A Dark and Dreary Central Oregon Day. This photo was taken November of 2010.
This was a blustery and stormy late afternoon. The light was flat but the clouds were big. I photographed this wide to include the powerful sky, and processed it dark to express the mood of the scene that day.
Alaska on Ice – During my last trip to Alaska I and Darlene were able to met up with two of Alaska’s best photographers, Calvin Hall and Jason Dahlquist.
Wildflower Season and Leave No Trace
Well, it’s February and, so far, a mild Winter. If this trend continues we will have an excellent wildflower season. n early Spring has two consequences for photographers. I beautiful wildflower season and a lot of mosquitoes and ticks.
This photo is of the huge ice face of the Knik Glacier in Alaska. I was able to photograph this miraculous location due to my good friend Bill Nafus and his amazing new hand built Super Cub bush plane. Bill built the airplane from the ground up and it’s perfect in every detail.
The Northern Lights over Anchorage Alaska 9/3/16 – 2:28 am
On this particular night Darlene and I were driving back toward Wasilla through Anchorage when I decided that I wanted to drive up to the Glen Alps to see if we could see the aurora over the city.
The Marquam Bridge Portland Oregon.
My friend Matt Payne and I were talking about this photo of The Marquam Bridge Portland Oregon and how it’s such a prominent in a sea of city lights, making it an obvious composition for a photographer with an eye for detail. I think that some who have photographed this overpass intersection have done it intentionally due to seeing the photo but others who may not have seen this previously just see it and do it.
The eye of the tempest.
This was the lodge that Darlene and I were privileged to have been able to stay in while we visited the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Central Oregon, thanks to my friends Vicky and Charles Littleleaf.
This last year for me was a bit of a challenge when it came to photography, but it’s been a great year businesswise. The carrot keeps getting a little closer each year. And 2017 was the year that I got married. As bittersweet as it was, I was still able to get out and take a few shots.
A Christmas Cabin in The Woods – It was late in the day on the eve before Christmas Eve when I decided to drive up to the Little Zigzag River to get some fresh air and take a few photos of the creek in the snow. It was getting dark and I wasn’t too pleased with the photos that I took there, but as I was driving back home I passed by this cabin in the forest.
Dew Drops in The Forest – “You’re too close to the trees to see the forest.” To which I reply, “Well, sometimes there’s more to the forest than just the trees!” First I see a forest, then trees, then leaves, then bark, pine cones, moss, mushrooms, bugs, dew, grains of sand.
