Taken from the Virgin River Bridge in Zion National Park, on January 31st, 2010 While visiting Zion National Park, I was avoiding taking a photo of The Watchman from this vantage point because it has simply been shot and re-shot, and I wanted to try to find something unique. However, on this particular morning, after […]
Taken at Horseshoe Bend, near Page, Arizona on January 28th, 2010 Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River is one of THE classic southwest photo locations. And in my ignorance, I didn’t even know I was there until I practically fell into it. It wasn’t until I hit the outskirts of Page and saw the turnoff […]
Taken in Upper Antelope Canyon, near Page, Arizona on January 27th, 2010 While on a southwest roadtrip, I arrived in Page without any idea of what the town had to offer. Upon checking into a motel, I discovered to my surprise that Antelope Canyon was just outside of the city. The next morning I booked […]
Taken at Hole in the Wall Beach near Santa Cruz, California on January 7th, 2010 The far south end of Hole in the Wall Beach is a wonderland of rocky formations, shelves, gaps, and holes. I initially intended to shoot an extremely long, narrow channel in the rocks, but after a few snaps I decided […]
As 2009 winds its way down, I’ve caught myself reflecting on the successes and failures, and the adventures and mishaps of the past year. For me 2009 was a year of great change, growth, and opportunity. I got to visit places I can hardly believe exist, and I got to do things I never imagined […]
Lately I’ve been pondering the need to push my photography to the next level; to get more unique shots by pushing myself farther out there. I’ve been wanting to get some truly special shots and have been thinking about pushing myself to go out in more challenging, or even dangerous, conditions as a means to […]
Taken near Olmstead Point, Yosemite National Park on August 31st, 2009 Slightly less visited, but no less dramatic than Yosemite Valley, Tenaya Lake is a classic high Sierra lake: tranquil blue waters surrounded my massive granite monoliths. After a short backpacking trip to Cathedral Lakes, I was headed home along highway 120 when the smoky, […]
Read The Story Buy A Print The Story Behind This Photograph: Taken at Upper Cathedral Lake, Yosemite National Park on August 30th, 2009 Living and working at sea level makes life tricky in the high country. Even though this was my second day of backpacking at the Cathedral Lakes, and should have been somewhat acclimated […]
Taken in Resurrection Bay, Alaska on August 16th, 2009 Alaska is an surreal place. Where else can you see glaciers, mountains, whales, seabirds, and sea lions, all on the same cruise? These Steller sea lions were hauled out on some rocks in Resurrection Bay, basking in the sun as powerful waves crashed around them. Look […]
Taken near the Chiswell Islands, Resurrection Bay, Alaska, on August 16th, 2009 Alaska is one of those surreal places of the planet: a place that has scenery so breathtaking it seems impossible. The peaks in Resurrection Bay aren’t particularly high, but their sharp spires and glacier-covered flanks make them seem unassailable. I wanted to enhance […]
Taken on Gareloi Volcano, Aleutian Islands, Alaska on June 24th, 2009 Gareloi Island has clouds like no place else I’ve ever been. Clouds of all shapes, sizes, layers, and colors. Lenticular clouds formed above neighboring Tanaga Volcano constantly, but despite the similarities between Tanaga and Gareloi, we never had any lenticulars, just clouds like this […]
Taken near the summit of Gareloi Volcano, Aleutian Islands, Alaska on July 23rd, 2009 A slog. That’s what the trek up to the top of Gareloi Volcano was: a vertical mile of knee-high grass, treacherous talus, and shifting snow. And despite my group’s steady pace, the summit never seemed to get any closer. When we […]
