Landscape, Nature And Travel Photography

Finding art in nature is always a highlight to any moment I spend behind my camera. So often we get caught up in our day to day lives that the brief and special moments we observe are fleeting. A subject I cannot photograph enough is the moon.  The moon like few other subjects consistently captures [...]

What does it look like when 11 inches of snow is falling in Yosemite Valley?
Well it looks something like this. In near white out conditions the iconic Cook’s Meadow Elm was virtually hidden behind a wall of falling snow. At the time this photo was taken, this was the most serene I’ve ever seen the [...]

While visiting Glacier National Park earlier in the year I had that feeling every morning. Much like Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/<insert holiday here> morning I woke up too early on [...]

Last year this time I was exploring Switzerland at the peak of fall color. No matter the location seeing nature transform during Autumn is a magical experience.
