I can hardly believe that 2025 is over. While I was experiencing it the year seemed as if it was just crawling by. I spent a large part of the year convalescing – recuperating from, shoulder surgery. Last March found me under the surgeons knife. I had torn the rotator cuff tendons in my right … Read more
Last week I traveled to Uncertain, Texas, to co-lead my annual photography workshop at Caddo Lake. I’ve grown familiar with this place over the past four years, but it never loses its magic. The quiet bayou, the slow dark water, and the ancient bald cypress trees draped in Spanish moss create a world that feels untouched by time.
What I didn’t expect was that I would witness a rare aurora at Caddo Lake, something almost unheard of that far south.
In today’s hyperconnected world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of talented artists sharing their work online. We might start to doubt ourselves or feel like we—or what we do—aren’t good enough.
Chasing the Aurora in Oregon with My Faithful Trail Dog A Late-Night Adventure with My Red Heeler and the Northern Lights Last Saturday night, my wife Darlene was keeping tabs on the aurora forecast through an app she uses, and around 10 p.m., she called out: “It’s popping!” That’s all it took. I grabbed my … Read more
The Northern Lights have always fascinated me. When I was a little boy, I was curious about Alaska. I enjoyed reading Jack London books. White Fang and Klondike Tales, To Build a Fire was my favorite story.
Winter finally made it to Oregon and 2024 came in like a lion weather-wise. We had high winds, ice, snow and temps near 0°F. Needless today there was a lot of storm damage and hardship with electricity, water and phone/Internet disruption many people were in survival mode for at least a week in the area … Read more
A Year of Adventure and Beauty My Favorite Landscape Photos of 2023 2023 was a year to remember. From Oregon’s dramatic coastlines to the autumn-kissed mountains of Colorado, I had the opportunity to photograph some truly incredible places. As always, I also made time to capture the beauty of my home near Mount Hood, as … Read more
In the past, at the end of the year, I have only posted the summary of my previous year as it was represented in the landscape photos that I had made. As I looked through my portfolio from 2021 one thing stood out to me and that is that I am starting to have a large part of it wildlife photos.
This photo was made using my 70-200mm lens at 140mm. I was perched high on a 400 foot edge looking over this incredible desert floor.
Situated between Capitol Reef to the west, the Henry Mountains to the south, the San Rafael Swell to the north and the San Rafael desert to the east. This butte is a popular spot for both Photographers and OHV (off highway vehicles). This situation has created a conflict of sorts as the landscape has tracks through it. This causes a challenge in the hope of getting a pristine photo of this location.
