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).
Ice Forming in Hudson Bay's Coves
The scenery around Churchill, Manitoba, Canada – the “Polar Bear Capitol of the World” - is fairly boring, but beautiful in a unique way. It is extremely flat, and although there are trees, they never get very big. And, needless to say, it is cold in the winter. I didn't come to Churchill to photograph landscapes, but on the one sunny day of my trip, I saw this view and couldn't resist getting one nice landscape shot. The sea ice was in the process of forming on Hudson Bay while I was here, and can be seen close to the shore. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.
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).
I went on a Pacific Northwest trip during the summer of 2018, in which I intended only on shooting Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. But, as they so often do, my plans changed, and I ended up missing Idaho, but getting a bit of Northern California thrown into the mix. The coastline in Northern California is spectacular, and although I hadn't planned in advance on visiting False Klamath Cove, this photo that I took there, shortly before sunset, ended up being on of my favorites from the entire trip! Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 10x20, 12x24, 16x32, 20x40, 24x48, 24x48 Triptych (3 x 24x16), 30x60, 30x60 Triptych (3 x 30x20), 36x72, 36x72 Triptych (3 x 36x24), 40x80, 40x80 Triptych (3 x 40x27), 48x96, 48x96 Triptych (3 x 48x32).
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).
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.

Winter in Kings Canyon National Park
The highlight of a visit to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, in California's spectacular Sierra Nevada mountain range, must be the giant sequoias, also known as giant redwoods. These trees grow to an average height of 164 to 279 feet, and an average diameter of 20 to 26 feet. They can live for more than 3,000 years. I was lucky enough to visit these giants in April, 2018, and expected spring conditions. I was thrilled (and cold) when it snowed, though, completely transforming the sights available. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle B): 12x8, 18x12, 24x16, 30x20, 36x24, 45x30, 60x40, 72x48.

Another one of those instances of dumb luck making all the difference in the world. I only had one or two days in Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. I was there in mid-April, and anticipated spring conditions. Although the unexpected snow made it cold, and made camping that much less comfortable, it was a blessing, overall, since my photos certainly wouldn't have turned out as well if there had been blue skies and green grass. The tree in this photo is the General Grant Tree, in King's Canyon National Park, and it is the second largest tree in the world. It has a diameter of just under 30 feet at its base, and it stretches 267 feet into the air. It's pretty big. Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 10x30, 12x36, 16x48, 16x48 Triptych (3 x 16x16), 20x60, 20x60 Triptych (3 x 20x20), 24x72, 24x72 Triptych (3 x 24x24), 30x90, 30x90 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 36x108 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 42x126 Triptych (3 x 42x42), 48x144 Triptych (3 x 48x48).
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.
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).

Fern Spring, in Yosemite National Park, is on the side of the road, and is a favorite with local photographers. This bubbling spring is so perfect, it is hard to believe it is natural. It really looks designed. The water is unbelievably clear. I took a long-exposure here to give the water the flowing look shown. Available in the following sizes (Rectangle A): 10x8, 14x11, 20x16, 24x20, 30x24, 40x30, 50x40, 60x48.
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).
