Last Stand
Another take on advancing shadows, this scene was along the Main Boulder route as I drove to the Natural Bridge. The clean, sharp edge of light gets me every time, and on this occasion it was no different. The shot had a high potential of being ‘blown out’, but a little drop in [...]
Obstructed Beauty
Inspired by Andreas Manessinger’s recent post on FineArtPhotoblog.com, I decided to shoot this image despite the bare willow branches preventing a clear view. He made the argument that sometimes you just can’t do anything about an obstruction and that you might as well use it. And so I found myself next to this [...]
Flying Low
I decided to post something from ‘the road’ here in Jackson Hole vs. what I’d scheduled ahead of time. I was out in the valley east of town today when I saw this plane coming in for a landing. I’ve actually flown out of the airport, but never into. Regardless, I thought this was a [...]

In all that heap of photos, today’s choice is another that stuck out at me - it’s actually a vertical panorama, despite being square format as well. The scene [...]

Life of Lizard

Smoking Rock
Despite having several other things I’d like to post, I decided it was time for another shot from Utah. I haven’t needed to dive back into the archives lately, but today I was out driving with a good friend who’s spent a lot of time crawling around the rocks down there also and it [...]
