I grew up in Colorado, and even lived in Denver for a short stint from 2006-2008, and yet, it took me until late 2018 to get a good photo of the beautiful city skyline. I took this photo on a fairly cold night in November, which helped to keep the air clear, and it was taken early enough in the evening that many of the office towers still had a fair number of interior lights on. The city has grown tremendously in the past couple decades, and it will be interesting to take another photo from the same location in another decade or so, and see how different the skyline looks then! 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).
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.
Seattle is a nice place. It reminds me of my (kind of) hometown of Denver, Colorado... but with an ocean. I'd love to spend some more time there. I took this photo from Kerry Park while attending a show in the city. It's a popular lookout, and, with views like this, there's no wonder why. 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 was lucky enough to spend a few days in Mount Rainier National Park during the summer of 2018. Rainier is roughly the same height as many mountains in my home state of Colorado, but because it stands there on its own, rather than as part of a particularly noticeable mountain range, it seems much larger than the mountains in my home state. I took this photo from Sunrise (northeast of the mountain, itself), at sunrise, when the day's first light illuminated the glacially-covered mountain in beautiful, orange light. 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 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. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Shoshone Falls, sometimes referred to as “Niagara of the West,” is nearly 1,000 feet wide and, at 212 feet high, 45 feet taller than Niagara Falls. The quantity of water flowing over the rim can reach up to 20,000 cubic feet per second, and, while I don't know the volume of water that was flowing when I took this photo, it seemed quite high – high enough, in fact, to generate enough mist to create not one, but two rainbows, seen on the left side of this photo! 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).
Here's yet another often photographed scene – Mormon Row, at the south end of Grand Teton National Park. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
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).
