Horizontal Panoramas
“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, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48), 162x54 Triptych (3 x 54x54), 180x60 Triptych (3 x 60x60).

When driving from a show in California to a show in Arizona during the fall of 2019, I had an extra day, and decided to spend it in one of my favorite National Parks – Death Valley. Although miserable in the summer, the temperature is usually pleasant in late October, such as it was when I was there. I only had one morning to shoot, but I got the most of it, shooting primarily in the Mesquite Flat Dunes, shown here. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).
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): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36), 80x40, 80x40 Triptych (3 x 27x40), 96x48, 96x48 Triptych (3 x 32x48), 108x54, 108x54 Triptych (3 x 36x54), 120x60, 120x60 Triptych (3 x 40x60).
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): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48), 162x54 Triptych (3 x 54x54), 180x60 Triptych (3 x 60x60).
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, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).
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, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 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 (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).
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, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48), 135x54 Triptych (3 x 45x54), 150x60 Triptych (3 x 50x60).
Omaha from the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge

Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36), 80x40, 80x40 Triptych (3 x 27x40), 96x48, 96x48 Triptych (3 x 32x48), 108x54, 108x54 Triptych (3 x 36x54), 120x60, 120x60 Triptych (3 x 40x60).
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, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48).
There's something very nice about shooting cityscapes that feature a lot of water. Milwaukee is one of those cities that allows a photographer to do just that. I took this photo of the Milwaukee skyline from Veterans Park, and used the lakeside path as a leading line to guide a viewer's eye into the photo. And with the buildings as nicely-lit as they were on the evening I took the photo, I thought\ using Lake Michigan to reflect the skyline was a good choice. Available in the following sizes (Panorama A): 20x10, 24x12, 32x16, 40x20, 48x24, 60x30, 60x30 Triptych (3 x 20x30), 72x36, 72x36 Triptych (3 x 24x36).
There's something very nice about shooting cityscapes that feature a lot of water. Milwaukee is one of those cities that allows a photographer to do just that. I took this photo of the Milwaukee skyline from the pier that extends from Harbor House, and shooting from this location allowed me to place the Milwaukee Art Museum prominently in the foreground. I took the photo shortly after sunset, while some oranges, pinks, and purples were still visible in the sky to the west. Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48), 162x54 Triptych (3 x 54x54), 180x60 Triptych (3 x 60x60).
Starting in 2018, every time I visited a new city, and had the opportunity to do so, I made it a point to try and photograph the city skyline. I took this photo in the spring of 2019, when two back-to-back Florida art shows gave me the opportunity to photograph some of the State's larger cities. This panorama, which was taken from the MacArthur Causeway bridge that links the mainland to Jungle Island, focuses on downtown Miami. Available in the following sizes (Panorama B): 30x12, 40x16, 50x20, 60x24, 75x30, 75x30 Triptych (3 x 25x30), 90x36, 90x36 Triptych (3 x 30x36), 105x42, 105x42 Triptych (3 x 35x42), 120x48, 120x48 Triptych (3 x 40x48).

This ultrawide panorama, which was taken from the MacArthur Causeway bridge that links the mainland to Jungle Island, shows downtown Miami (on the left), as well as some of the city's high-end hotels and condos on the right. Available in the following sizes (Panorama D): 40x10, 48x12, 64x16, 80x20, 96x24, 96x24 Triptych (3 x 32x24), 120x30, 120x30 Triptych (3 x 40x30), 144x36 Triptych (3 x 48x36), 168x42 Triptych (3 x 56x42), 192x48 Triptych (3 x 64x48).
Miami and the Venetian Causeway Bridge
Starting in 2018, every time I visited a new city, and had the opportunity to do so, I made it a point to try and photograph the city skyline. I took this photo in the spring of 2019, when two back-to-back Florida art shows gave me the opportunity to photograph some of the State's larger cities. This photo of Miami features the Venetian Causeway bridge, as well as the waterfront neighborhoods of Edgewater, Beverly Terrace, and Buena Vista, and was taken from the MacArthur Causeway bridge that links the mainland to Jungle Island. This photo would have been beautiful even with a clear blue sky, but the beautiful clouds really tie it all together! Available in the following sizes (Panorama C): 30x10, 36x12, 48x16, 60x20, 72x24, 90x30, 90x30 Triptych (3 x 30x30), 108x36, 108x36 Triptych (3 x 36x36), 120x40, 120x40 Triptych Triptych (3 x 40x40), 144x48 Triptych (3 x 48x48).

I took this photo in the spring of 2019, when two back-to-back Florida art shows gave me the opportunity to photograph some of the State's larger cities. This photo of Orlando was taken from the eastern shore of Lake Eola – which is actually a sinkhole! - and was famously gifted to the city by wealthy Orlando resident Jacob Summerlin, who stipulated that if the land weren't made and kept beautiful by the city, in order for all citizens to be able to enjoy it, the park could be retaken by his heirs. The fountain in the lake is one of many symbols of the City of Orlando. Available in the following sizes (Panorama D): 40x10, 48x12, 64x16, 80x20, 96x24, 96x24 Triptych (3 x 32x24), 120x30, 120x30 Triptych (3 x 40x30), 144x36 Triptych (3 x 48x36), 168x42 Triptych (3 x 56x42), 192x48 Triptych (3 x 64x48), 216x54 Triptych (3 x 72x54), 240x60 Triptych (3 x 80x60).
