I’m busy getting ready for the Sykesville Holiday Marketplace (in Westminster on the 28th of November). This means making sure I have the prints and giftables I want to have on hand, but also processing as many of the most recent photos as I can. Which is tricky, since I generally need to sit on … More Smokey Mountains Photo Drop
Late in the evening, driving back to camp along a dirt road after shooting the sunset near Ridgway, Colorado, something large loped into the road a few hundred feet ahead of me. It was so unexpected that it took me a few seconds to take in the size, color and movement of the animal and … More A high point!
I’ve mentioned my car many times in my blog. My “Eletent”, the trusty Honda Element that has carried me all over the US and Canada and been my mobile tent through it all, has racked up a lot of miles. At 220,000 miles it was only to be expected that eventually something would go wrong … More Things Fall Apart
After Devil’s Tower, I met up with my good friend and fellow photographer, John Sperry, who was joining me for the following week or so of my travels. We’d chosen Buffalo, Wyoming as our meeting place based on its proximity to our mutual locations and planned destination. We lucked out with a gorgeous campsite at … More Fort Phil Kearny

Devil’s Tower itself is, of course, the main attraction, domineering the landscape, but its not … More Devil’s Tower

Traveling from the Mammoth area to Lamar Valley takes me through an ever changing landscape. By the time I’m in Lamar Valley, I feel like I’ve entered the Land Of The Lost, … More Lamar Valley
I’m not sure there are many things cuter than a baby black bear…except maybe three baby black bears. Yellowstone National Park.
My trip to Colorado, Montana and Wyoming was a whirlwind of travel, photography and amazing animal encounters. I didn’t manage to photograph every encounter, like the wolf the we followed as it trotted down the road in the light of our headlights, then turned around to stand 10 feet from the vehicle window before melting … More Fearless Red Dogs
I’ve been thinking a lot about my favorite places recently and its no surprise that they are all places that would not exist if it weren’t for conservation efforts. One place that I return to again and again is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. When I first started exploring further than my … More Happy Earth Day!
