Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Picture: Fall colors on trees in the White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire. If you don’t like High Capacity Electrical Transmission Towers and Wires running through your scenic photos, or even just your view for that matter, I’d like to ask you to check out (and possibly help fund) a project started by friend and [...]

Monday, February 25th, 2013

Picture: Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park, California This month I was fortunate to spend a week traveling through Death Valley as the guest of some friends who were leading a photo workshop.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

It was the first time I’ve been there in years, and only the second time that I’ve been there since the plane crash that [...]
