Ross Bay Beach, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Living on Vancouver Island, I often drive the beautiful Victoria waterfront. Whenever I drive to Victoria, I always take my photo gear. On this bright, sunny day I started my trip in the downtown harbor, taking pictures of the Empress Hotel and the Parliament Buildings. I then proceeded out to the breakwater and took shots […]
Cathedral Rock Reflection, Sedona, Coconino National Forest, Arizona, USA
Sedona has become one of my absolute favorite places to go for hiking and photography, and every time I get the chance to go, I always try to visit the Secret Slick Rock Trail, which is basically a mesa above a valley with Cathedral Rock across it. Anytime it rains, there are usually 4–5 water […]
Morning Dunes, White Sands, New Mexico, USA
This is a medium format film (Fuji Velvia 100) photograph from 2007; I traveled to New Mexico for photography work in December–January. The previous day there was a storm, and on the morning of this photograph the desert had a special feeling, a muted glow. I hiked for some time to think about a composition, […]
Not A Single Blade Of Grass, Ladakh, India
Ladakh has harsh environmental conditions, characterized by high elevation, extreme temperatures, and limited precipitation, which create an inhospitable environment for vegetation growth. The region’s arid climate and rugged terrain contribute to sparse vegetation and make it very difficult for ecosystems to thrive. The title of this picture has been used by others to describe this […]
Little Egypt, Hansville, Garfield County, Utah, USA
We’d left my brother’s place in Kanab days ago, fresh off a fantastic visit. The plan was flawless: a leisurely, photogenic sweep through Capitol Reef and then a restful, non-dramatic stay in Hanksville. Hanksville itself was… an experience. It felt like we’d accidentally time-travelled into a 1950s atomic-bunker diorama. The real target, however, was Little […]
White Sands in Monochrome, New Mexico, USA
I arrived late in the afternoon, and the wind was quite strong. I was intrigued by the dust clouds in the distance and the dramatic sky. I thought these, coupled with the rippled sand in the foreground, would make for a dramatic combination.
After Sunset, Agropoli, Cilento Coast, Italy
Right after sunset, I waited for the blue hour to get a longer exposure and better highlight the rocks in the foreground. In the background, in the distance, are the Amalfi Coast and Capri on the left.
Beautiful Desolation, Tibet
Another stunning view of the desert with the snow-capped mountain in the background. The driver of the bus we were on would stop now and then so we could stretch our legs. The journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is nearly 1,000 km and takes about two days to cover the distance.
Full Tilt, Oatman Road, Old Route 66, Arizona, USA
John Steinbeck called Route 66 “the mother road, the road of flight,” and along the stretch between Oatman and Topock, the phrase still resonates with the landscape. Full Tilt was captured during magic hour, when the sun slips behind the Black Mountains and the hardpan exhales the day’s heat. Light saturates the desert—pavement amber, scrub […]
Between The Cathedrals, Praia das Catedrais, Galicia, Spain
This was a lovely morning at Praia das Catedrais in Galicia. With the tide being low, it was possible to walk between the sea stacks and capture some long exposures.
