Wilderness Protection – Only As Strong As The Wilderness Act

This weekend an interesting OpEd hit the New York Times titled Rethinking the Wild,  The Wilderness Act Is Facing a Midlife Crisis. If you haven’t read it I highly recommend you do, as you’ll hear much of this narrative in the coming months and years as various forces continue to try to chip away at it to weaken it if not undo it. The Wilderness Act of 1964 did something amazing, it protected 9.1 million

Rugged Beauty, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

This past weekend I finally got around to revisiting some work from a couple years back when I was in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Whether you’re aware or not, the photograph in the header banner of this blog was taken in the Arctic Refuge and is part of the large set of photographs, several hundred, I reviewed and released this weekend.

Photo Term Series #17: Hyperfocal Distance

One of the most essential pieces of knowledge to understand in order to attain sharp images, particularly for landscapes, is the principle of hyperfocal distance. Phil Davis put it best in Photography, 1972 “When the lens is focused on the hyperfocal distance, the depth of field extends from half the hyperfocal distance to infinity.” The general tip to burn into your memory is focus 1/3 of the way into yo

Interplanetary Landscape Photography: Mars and Earth Permafrost Polygons

One of the most exciting developments to occur this weekend was the landing of the Phoenix Mars Lander. Landing on the northern pole region of Mars, amazing photos were sent back detailing unusual, yet familiar looking polygonal shapes in the polar landscape. Upon seeing these photos I didn’t need to read a word on the NASA Phoenix Lander web site about what I was seeing. From my trip to the Arctic National Wil

Arctic Refuge: Hidden Beauty

The land of the midnight sun (aka Alaska) produces some of the most beautiful light for photography. The trick is being able to see it through the quickly changing weather conditions. Not far from my camp when I took this photo the midnight sun kissed the mountainside as a storm front was moving in.
