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. [...]

A sunset is not just about the sunset. While the color is what pulls us in, there must also be something to hold our attention. I am always searching for that “something.” It can be in the foreground, it could be the horizon line, maybe an interesting silhouette or maybe some birds. Just about anything [...]

As a landscape photographer I am always watching the sky. An interesting sky can really add to an image. Sometimes it is the image. Such is the case here. Something I have learned through the years is to always be prepared. If you don’t have your camera, you can’t make the photograph. I was on [...]
After 2 days of heavy clouds, we finally saw the sun, albeit only for about 8 minutes as it hit the horizon at sunset. This image was taken just after the sun descended below the horizon and left a nice glow in the western sky. This time of the evening is becoming my favorite time [...]
