Between Shadow And Gold, Kuna, Idaho, USA
I arrived long before the light. The canyon was quiet, wrapped in darkness, its immense walls dissolved into shadow. Standing at the edge of the cliff, I could hear the river far below, winding its way through the landscape long before I could truly see it. The air was cold, and for a while, it […]
Sunrise On Peaks Near Monte Nuvolao, San Vito di Cadore, Veneto, Italy
This was taken in 2019 in the early morning from Passo di Giau, just above Cortina d’Ampezzo. It was where I fell in love with the Dolomites again. The first time had been over twenty years earlier, in 1997, whilst skiing on the slopes that surround one of the most iconic mountains in the area, […]
Sunrise Over Rivalto, Chianni, Tuscany, Italy
I arrive in Rivalto when the morning has already begun to take shape, yet the landscape still holds something of the night. Before me, the hills stretch into the distance, their outlines softened by layers of mist. The fog both joins and separates them, revealing the spaces between each ridge while gently dissolving their edges. […]
Torre Di Bari, Barisardo, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
Along the Ogliastra coast in southeastern Sardinia, old watchtowers—built to guard against Saracen raids—still dot the landscape today. One of these is the Torre di Barì; it sits on a beautiful sandy beach, yet features a rocky formation that makes for compelling photographs from this vantage point. The long exposure used to capture the sea […]
Chinook Summer, Mt Rainier National Park, Washington State, USA
“Chinook Summer – Mid-July brought monsoon moisture and the threat of lightning to the Pacific Northwest—the perfect excuse to head into Mount Rainier National Park to chase some sunset drama. By mid-summer, the park is fully awake. The trails are clear, and alpine wildflowers are beginning to peak. This year, the upper Tipsoo alpine basin […]

San Rafael Swell Sunrise, Emery County, Utah, USA
I was on a quick trip between the LA area of California and Moab, Utah. I had one night to find a place with dark skies so I could get a good Milky Way photo. But there was one problem. Monsoonal moisture had spread all over central and southern Utah, and when I stopped for […]
Morning Reflection, Donnelly, Idaho, USA
This image was made during one of those quiet mornings that remind me why I fell in love with landscape photography. While on a camping trip with my family, I woke early, before anyone else, and strolled down to the lake, camera in hand. I arrived at the lake before sunrise, hoping for good light, […]
Sunset On The Dream Coast, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA
On a cool day at the end of winter, a friend and I made the long walk out to Rialto Beach to photograph some of the sea stacks on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula coast. As the sun neared the horizon, the light got better and better until it culminated in a spectacular melding of golden […]
Hills Of Santa Luce Sunrise, Pisa, Italy
I arrive when the light is already there. It is neither arriving not changing. It simply is. It divides the field with unexpected precision. One side remains in shadow, still holding the last traces of night. The other rests in warm morning light. Between them runs a narrow path. It was not planned. It was […]
