Canyon Zen
I am back home after 8 days of shooting on the Plateau and Navajo lands of northern Arizona. The weather was mostly bright and sunny, so I focused a good deal of my energy on shooting slot canyons.

Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge at Twilight
Sunset locations are a rare commodity in Charleston. Last evening we finally had some clouds roll in after two days of bright blue skies and high winds, very difficult working conditions! After shooting for awhile in Magnolia Gardens, I took the group to Patriots Point in hopes of catching the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge illuminated at twilight. [...]

Four Favorite Images from Valley of Fire State Park
A few weeks ago I found myself in Valley of Fire State Park once again leading a photography workshop. Valley of Fire has become a favorite location of mine for it’s unique and colorful sandstone geology. No other location, as far as I know, has such a rich concentration of dramatic sandstone in one place. [...]
Brain Rock-in It At White Pocket
Just last week I had another chance to visit the remote and wild country of the Paria/Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness of extreme northern Arizona. After catching an early morning flight out of Baltimore, I arrived in Sin City at 9:30am and quickly got straight the hell out of there. I can’t stand Las Vegas!! After driving [...]
Never Stop Exploring
For the past eight days I have been in Jackson, Wyoming shooting landscapes and fall color, as well as leading a photo tour of Grand Teton National Park. Everyday I was up at 4am and often didn’t get to bed until after 11pm. Exhausted at the end of the trip I drove five hours south [...]
On the Road in Iceland
We have been shooting and exploring the southern coast of the island for the past few days. The weather has been challenging to say the least, but I expect none the less. Two nights ago we were treated to some nice light at Jökulsárlón shooting the iceberg lagoon and the black sand beach marooned with [...]
Greetings From Iceland, A Nature Photographers Paradise
Amazing! What else can I say about this place. Being my first trip to the Island, I was not entirely sure what to expect. So far, I have been blow away by not only the sheer beauty of the Island, but also the culture and the Icelanders I have had the pleasure of meeting along [...]
Snow Geese Lift-off at first light, Prime Hook NWR, Delaware
After receiving several reports that the Snow Geese had arrived to the Delaware Bay in large numbers, I decided to have a run at capturing this amazing natural phenomenon this morning. I left my house at 4:30am to make the two-hour drive to Prime Hook NWR in time to hopefully catch the geese at first [...]
Mirror on the Marsh, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, Maryland
I am always in search of mirror reflections and the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland’s Eastern Shore is loaded with still waters, a landscape photographers dream. You won’t find any big mountains to reflect in the waters here, so it is always important to have a great sky. Fact is though, they just don’t happen all [...]
Coral Cove Sunset, Jupiter Island, Florida (Joseph Rossbach)
Arriving on Jupiter Island in the early afternoon I went straight to Coral Cove to scout out this location. I was surprised at how little an area of rock it was. I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting, but it seemed like it would have been more expansive. At any rate, the rocks [...]
Florida’s Wild Palm Coast (Joseph Rossbach)
Well it’s not actually all that wild compared to the Everglades or Big Cypress, but how wild can anyplace really be when there are multi-million dollar homes, all night gas stations and beach front high rises only ten minutes walk from this location. Either way, my visit to Washington Oaks Garden State Park this morning [...]
Oregon Brook, Northest Kingdom, Vermont
While in Vermont this past fall I took the opportunity to visit a little known brook in the Northeast Kingdom that I discovered almost 10 years ago. I first photographed this stream when I was still shooting large format film, and I have dreamed of visiting ever since then hoping to get the right water [...]
Cottonwood Canyon, Virgin River Narrows, Zion National Park, Utah
I spent the other day hiking the famous Narrows of the Virgin River in Zion National Park. This hike is my all time favorite in the park for several reasons.First and foremost, I love to work water and there is no better place in the park that provides incredible water juxtaposed with the shear vertical [...]
