Eyes Wide Open

Eye Wide open-1

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.

The Gate to Eternity

The Gate to Eternity Fine Art Photography

I knew this Sea Cave was a must shot for me but wasn’t sure if a high tide would ruin my vision. The tide was even better than I had expected. In my mind the shot had to represent a sacred gate that leads to anywhere you want it to. By slowing down my shutter speed on my camera, it allowed me to create the misty entrance to The Gate To Eternity. To see more view here

Road to Paradise

Nestled in the small cove protected by San Simeon Point, and somewhat out of sight of the cars passing nearby on Highway 1, this pier is located in the William R. Hearst Memorial State Beach. I can still recall the perfect morning breeze with the small scent of salt. The Road to Paradise is a Limited Edition print of only 300 images. To view more click here

The Perfect Moment

theperfectmoment

Have you ever experienced the perfect moment? The perfect moment for me is when everything around you is working in such a way that it might never happen again. I know when the perfect moment is surrounding me because the goose bumps appear and I hope it never ends. The light, the color, the reflection, the breeze, the smell and sound. I’m glad my friend on the left rock experienced it with me. The Perfect Moment is a limited edition of only 50 prints and can be viewed here.

Perfect Harmony

I was listing to music and going through my six years of work, when I came across this image.  It was one of those days where you feel like the universe is working against you.  I had been working on my seasonal gallery all day with my designer and nothing was flowing.  This image has everything that inspires me; the ocean, the breeze, the moment, the smell and most importantly, the sound of the stream working perfectly with the subtle ocean waves.  This image reflects perfect harmony.  It inspired me and helped me find perspective on a challenging day.  I hope it does the same for you.  Click here to view the full image:

Upcoming Events:

  • Nov 15th – Dec 31st the Seasonal Gallery will be open.  Located on the 2nd level, next to Greenberg Diamonds and across from Pac Sun.  The gallery is coming along nicely.  I’m very excited to be opening it soon.

Thank you for being a part of my journey!

Two Lights

Two Lights

Portland Head Lighthouse is located in Portland, Maine and was the first lighthouse completed by the United States government. The government set aside $750.00 for a lighthouse at Portland Head in 1787, but the project would not be completed until the First Congress passed the Lighthouse act in 1789, which placed lighthouses under control for the federal government. Portland Head Lighthouse was the first lighthouse completed under the act, after Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton allocated a sum not exceeding $1500.00 in August of 1790 to finish the lighthouse on Portland Head.

I spent 7 mornings and 7 evenings waiting for perfect light so I could do this historic lighthouse justice. I’m not one to spend so much time at one location, but felt the potential would be incredible if I was patient with it. There is something so special about being around the ocean, by yourself, in complete darkness, anticipating the perfect moment, while listening to a soundtrack of crashing waves. I personally love the color tones, especially in the ocean and how the rocks and sky are somehow working together in texture.  “Two Lights”, is a limited edition print of only 300 images and can be purchased here.
