Churchill, Manitoba – With Ruins of the Ithaka
Getting this shot was a bit of an accident. The boat in the background – the “Ithaka” - wrecked on the shores of Hudson Bay in 1960, and is something of a Churchill landmark. I was tracking the bear in the bottom right of the photo, snapping away, and didn't even realize I'd captured him with the Ithaka behind him. AND there was another bear in the shot. I can't believe I didn't realize either of these things until a few minutes later, when I was looking through my recent shots. Sometimes things just work out. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24, 40x30.
The skyline shot of Chicago that I've always wanted to capture, taken at the Adler Planetarium, in the summer of 2018. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B):30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 50x20 Triptych (3 x 17x20), 60x24, 60x24 Triptych (3 x 20x24), 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48).
The Alabama Hills, which are part of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, lie just to the east of the southern portion of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Many TV shows and movies have been filmed or had portions filmed here, including The Lone Ranger, Bonanza, Tremors, and Gladiator. It is also a popular camping spot, as made obvious by all the lights in the foreground of the photo. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport served almost 44 million passengers in 2017, making it the thirty-fourth busiest airport in the world. Combine the large number of jets flying into and out of the region with the conditions that make Phoenix's sunsets so reliably beautiful, and scenes like this come together. The composition here is simple, but chaotic. There's no foreground, it's just interesting shapes, lines, and outrageously bright colors. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.
I camped just outside of Sedona, Arizona, at the end of February, 2018, and had been told there was a chance it would snow, which might afford me some relatively unique photographic opportunities. When I awoke, I found 3-4 inches of fresh snow, and immediately set off to get some photos of the area. I took this photo shortly before sunrise. It's pretty obvious where main street is. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Sedona, Arizona, is about two hours north and worlds apart from Phoenix. The colossal buttes and mountains remind me quite a bit of Zion National Park, which lies several more hours to the northwest. The rock formation in this photo is one of the most famous in the area – Cathedral Rock. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Albuquerque International Balloon Festival 2017 2
I participated in an art show in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on one of the weekends in October, 2017 that coincided with the massive Albuquerque International Balloon Festival, which is touted as the most photographed event on the planet. The gallery from which I was showing my work was only a couple miles from the take-off site, but the scale of this event, along with the timing of the show and the launch times of the balloons made it almost impossible to shoot the event from where I'd hoped to. But I did manage to find an accessible location to get this shot, which gives some idea of the number of balloons that launch each day of this unbelievable event. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40.

Iceland has a population of roughly 330,000 people, roughly 220,000 of whom live in the region of the capitol city of Reykjavik. The next biggest city has a population of roughly 17,000, and the rest of the 'urban areas' are, obviously, even smaller. I stayed in the village of Stykkisholmer (population 1,195), shown here, for two nights, and it proved to be quite similar to most of the villages around the country, albeit a bit prettier, thanks to the beautiful and nicely-maintained port. Available in the following sizes: 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 48x16 Triptych (3 x 16x16), 60x20, 60x20 Triptych (3 x 20x20), 72x24, 72x24 Triptych (3 x 24x24), 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 126x42 Triptych (3 x 42x42), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48).
Red Mountain Pass, which is part of the “Million Dollar Highway” between Ouray, and Silverton, Colorado, is simply spectacular. A 2-lane highway that lies in a relatively remote area of the state, it switchbacks back and forth before and after the views of Red Mountain, shown here. There used to be a lot of mining done here, and a careful inspection of this photo will allow one to find several abandoned mining structures. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

A 2-lane highway that lies in a relatively remote area of the state, it switchbacks back and forth before and after the views of Red Mountain, shown here. There used to be a lot of mining done here, and the abandoned building in the lower, right hand corner is one of many such buildings that remain standing in the region.

West Virginia's Greenbrier resort is steeped in history. The first hotel was built here in 1858, and today, the site occupies 11,000 acres and has 710 guest rooms, 20 restaurants, and, throughout its long history, has had 26 US Presidents stay the night. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
My photography certainly focuses on nature, and epic landscapes, but I sometimes like to switch it up and shoot some different stuff. I was on my way to an art fair in a suburb of Washington, D.C., but in no rush, so I had my GPS route me to avoid highways, and drove on small, country roads that took me by countless farms like this one. Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 48x16 Triptych (3 x 16x16), 60x20, 60x20 Triptych (3 x 20x20), 72x24, 72x24 Triptych (3 x 24x24), 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 126x42 Triptych (3 x 42x42), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48).
I'm from Colorado, and there is no shortage of farms in my home state, but farms in the Midwest are much greener, which, at least in my opinion, makes them generally more pleasing to the eye. This photo was taken just off Interstate 76, in southwest Pennsylvania, and, as beautiful as this farm is, it is one of countless in the region that have the same feel. Available in the following sizes: 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 50x20 Triptych (3 x 17x20), 60x24, 60x24 Triptych (3 x 20x24), 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48).
I spent roughly a week exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the summer of 2017. I didn't have much in the way of concrete plans, or must-see sights, but when I stumbled upon Eagle Harbor Lighthouse one afternoon, I knew I'd need to stick around for at least one sunset, and one sunrise. This shot was taken just as the sun began to rise, the day's first light illuminating this historic lighthouse in a warm glow. Available in the following sizes: 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 50x20 Triptych (3 x 17x20), 60x24, 60x24 Triptych (3 x 20x24), 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48).

Stained Glass at St. Paul's Cathedral
I don't do too much architectural and / or interior photography, but this is something I'd like to do more of, when opportunities present themselves, such as they did while I was attending a show in the Minneapolis / St. Paul region in the summer of 2017. While here, a friend from overseas who at the time lived a few blocks from St. Paul's Cathedral recommended I pay this colossal church a visit, and I did just that. Although it may not have the age of similarly constructed cathedrals in Europe, the feel is remarkably similar. Available in the following sizes: 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
