Photo Shoots

I just returned from spending a week in Costa Rica, and can’t wait to go back in February for a workshop I am helping teach for ANPW.  If you haven’t been, here is what you are missing; friendly people, stunning natural parks, scarlet macaws flying through the jungle, monkeys about everywhere you look, and dramatic Read More

A lot of my photography takes place after I hike into a location.  For this reason, I am constantly looking for ways to streamline what I carry.  Recently I was going rock climbing with my family, and really wanted to shoot a few images of my son.  He is now the ‘real climber’ in our Read More

I’m on an assignment right now in Alaska shooting a variety of subjects, from hikers to  jet boats to appetizers to moose…yes, that’s right, moose.  My job this morning was to go out and find a moose and calf so my client could use the image in a marketing brochure.  Now finding a moose in Read More

Colorado is rapidly warming up right now as winter recedes.  I enjoy shooting in all the seasons, but there is something special about shooting in subzero temps without a person in sight.  I recently posted a new banner on my business Facebook page, and a number of people sent me emails about how I got Read More

2012 was a busy year for me, from assignments to workshops to speaking engagements.  I can only hope 2013 will be as busy; based on my current schedule, it might even be busier!  I always like to reflect on my work from the previous year, and choose 5 images I like.  Even though I shoot Read More

Okay, let me start by saying this disclaimer: I’m not recommending anyone take a perfectly good SB900, tie a brick to it, and sink it to the bottom of a river.  But aren’t you just a little curious as to what would happen, and how the light would look? I love experimenting with light, applying Read More

I try to cover a variety of topics on this blog to inform, educate and hopefully inspire!  Some posts are very technical while others are more ‘right brained’.  I was recently in Alaska on assignment shooting for the tourism bureau, and was given the task of shooting a transportation museum.  Now I will admit I Read More

2011 was a great year for us, lots of interesting assignments, great workshops around the globe, and the release of my first book, Adventure Sports Photography, Creating Dramatic Images in Wild Places.  I always like to look back on my favorite images of the year and see what was working, what I learned, and what Read More

I just finished a 2000 mile road trip in three days.  It sounds long, but time goes by fast when you are doing presentations and photo shoots…especially shoots in Vegas.  And early morning drives sometime result in spectacular sunrises like this one in Salt Lake City. I started by driving over to Salt Lake City Read More

Just returned from Lander, Wyoming photographing rock climbers in Sinks Canyon.  NOLS is based there, and I lived there and worked for NOLS for years.  I was fixated on climbing in Sinks, there are amazing routes and the canyon is warm enough to climb all year.  I hadn’t been back in a long time, great Read More
