A self portrait along a rocky cove along the southern Oregon coast at sunset.

The Olympic Coast of Washington is home to some of the wettest weather in the United States.  The slightest break in the cloud cover right before sunset yielded dramatic lighting conditions on the last night of an otherwise washed-out trip with Ryan Dyar

The conditions were perfect for shooting on this evening in Utah, so I was bound and determined to stay in this creek for as long as it took to make a decent image despite the frigid winter temperatures. It took about an hour to be able to feel my feet again

An incredible sunset along the Oregon Coast provides the perfect opportunity to showcase these wonderful sea stacks

Rainbow Falls in Watkins Glen, New York is hugely popular. But hike up in the dark and you will find you have this wonderful location all to yourself

A hike in the Columbia River Gorge accidentally led to this area that I had never seen or heard of before. It rare for me to go shoot without a specific subject in mind, so this was a wonderful and very fortunate find

Warm weather inland typically brings fog to the Southern Oregon Coast.  Dawn can be a particularly beautiful time as the warmth of day breaks through the gloom.

We ran into master photographer Chip Phillips here at sunset. It's a universal law that wherever Chip goes he gets magical conditions for photography, and sure enough, this evening was special

Fog settles through the giant redwood trees of northern California

Waves drape themselves over the rocks during a long exposure of the Washington Coast

The spray from this giant Oregon waterfall made this area almost un-shootable. With some diligent wiping and lots of cloning of water spots, I was able to piece together an image of this wonderful place

One of the best things about Iceland is just going for a drive and randomly discovering areas of pure magic just off the side of the road such as this wonderful waterfall

Rare calm falls upon Crater Lake in the Oregon Cascades at dawn

My first (probably last) attempt to photograph a waterfall with a drone. In tight confines without a GPS signal, it was all I could do to keep it out of the trees. After a lot of wrestling, I managed to capture a couple of sharp long exposures

Summer wildflowers bloom along a glacial creek bed in the Central Oregon Cascade range

Extreme Kayakers photobombed my attempt to shoot this beautiful Washington waterfall, and I'm grateful for it

One of the first images I made as a Landscape Photography enthusiast along the Oregon Coast. If only I knew then how rare it is to be able to shoot such a fiery sunset...

Sunset fades into night on the Southern Oregon Coast

Soft dawn light reflects off the towering mountains of Glacier National Park and onto the calm waters below

The tragic Eagle Creek fire caused the collapse of the overlook of beautiful Metlako Falls in Oregon. I was fortunate to experience this place in all it's beauty many times before it was lost forever

Moss blankets the trees of the Hoh Rainforest, creating a magical fairyland for photographers

A lonely leaf rests in the pools below Punchbowl Falls in the Columbia River Gorge region of Oregon. This area was ground zero for the Eagle Creek fires of 2017 and has been forever changed

Shortly before I took this image, a grey whale emerged right below my feet and scraped barnacles off its body on the sandstone cliffs. I was too stunned to take a picture of it, but I will remember it forever

The Hoh Rainforest in Washington is home to all types of greenery, including moss, ferns, and lucky clovers

The oldest image in my collection. A long exposure smooths the choppy waters of Lost Lake in Oregon and creates the illusion of ice

It was shooting this image that I saw first hand how brilliant of a photographer Ryan Dyar is. I shot several different images from a few spots while Ryan stood back and patiently waited. Finally, when I was done, he walked back, plopped his camera down and fired off one frame. His composition was, in a world, brilliant

Fog wraps like tentacles through the beautiful trees of the southern Oregon coast
