Horizontal Panoramas
My favorite views of Southwest Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park are from the south, at Inspiration Point, and Bryce Point. When I came to visit in late February, 2019, the park was buried under far more snow than is typical, and both of these viewpoints were, at least when I arrived, closed. By my second morning in the park, though, Bryce Point was made reachable, and it was from here that I captured this image, shortly after sunrise. 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).

When I came to visit in late February, 2019, the park was buried under far more snow than is typical, and both of these viewpoints were, at least when I arrived, closed. But the National Parks employees came through, and cleared enough snow that they were both soon made reachable . I took this photo from Inspiration Point, as the sun set off-camera. The setting sun did manage to light the clouds to the west up with a vibrant pink light, which offset the blues, oranges, and whites elsewhere in the photo perfectly. 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).

But the National Parks employees came through, and cleared enough snow that they were both soon made reachable . I took this photo from Inspiration Point, shortly before sunset, and chose to really focus on the hoodoos (the orange pillars for which the park is famous), instead of the canyon as a whole. Although beautiful any time of year, Bryce is simply otherworldly when buried in snow. 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).
During the winter of 2019, I was an artist at the Arizona Fine Art Expo, in Scottsdale, Arizona. In mid- to late February, I kept reading about an epic amount of snow that was falling in southwest Utah, and Bryce Canyon National Park, in particular. Being only an eight-hour drive away, I decided to take a couple days off work to go see this once in a decade (lifetime?) event. This panoramic photo, taken at sunrise, was the first I saw of the park, since I'd arrived after dark, the night before. Needless to say, the drive proved well worth it, and I was able to spend another day and a half shooting these spectacular conditions in this utterly beautiful park. 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).
Winter Sunset at Zion Canyon Overlook
Utah is spectacular any time of the year, but to me, there's something special about snow in the desert. I think that the white of snow compliments blue skies and orange rocks perfectly. I took this photo as the sun was setting, from Zion Canyon Overlook, in Zion National Park, shortly after a good snowfall in southwest Utah, in February, 2019. I offer a similar version of this photo, but, after taking it, decided I should have a more panoramic offering as well. Thus, this photo! The last light of the day saturating the cliff walls on the right side of this photo really bring it all together. 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).
“The Wave,” in northern Arizona, was made famous by a Windows XP wallpaper many years ago. It subsequently became famous enough that, in order to keep the wilderness wild, the Bureau of Land Management decided to allow access to only twenty people per day, decided by a lottery. I'd wanted to visit “The Wave” for several years before I finally won a ticket to visit in late January, 2019. The entire region is spectacular, filled with otherworldly geologic formations and beautiful rocks in shades of pink, orange, red, and yellow. After finishing my visit to The Wave, I wasn't really in the mood to begin the 8-hour drive back to Scottsdale, where I was participating in an art show, so I decided to camp out close to the nearby Paria Townsite, just north of The Wave, and took this photo while the sun was low on the horizon, lighting this hill up beautifully. Available in the following sizes (Panorama 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).

The entire region is spectacular, filled with otherworldly geologic formations and beautiful rocks in shades of pink, orange, red, and yellow. This formation can be found by hiking out beyond The Wave, and is called, most creatively, “The Second Wave.” I've talked to many photographers who think The Second Wave is more beautiful than The Wave, but haven't been able to make up my own mind. What do you think? 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).

I won a backcountry permit to visit “The Wave” in Arizona's Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness in late January, 2019. It is a location I'd been wanting to visit for years. I came up from the south, and decided I ought to hit Horseshoe Bend along the way. I timed my trip to allow me to shoot here at sunset, and the clouds turned out to be more cooperative than on my previous visit a few years earlier. If one is set up properly, the chance to get the “sunstar” effect shown in this photo lasts for probably less than a minute, as the sun dips below the horizon. Fortunately, I was set up properly, and got this awesome panorama out of it! 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).
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).
I was an artist exhibiting at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta show in 2018, and decided I should try to get a photo of the city of Albuquerque. I talked to several locals, and the consensus seemed to be that the best view of the city is from “Sandia Crest,” which is the top of a mountain to the northeast of town. The elevation of Sandia Crest is roughly one mile higher than that of Albuquerque, so it was quite cold when I took this photo, but the view was worth it. Notice the aspen changing color in the bottom portion of the photo! 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).
Kansas City from Kaw Point 2018
During the fall of 2018, I did a quick tour of cities on the East Coast, and the Midwest. One of the cities I was fortunate enough to photograph was Kansas City, Missouri. I did a quick Google search for the best places to photograph the Kansas City skyline, and near the top of the list was Kaw Point, which is the location from which I took this photo. I like that I was able to get the entire city skyline reflected in the Missouri River. 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).
During the fall of 2018, I did a quick tour of cities on the East Coast, and the Midwest. One of the cities I was fortunate enough to photograph was Kansas City, Missouri, and the best view of the city – in my opinion – is from the World War One Museum and Memorial. The most prominent building shown in this photo is Union Station. 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).
In the fall of 2019, I did a quick tour of Eastern states and midwest cities, in an attempt to diversify my photography portfolio. Louisville, shown here, is quite a beautiful city, especially when viewed from the Indiana side of the Ohio River. The John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge is visible on the bottom of the photo. 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 spent a single night in Cincinnati in the fall of 2018, in the middle of a photographic trip in which I visited a different large American city each night. I'd never visited Cincinnati prior to this visit, and I didn't know what to expect. It may have been the most pleasantly-surprising cityscape I saw on this trip. The city is really beautiful! 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).
