Remember the days as a kid spent laying on your back watching the clouds blow by? Those were the days! Not a worry in the world. Just kick back and enjoy the summer. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days. And then I think again. I like where I am and where [...]

I like using different formats for my photographs. I know some photographers believe that one should always shoot “full frame,” but not me. Why should I let a camera manufacturer dictate the aspect ratio that my photographs should be? I feel that the photographer should be in control of the entire process, including final cropping. [...]

Here is a sneak peek into a new portfolio that I am currently working on. Entitled Horizons, the images are all seascapes made in an abstract sort of way. The power, beauty and motion of the sea are somewhat overshadowed by the horizon line, the only truly sharp area of the photographs. This series started [...]

In landscape photography, clouds can be a very big asset. Clouds affect the background area of the image, they affect light quality, and sometimes they can be the entire subject of the image. I love chasing storms in search of the perfect clouds. I have learned to create images with or without them, but my [...]

There are photographs everywhere just waiting to be created. Many times we are too focused on the big picture that we fail to see the details, when the details can be just as interesting, or sometimes even more interesting than what we see. We must train ourselves to slow down and become observant of our [...]

“It’s cold outside.” “It’s raining and I don’t want to get the camera wet” “I didn’t have time.” The world is filled with excuses. I teach photography to high school students and I hear excuses every day. I am amazed that I hear these same excuses occasionally from “Professional” photographers as well. This is one [...]

When arriving at Multnomah Falls in early June on our way to the coast, we found it utterly chaotic. As if the swarms of people from all over the world weren’t bad enough, a wedding party had just arrived and were preparing for the arrival of the bride. We fought our way through the crowds [...]

I have a new portfolio that will soon be released at MoffettGallery.com entitled “Shorelines.” I began working on this portfolio just over one year ago while on the Oregon Coast and continued building on it in Hawaii last January. This Spring, I started incorporating some of the techniques I was using into some new images [...]

The road to Gotts Point is a favorite location of mine for an early morning stroll with my camera and tripod. It is always quiet, allowing me to think deeply about whatever is on my mind. It is a great place to meditate and ponder, and as I do I feel invigorated and ready to [...]

The Sawtooth Mountains are one of my favorite places to visit. The cool, fresh morning air makes waking up a pleasure. The scenery is incredible, especially first thing in the morning. Saturday I had the pleasure of being at Alturas Lake at sunrise. We had a light fog that created a mood and feeling that [...]
