Recent Work from The Desert and the West Virginia Highlands
These image represent the last 45 days of shooting. I have travelled far and wide and have missed my family greatly. I am now at home getting caught up on work, processing and trip planning for this summer and beyond. I am enjoying the opportunity to get some much needed rest and quality time with [...]

Layers of Light, Bear Rocks, Dolly Sods, West Virginia
Mountain ridges and morning fog at sunrise from the top of Bear Rocks, Dolly Sods Wilderness, West Virginia. I love atmosphere! I am always searching it out when creating my images. On this warm morning last weekend in the mountains of West Virgina, I got up well before dawn and made my way out to [...]
Douglas Falls, Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia
I spent the last 10 days on the road, first leading a private workshop for the Charlottesville Camera Club, and then spending a week road-tripping and camping with my son in New England. This is an image I made over the workshop from Douglas Falls just outside of Thomas, WV. I climbed down onto the [...]
Recent Work from West Virginia
I have been laying low lately spending a good deal of time working on a few projects including redesign of this website, adding products to our new eStore and brainstorming on the 2013 Photo Tour/Workshop schedule that will most likely include Iceland (again), Navajo Country and the Grand Canyon, Zion & Bryce in the fall, [...]
Time Stand Stills, Dolly Sods West Virginia
I just spent the past six days in the mountains of West Virginia leading a private tour. The weather was rather pleasant with temps in the low 70′s and lots of clear skies. Not so great for capturing dramatic landscape scenes, but we made the bet of it and came away with some great new [...]
Springtime in West Virginia
My favorite thing about shooting in West Virginia is the lack of people and more importantly the lack of photographers. I feel almost bad for folks who live out west. I mean not too bad! They have drop dead scenery and huge areas of wilderness just waiting to be explored, but there are far too [...]
New Workshop Venues Scheduled for this Spring
We are excited to announce three new spring workshops from late March through May. These venues include the wildly beautiful and historic Magnolia Plantation of South Carolina, spring blooms at Brookside Gardens in Maryland, and waterfalls of Blackwater Falls State Park, Douglas Falls and Swallow Falls State Park. Spring Flowers and Abstract Techniques @ Brookside [...]
New eBook, West Virginia: Adventures in Light
I am excited to announce my fourth eBook, West Virginia: Adventures in Light. West Virginia holds a secret! Its mountains offer up some of the most beautiful landscapes in the United States. From the rugged and windswept plateau of Dolly Sods to the roaring waterfalls of Blackwater Falls State Park, the Appalachian and Allegheny chain [...]
Behind the Falls, Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia
Last spring I had the chance to visit a little known waterfall in West Virginia. I have been down to this location twice before, but the conditions were never right and thus I was unsuccessful in capturing a compelling shot. This waterfall and a series of several others are in Blackwater Falls State Park in [...]
Elegant Elakala, Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia
If you want to create an image like this you have to be willing to get wet and put your gear at risk. If you’re not putting your gear at risk of being destroyed, then you’re not going to be able to capture an angle such as this. Just purchase some equipment insurance and dive [...]
