Cleanse
This was a brutal hike with 50 lbs. of camera gear on my back in the pouring rain. It was a constant uphill and downhill battle with slippery paths and rocks. It was the rainy season in the jungle at Tenorio Volcano National Park, in northwestern Guanacaste Province. The sound of exotic birds and flowing water was so amplified it sounded like a stereo. I purposely wanted the hanging vines to frame this majestic waterfall. For more on this image click here
Eyes Wide Open
Eye’s Wide Open was captured around Crested Butte, Colorado.
As much as I love photographing the ocean, photographing aspen trees in the fall is right up there. There is so much color you can play with surrounding these pearly whites. The slight yellow and green color within this shot makes me happy.
The aspens are all native to cold regions with cool summers, in the north of the Northern Hemisphere, extending south at high altitudes in the mountains. They are all medium-sized deciduous trees reaching 15–30 m (49–98 ft) tall. Aspens do not thrive in the shade, and it is difficult for seedlings to grow in an already mature aspen stand.
Eye Wide Open is a Limited Edition of only 300 prints and can be viewed here.
Zen
I was inspired to release “Zen” per a conversation I had with a woman who was in my gallery last week. She collects Fine Art Photography and I was curious to know what type of Nature Photography she connected with. She connects to color and not necessarily the scene. Wow, that took me back to my previous career in the music business. Men for the most part don’t listen to lyrics, we like songs because of the beat or the instrumental part.
Lewis River runs through Oregon and dumps into Lower Lewis Falls. I wasn’t feeling the waterfall so I began my hike up the river to see if I could find something that would inspire me. Well, I definitely found something inspiring and that was the sound of smooth running water, with blues, greens and different colors going on in the river rocks. Love, Love, Love the blues and greens in this shot. “Zen” is a limited edition print and can be viewed here.
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays.
Everything in it’s Right Place
Have you ever had a song get stuck in your head and you find yourself thinking about it, or God forbid, singing it over and over? Remember, “Chumbawamba”? It can be pretty annoying at times. I also have the problem of getting images stuck in my head and I can’t shut them out of my mind. Sometimes it’s a photo I haven’t taken yet or sometimes it is one I have. Some days I’ll look at it several times and other times weeks go by and I don’t think about it.
Images to me are songs. Today I was getting stuff ready in the gallery before we opened and Radiohead’s, “Everything in It’s Right Place”, came on. I immediately connected to it and turned the volume up. It was such a great moment to just sit there and enjoy a song I’ve heard a 100 times but it just sounded different today. I couldn’t get this image out of my mind during that moment.
My question to you is when you see this image what song comes to mind?
Everything in it’s Right Place was taken in San Diego around La Jolla Cove. I’m only printing five of “Everything in Its Right Place”. To view go here.
