Lower Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
In the fall of 2010, while my wife and I were taking a walk, I found myself thinking about how we had recently become empty-nesters and how that would simplify our travel opportunities. I asked her if she could visit anywhere she wanted to in the next year, where would that be? After a couple […]
Hot Masonic Temple, Livingston, Park County, Montana, USA
Drove over to Livingston, MT, on a sunny day, late afternoon, to try out my new Q3. There was a lot of beautiful architecture and shadows, but this one was particularly special.
Sunset at Kakabeka Falls, Ontario, Canada
On a special evening after a visit to Thunder Bay, Ontario, I spent that weekend with my significant other to celebrate our anniversary a few months early. We met here at Kakabeka Falls for the first time in 2023, and since then, it has been a special place for us both. The atmosphere smelled of […]
Mount Kailash North Face, Dirapuk, Tibet
So much has been written about this mountain peak that the material can fill the Library of Congress, figuratively. Not delving into the spiritual aspect of this mountain, it is a massive peak with an elevation of 22,000 feet above sea level, but it is dwarfed by other peaks in the world, such as Mount […]
White River Falls, Tygh Valley, Oregon, USA
It was January 2012. I was scouting waterfall locations to film part of an Isuzu TV commercial. We needed a waterfall that we could jump over in a kayak. White River Falls is one of my favorite locations. If I’m in the area and time permits, I’ll stop by. We ended up filming the project […]
Seljalandsfoss, Sudurland, Iceland
Being general optimists, my wife and I made reservations to go on a cruise with her sisters in October 2021. Since that is a time I prefer for us to take a dedicated photography trip, I checked around for an alternative. I found a nice-looking photo workshop in Iceland for November, and made additional bookings […]
Double Moonbow Over Yosemite Falls, California, USA
In the months of May, June, and July, the full moon is perpendicular to Yosemite Falls. On a clear night, after a short hike from the Lodge parking lot, you get to the viewpoint for the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. While fighting the crowds and the moisture from the spray (a lens drying cloth […]
Mount Kailash, Tibet
Mount Kailash is known as the holiest mountain peak in the world. It is a massive mountain with a peak elevation of 22000 ft, part of the Gangdise mountain range. There is a 30-mile trek around the mountain, which takes two days to complete for most people. The trailhead starts near the west side of […]
Middle McCloud Falls, California, USA
The McCloud River had been on my list for 25 years. I just couldn’t seem to fit it into my schedule, as I am always out in the field teaching in June, the time of year I wanted to visit and photograph the river and falls. However, last summer, things finally fell into place. I […]
