“The Strip,” in Las Vegas, has been photographed countless times. And for good reason - it is, if nothing else, one of the most brightly-lit streets in the US. But when I was passing through Las Vegas in the fall of 2019, I wanted to shoot the city from a non-traditional location. After looking at some maps of the region, I found “Exploration Peak Park,” which is located several miles southwest of downtown and allows for a good view of the city. 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).

San Francisco is one of the more modern skylines in America, and, in my opinion, one of the prettiest. But San Francisco is associated to such a degree with the Golden Gate Bridge, that almost any search for a photo of San Francisco will return images of the bridge, with the city, perhaps, as an afterthought. I wanted to get a photo of downtown San Francisco without its most famous icon, and a bit of research led me to the top of Twin Peaks, where I took this photo. I think it turned out spectacularly! 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).
The Golden Gate Bridge has been shot to death, but this doesn't make it any less beautiful. I was lucky enough to be in the San Francisco area when there was a full moon, and I found a location from which I was able to capture the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, and the nearly full moon in a single frame. I couldn't have asked for better lighting than I got on the night I took this photo. Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 48x24 Triptych (3 x 16x24), 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36), 80x40, 80x40 Triptych (3 x 27x40), 96x48, 96x48 Triptych (3 x 32x48).
Des Moines and the Martin Luther King Junior Bridge Panorama
In the summer of 2019, I found myself in Des Moines, Iowa, in order to appear at an art show. As I'd made tradition the year before, I used this opportunity to photograph the city. I took this photo from the East bank of the Des Moines River, just upstream of where it joins the Raccoon River, looking across the Martin Luther King Junior Parkway bridge, into downtown. This photo was taken well after sunset, but I left the lens open long enough to capture the little bit of remaining blue in the night sky, and keep the buildings and bridge in the photo properly lit. 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).

Des Moines from the State Capitol (portrait)
In the summer of 2019, I found myself in Des Moines, Iowa, in order to appear at an art show. As I'd made tradition the year before, I used this opportunity to photograph the city. I took this photo from the State Capitol – an unusual and beautiful building in its own right – shortly after a beautiful sunset, while there was still enough ambient light to light up the sky in a long exposure, while keeping the lit-up buildings nicely lit. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 20x24, 24x30, 30x40, 40x50, 48x60.

Indianapolis over the White River
I was passing through Indiana in 2019, and seized the opportunity to photograph the capitol city, Indianapolis. There are more than a few good locations from which to view the downtown skyline, but I took this one from the western shore of the White River, with the skyline in the back. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle 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 defining object of the Saint Louis skyline is without a doubt the 630-foot tall Gateway Arch, which was completed in 1965. It truly makes the Saint Louis skyline instantly recognizable. Unfortunately, the best place to view downtown Saint Louis and the Gateway Arch is across the Mississippi River, in East Saint Louis, which is often cited as the most dangerous city in America. So I wasn't particularly keen on walking around the area with $10,000 in camera gear around my neck, but eventually decided to give it a go. My gear is insured, after all! And my experience was just as “boring” (I wasn't shot...) as I hoped it would be. I'm really happy with the photos I got here. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

I started shooting cityscapes in 2018, and I was an artist at the Omaha Summer Arts Festival in early June, 2019. I took this opportunity to get some photos of the beautiful skyline of Omaha. The Missouri River – much like most of the rivers in the midwest during the summer of 2019 – was flowing extremely high when I took this photo, which allowed for some non-typical shots of the city. 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).

Milwaukee is one of those cities that allows a photographer to use a body of water (in this case, Lake Michigan) in the foreground to enhance the photo. I took this photo of the Milwaukee skyline from Veterans Park, and chose to omit any water, since I'd already captured several photos of the skyline prominently featuring Lake Michigan in the foreground. I'm happy with how it turned out, since it forces one to really appreciate the architecture and the lighting, rather than simply being captivated by a reflection. 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).
