The cool summer mornings at Stanley Lake are quite refreshing. There is nothing better for cleansing the mind and getting a fresh start. It seems that when I get out like this I can put the stresses of life behind me and just enjoy the beauty that this world has to offer. When returning home [...]

Cloud abstracts
Posted in Black and White, Photographic Philosophy, Ramblings on Aug 30th, 2010
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 [...]
On one of our trips to Stanley, Idaho, we went up to the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge. On the way back down we stopped here to do some fishing in the rain. The fishing was really slow, so I began looking for photography opportunities. When the clouds broke just a bit, this view opened up. [...]
I have spent many hours on this dock fishing with my kids. This particular night, however, just after sunset the dock emptied and was a perfect subject for a photograph. After shooting, though, I did get out my fishing pole and Christeena and I caught some fish. We had a great time watching the light [...]
Brewing Storm, Bear Lake
Posted in Color, Family, Landscape, Ramblings on Aug 20th, 2010
A couple of weeks ago I was at a family reunion at Bear Lake in Southeast Idaho. It started out a great day, warm and sunny. A perfect day for the lake. It didn’t take long to change. This thunderstorm rolled over the mountain and within just a few minutes everything turned dark. We could [...]
Timing: Redfish Lake Marina
Posted in Landscape, Photographic Philosophy, Ramblings on Aug 16th, 2010
When in Stanley, I struggle over whether to photograph in the morning or go fishing. Last week Photography won out! I still got in plenty of fishing, but the early mornings were perfect for making photographs. On Friday morning as Christeena and I left our campground at about 6:00 the sky was clear and temperature [...]
Gone Fishing!
Posted in Ramblings on Aug 13th, 2010
We all need a break once in a while, and my time has come! I will have students returning to my Photography Classroom next week, and so this is my last chance to get away for a couple of days. I am going fishing… yes, I will have my camera as well, but my number [...]
Why Photograph?
Posted in Color, Photographic Philosophy, Ramblings on Aug 11th, 2010
Why do I photograph? Because I need to! I got my first camera when I was about 8 or 9 years old, and have been documenting life and the world we live in since then. My reasons to shoot and my photographic philosophies have changed over the years, but I still have a need to [...]
What is it about sunsets that we all enjoy? Each one is so different, not one the same or even similar. I have my own ideas why we all enjoy them so much. Maybe your ideas are different. I would love to hear others views. All day long we view the world in cold, blue [...]
With the high temperatures that we have been having, I thought it would be nice to cool down with winter image today. Christeena and I were on a weekend getaway and decided to brave the sub-freezing temperatures to make some images of a beautiful winter morning on the lake. We try to get away occasionally [...]
