My Eclipse Image and Forbes

Posted by on Mar 15th, 2019 |4 comments

My Eclipse Image and Forbes
A few years ago I wrote an article titled "Where Did They Use That Image?" where I did some searching for licenses of my images sold through Getty Images to see if I could figure out where they ended up. Today I noticed that Forbes had licensed one of my images, so I decided to see if I could find it.

Will Work For Food
The first part of my trip over, it was time to report for volunteer trail maintenance duty at Iceland's Thórsmörk National Park. What would it be like to live in a tent for two weeks while repairing sections of Iceland's most famous hiking trail, the Laugavegur? I was about to find out!

Return to Death Valley
In my last article I described my trip to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to see the wildflowers everyone was talking about. Now it was time to head back home, but not before a quick visit to Death Valley National Park to see if any wildflower activity was going on there.

Anza-Borrego in Bloom
I wasn't planning to go that far south. Really, I was going to turn around after Valley of Fire in Nevada and start heading back home. But the online wildflower reports and photos posted by my Facebook friends were too much to resist. I simply had to visit Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in California.

Last week we began exploring the Valley of Fire State Park in southern Nevada. Today we'll hike just a little deeper into the park and visit a few more sandstone formations, and one that may remind you of a more iconic desert Southwest location.

Valley of Fire
Last spring I decided to do a loop around Nevada in search of wildflowers and other interesting photographic subjects. After wrapping up my first major stop in Great Basin National Park, it was time to head south to the place that had inspired the trip in the first place - Valley of Fire State Park.

What is a Wilderness Area?

What is a Wilderness Area?
We probably all have a pretty good idea of what a wilderness is - it's the exact opposite of the urban sprawl and nonsense most of us endure on a daily basis. But what is it really?

Slot Canyon Surprise
Recently one of my customers asked me if I had more slot canyon images than were showing on my website. It seems he wanted to buy one as a birthday gift. This is exactly the kind of motivation I needed to go back and look through the archives, and as usual, what I found surprised me!

A Walk on the Wildside
I have the privilege of living on a small mountain in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, and on top of that mountain is a huge urban wildland park. This week I decided to hike in to what I refer to as my "back yard" and see what kind of late autumn photographs I could find.

Larch Lake and the Scottish Lakes High Camp

Posted by on Oct 13th, 2016 |1 comment

Larch Lake and the Scottish Lakes High Camp
While on a backpacking trip in British Columbia a few years back, I asked some experienced backcountry photographers where the best place was to photograph larch trees in the fall. Without hesitation, they unanimously responded, "Larch Lake!". So when my friend Max asked me if I wanted some vouchers to stay in the high camp near there, he didn't have to ask twice!

Five Years Ago This Week
Ever stop and think about what you were doing a year ago, or maybe five years ago? To gauge your progress or for no reason but nostalgia, some folks including my Mom kept a journal to revisit days gone by. But photos are also an excellent way to bring back memories!

Yant Flat Isn’t So Flat

Yant Flat Isn’t So Flat
Growing up in south Louisiana, I wasn't familiar with the concept of a "flat". Heck, everything down there is flat. It wasn't until I visited Yosemite that I encountered the term in reference to an area of land. Well, today we'll explore an area called Yant Flat, and it turns out it's not so flat.
