Morning at Sol Duc Falls, Olympic National Park, Washington State, USA
Living in the Pacific Northwest, this assignment – “Waterfalls” – is right in my sweet spot. The Cascades Range of mountains is aptly named, as heavy snows, glaciers, and temperate rainforest conditions create an abundance of water flowing in its journey to the Pacific Ocean. Olympic National Park, in the farthest northwest region of the […]
Buchaille Etive Mor, Glen Etive, Glencoe, Scotland
The Buchaille Etive Mor is a Mountain at the head of Glen Etive in Glencoe in the highlands of Scotland. Running down from the mountain and through the valley is the River Etive, and as it flows down over rocks and boulders during the harsh winter months, the waters become frozen. I captured this image […]
Deep Inside The Mountain, Gljufrabui, 249, 861, South Iceland
What an incredible experience it was to photograph Gljufrabui Falls, which is hidden inside a cave. The weather outside was cool in September, and while I was dressed for the exterior conditions, the cave itself was icy cold. I had to carefully navigate the slippery rocks, which were covered in algae, making it challenging to […]
The Light at Laughing Falls, Yoho National Park, BC, Canada
I visited Yoho National Park in British Columbia on the last day of a father-son trip to the Canadian Rockies. The itinerary for each day was largely the same: wake up, pack a day bag, hike, take in the beautiful mountain scenery, return to the hotel, eat a delicious dinner, sleep, and repeat. It was […]
Calf Creek Morning Light, Lower Calf Creek Falls, Boulder, Utah, USA
I set out on the Lower Calf Creek Falls trail in the spring, just after sunrise, on my first journey to these falls. It had been snowing the day before, and a light dusting still covered portions of the trail that did not get much sunlight. The 3-mile hike to the falls was majestic, giving […]
Ruiwaka Resurgence, Nelson, Tasman, New Zealand
I have often visited this place, looking for that light, and never found it. This trip, I wanted to go earlier before the sun illuminated the area, as I was looking for mist and mood, which I had never seen photographed here before. I was fortunate to have the entire place to myself, so I […]

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 […]
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 […]
