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).
Cathedral Rock and Oak Creek Portrait
I've visited Crescent Moon Picnic Area, in Sedona, Arizona, many times, and while it is always beautiful, it was on this visit, in the spring of 2018, that the conditions finally worked out how I wanted them to. Storm clouds above, direct light hitting Cathedral Rock in the background, water flowing through Oak Creek in the foreground, and freshly-green leaves on the trees along the shore all came together to create this photo. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72.

Vernal Falls is another Yosemite icon, but it is one that actually requires a bit of a hike to reach. I was lucky to have the weather I did for this hike, because the sunlight was powerful enough to create the rainbow made by the mist generated by Vernal Falls' 318 foot drop. Available in the following sizes (Square): 10x10, 12x12, 16x16, 20x20, 24x24, 30x30, 36x36, 42x42, 48x48.
Half Dome is one of Yosemite's most famous icons. I took this photo of Half Dome in the clouds with a telephoto lens as the sun set, seeming to set the mountain's western-facing slope on fire. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24, 40x30.
Afternoon Panorama in Yosemite
Yosemite's famous “Tunnel View,” featuring, from left to right, El Capitan, Half Dome (partially obscured by clouds), and Bridalveil Falls. 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).

Yosemite National Park is a truly magical place. I was fortunate enough to be here when it snowed, which upped the beauty to eleven. The mountain which is just being kissed by the day's first light in this photo is called the Cathedral, and I love the reflection I was able to get in this photo. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Snowy Sunrise Panorama in Yosemite
Everyone that goes to Yosemite National Park, in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, is familiar with this scene. Made iconic by Ansel Adams, it even has a name – Tunnel View. (This location is at the mouth of a tunnel that allows one to access areas of the National Park other than the valley.) Many of Yosemite's most famous landmarks are visible from this location, including (from left to right), El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Falls. While this scene is beautiful at any time of day, seeing it at sunrise after a night in which it had snowed six or so inches was truly special. 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).

Hot Creek, which lies in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range, begins as Mammoth Creek, and is made primarily of snow melt … so it isn't exactly hot. It eventually goes along to join warmer water from geothermal springs at the Hot Creek State Fish Hatchery. Even here, it isn't exactly 'hot,' seldom reaching temperatures higher than 68 degrees, but that's hot enough to justify the name. The way the stream curves back and forth, leading one's eye to what I believe is Sharktooth Peak is composition heaven. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 8x12, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36, 30x45, 40x60, 48x72.
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. I took this photo here, shortly after sunrise. Mt. Whitney – the tallest mountain in the lower 48 States – can be seen in the upper, right hand corner of the 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).

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.
Mount Whitney, at 14,505 feet in elevation, is the tallest mountain in the lower 48 States. I took this photo of Mt. Whitney shortly after sunset, when it's colors were at their most subdued. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30.
Inyo National Forest, in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, is home to the tallest mountain in the continental US – Mt. Whitney. And while Whitney is the highlight of Inyo National Forest, there's much more to it. I don't know the name of this particular peak – it is one of countless less famous mountains throughout the National Forest. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30.
Joshua Tree National Park, in southern California, gets its name from the yukka-like Joshua trees that abound in the park. My favorite part of this National Park, though, is the rocks. Rock formations like those in this photo are scattered throughout the park, and are especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset, when the horizontal light brings the colors to life! 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).
This photo looks like some clouds in the desert. But what looks like clouds is actually sand blowing around. The drive I was on when I stopped to take this photo was absolutely miserable. The wind was trying to blow my van off the road for hours and hours, as I made my way through the desert in southeast California. But all that pain eventually paid off when I arrived in the Sierra Nevadas, where I spent the next week or so shooting some of the most spectacular scenery this country has to offer. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
Chiricahua National Monument is out-of-the-way, and being designated a National Monument, rather than a National Park, it doesn't get too many visitors. But it is utterly unique, with countless stone columns, called hoodoos, dotting the high desert landscape. I have only visited the Monument once, and this is the view I was treated to shortly after sunrise. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle D): 40x10, 48x12, 64x16, 64x16 Triptych (3 x 21x16), 80x20, 80x20 Triptych (3 x 27x20), 96x24, 96x24 Triptych (3 x 32x24), 120x30 Triptych (3 x 40x30), 144x36 Triptych (3 x 48x36), 168x42 Triptych (3 x 56x42), 192x48 Triptych (3 x 64x48).
