoth Mountain to the southwest.

Touching Distance

Mono Lake, Sierra Nevada, California, October 12th, 2015

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken at Mono Lake, Sierra Nevada, California, October 12th, 2015 Mono Lake is one of my absolute favorite places for stargazing and astrophotography.

Matacancha, Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru,

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken at Matacancha, Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru,  September 1st, 2014 Breathe deeply and take small steps. That’s the best advice I could give anyone who wants to undertake serious trekking at altitude. But it turns out to work for pretty much any challenge you’re facing. This shot is from the gobsmacking Cordillera […]

Moeraki, New Zealand, May 10th, 2015

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken at Moeraki, New Zealand, May 10th, 2015 Why “Three Minute Noodles”? Because “Three Minute Boulders” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it… View more New Zealand photos

Captain, Klingons are Approaching

McLean Falls, New Zealand, May 12th, 2015

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken at McLean Falls, New Zealand, May 12th, 2015 Plants never cease to amaze me. That some seed or spore was able to alight on this tiny precipice and put down roots is incredible. But to do it, to grow, and to flourish under the constantly onslaught of a waterfall […]

You Are Invited

New-Zealand-Lake-Wanaka-Lenticular-sunset

Behind the scenes of this photo Taken in Lake Wanaka, New Zealand, April 18th, 2015 Well so much for relaxing. After completing two somewhat intense circuits of the southern South Island of New Zealand I was feeling jazzed up to wind down.
