New Limited Edition Masterwork - "ILLUSION"

OCTOBER 17, 2022

Introducing "Illusion," a new limited edition masterwork offered in a strict limited edition of twenty-five (25).

"... I came to this area along a small glacial lake initially looking to photograph water patterns, or clouds and mist clearing from some of the nearby peaks. Instead, I just happened to notice what was one of the most interesting scenes I've ever seen. The rain had caused some leaves at their peak of fall color to fall into the shallow waters of this lake. The patters in the sand and turquoise blue water offered the perfect complements. I used a polarizing filter to cut the glare... this entire scene, including the leaves, is underwater... "

New Work Release - "CANADIAN ROCKIES"

NOVEMBER 1, 2023

The Canadian Rockies are at least partly responsible for my enthusiasm for photography. I last visited in 2005 with my wife, a Canon film camera and Sony point-and-shoot. The parks were different back then... I remember going before dawn to the shores of Moraine Lake to watch the sunrise. We were the only ones there for at least an hour. Almost 20 years later, the park has certainly changed, but the Canadian Rockies still have a beauty all their own. Many of these scenes are ones you’ve not likely seen before, or if you have, the perspective is a new one. I hope you enjoy.

New Work Release - "THE SOUTHWEST"

OCTOBER 17, 2022

The American Southwest is an area I’ve explored and photographed more than any other, beginning over 15 years ago.  It is an area with endless photographic possibilities, in every season and in every weather condition.  While small geographically, I covered almost 3000 miles in a week chasing weather patterns and returning to the same locations more than once to get the best light.  The scenes in this new release are ones you’ve not likely seen before, or if you have, the perspective is a new one.  Many are aerial photographs, which has allowed me to explore a whole new world in an area I know well. I hope you enjoy.

New Work Release - "WILD ALASKA"

AUGUST 12, 2021

I am excited to finally release a new body of work from the vast, diverse landscapes of Alaska.  The photographs are quite diverse, spanning 7 months and 3 seasons.  Images were taken in -25F in the middle of winter in the low valleys to 70F at 4500 feet in the middle summer; I shot from a helicopter, seaplane and on the land; you will see snowy landscapes with trees covered in hoar frost, icy glaciers, mountains rising above the clouds, and wildflower laden valleys in the Alaska Range.  Some of the glaciers you see are receding at 100 feet per year, and will not likely be recognizable in the near future. Some of the mountains are so remote, you have probably never seen them photographed before.

New Work Release - "SUBZERO"

JANUARY 7, 2019

The area was barely recognizable from what I remember, but it was beautiful. The nights were cold. Very cold. For many nights, I watched the most breathtaking natural phenomena display in front of me. I camped at the base of the most impressive peaks. I slept through blizzards and hiked through deep snow, over slippery talus rock, across frozen rivers and through dense brush. The result is a rarely seen landscape dressed in snow, lit by the eruption of the aurora, while the earth sleeps.

Framing Options for Acrylic Facemounts

DECEMBER 3, 2018

New Work Release - "LIGHT AND LAND: THE SOUTHWEST"

JANUARY 8, 2018

"I don't see the desert as barren at all; I see it as full and ripe. It doesn't need to be flattered with rain. It certainly needs rain, but it does with what it has, and creates amazing beauty." –Joy Harjo Over the course of several weeks I trekked several thousand miles from the Colorado Plateau, across the hot deserts of Arizona, and into the snowy Sierras and White Mountains of California. The light is transformative here... the sandstone, canyons, cactus gardens, and mountains alike come to life when bathed with beautiful light ... Read More

"REMEMBERING THE COLUMBIA GORGE"

SEPTEMBER 7, 2017

A tragic fire has engulfed the waterfalls, creeks and canyons of the Columbia Gorge, a jewel of the Pacific Northwest. While I remember each of these moments very vividly, they will now only exist in my mind and in my photographs. Many, if not most, of the scenes you see in these photographs will not exist for the human eye for at least another generation.

New Work Release - "VISIONS OF THE NORTHWEST"

AUGUST 22, 2016

"The greatest reward is not what we capture, but rather how we seek it."
