Cannon Beach Oregon Sunset
Some days I feel that I’m blessed with an inordinate amount of amazing light when I go out to make photos. I can’t explain it. I’m not boasting but am simply acknowledging how blessed that I feel.

The Milky way over Mount Hood Oregon.
There once was a time when I would stay up for several nights in a row and had no stories worth telling. These days I stay up for one night and have a wonderful story that I could tell.
We’re focusing on focusing this month. How do I focus my photos is one of the most asked questions of me by other photographers. It’s a great question, and one that one would think would be pretty basic and simple.
Lost in The Mossy Forest. Here’s a photo that I made yesterday while guiding my friends Al and Kathy Baca, from Long Island New York, around the Mount Hood National Forest. We spent a day in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge and a day in the Mount Hood National Forest with a day of post processing between. It was a great time.
Columbia River Gorge Spring Wildflowers – In this day and age of hyper sharp, focus stacked photos, how do you feel about shallow depth of field landscape photographs?
Smith Rock Sunset – Here’s the photo that I was referring to in the video that I posted previously. Go check it out to hear the story about this great Central Oregon evening.
A Sunset on Gary’s Crack – Photographing Smith Rock Oregon – My latest video at YouTube.
Gary and Darlene spend some time photographing the forest. I found some time to practice with my Mavic Pro… and I didn’t crash. 😀
Critique and Competition in Photography – The Painted Hills in Central Oregon.
My son Chris and I took my mom to the Painted Hills this past Sunday. Mom had never been there and was completely stoked by its beauty.
I enjoy taking photo at this location with a long lens. I usually take my 70-200 and shoot little micro scenes of the textures and folds in the hills. I also enjoy the textures of the soil, but I have found that it confuses some people, I’ll explain later.
