I had a big case of “wishing I was there” envy as I photographed these fisherman gliding placidly across Sabrina Lake. The quaking aspen were putting on a nice show of color to add additional interest.

I’ve been shooting nature photography for around 25 years and still get a rush when searching for a beautiful landscape. I enjoy sharing my love of nature with other people. My focus is in landscape photography but will venture into other areas as they present themselves to me. I welcome any comments, good or bad about my work.

I could hear falling water in the distance so I decided to hike cross country down to a canyon away from the trail to Fitzroy basecamp. When I got down to the river, I found this beautiful series of cascades rimmed with fresh ice at sunrise after a cold autumn night. A few days later I got up at 3am and planned to hike solo back to this location for another sunrise. As I came around a bend in the trail, my headlamp illuminated the eyes of a crouching puma, only a few feet away next to the trail. I was alone, it was pitch black, and the body language of the puma convinced me to slowly back away and abandon my plans…

Sunrise from just below the summit crater of Mt. Rainier in June. Cloud deck approximately a vertical mile below. The warm light was a welcomed feeling with single digit temperatures and gusting winds all night.

Rain, clouds, and fog almost prevented any sight or shots of Mt. Shasta on a recent visit to Northern California and Southern Oregon. Fortunately, on this day, I caught the peak just as a snowstorm was blowing over it.

I am primarily a portrait and event photographer, but I enjoy landscape photography when the opportunities present themselves. I especially like landscapes that feature urban or rural decay–I like the stories told by the manmade things we leave behind.

This is one of those frustrating images you gotta have if you go there even though everyone has it. I tried every morning to get some alpenglow on the peaks and for what ever reason something went wrong so I was glad on the last day to get some kind of color. I used a Mor-Slo 5 Stop ND filter to get a longer exposure and thus more color.
