1/17/2017: Circular Polarizers: How, When, Where and Why to use them

Circular Polarizers: How, When, Where and Why to use them

In today's world of instagram filters and countless apps to edit photos with, many people are turning to an approach of shoot it quickly and edit it to your liking later on. That's fine, but that's not the way I do photography. In my opinion there is no replacement for getting it right in camera. My goal is always to achieve an image that represents a scene as close to as what I witnessed in person. Paying close attention to composition and exposure settings is paramount. There are also a couple filters I use that will do things for your images that no photo editing software can do. The first of those is a circular polarizing filter. It never leaves my bag. If you aren't already using one, you should consider it. Let me tell you why. Click on the image or here to read the article.

Yellowstone Forever Photo Contest - Honorable Mention

I recently received Honorable Mention in the 2015 "Yellowstone Forever" photo contest, the first global photography contest focused specifically on Yellowstone National Park. The contest was put on by Nature's Best Photography and The Yellowstone Park Foundation. Yellowstone is a special place to many, including myself and  remains one of my favorite places in the world to take pictures. I've spent a lot of time within the boundaries of the park and have shot thousands of images. I'm Very humbled that my image "Cloud Walker"  was chosen by the judges to place amongst the over 11,000 images from 31 countries submitted for this competition. Click here to learn more.

08/31/2015: Once in a...

Once in a...

I'm back in Wisconsin, where I grew up right now, and tonight's blue moon brought on a perfect oppportunity to make a new image. I chose the Milwaukee Breakwater Light as the main subject of my image. I was hoping for clear skies and a great view of the moonrise just after sunset and that's exactly what I got. Using a supertelephoto lens pointed out towards the lighthouse, I waited for the moon to be in just the right position. 

This image is now available for purchase. Click here to see the photo

04/21/13: Loveland Pass Avalanche

Loveland Pass Avalanche

Today I visited the site of yesterday's massive avalanche on Loveland Pass. This slide was the second most deadly in the history of Colorado, claiming five young lives. Four snowboarders and one skier were killed after a large slab of snow broke loose above them. Perhaps even more tragically, these experienced backcountry athletes were gathered  here for a backcountry safety event. This is a potent reminder of how powerful and unforgiving mother nature can be. Be safe out there.

10/18/2012: New Releases Have Arrived!

New Releases Have Arrived!

 It's already mid-October. A big wind storm moved through tonight, taking with it whatever remaining leaves were still clinging to their branches. Fresh snow covers the ground. That unmistakeable feeling of winter is already in the air. This was an amazing year for me. I took trips and made memories I won't forget. With every photograph I make, the urge to take more gets a little stronger. For me photography is about the future. It seems counter-intuitive to associate the future with an activity that is so tied to memories. But, what excites me about nature photography is that every day you're in the field you never know what you might see. What new experiences you might have. Every time you step foot into nature with your camera in hand, there is the possibility that this day will be the day you take your best photograph. And if that day comes, you realize you still want to try. Because no matter what, there is always a better photo to be taken. As I look through my current new releases, I'm thinking about how at one time they never existed, and now, they are ready to see the light of day. This gets me thinking about the blank slate of images that don't yet exist, wondering what they will come to be. Until then, Please enjoy my Fall 2012 Collection of images.

Summer Print Giveaway!

As is typical for the high country, summer has been slow to show itself. The mountains still have a well above average snowpack from our 600+ inch winter, and we received a fresh blanket of snow just last week. This has me daydreaming back to my trip in the tropical weather of the British Virgin Islands this past winter. So I thought giving away my favorite and best selling summer photo, "A Crab's World" would be the perfect prize for a new contest. Click here for the details.
