Picture: Aspen trees in Fall along Dunderberg Meadow Road, Eastern Sierra, California Over the course of the last week, I’ve been a hermit crab(be). I ducked into a hotel in South Lake Tahoe at the beginning of last week to take coverfrom an unseasonably early winter storm. Normally I’d say fall storm since we were [...]

Picture: Aspen leaves in early Fall, Lundy Canyon, Eastern Sierra, California I’ve spent the last week cruising through the Eastern Sierra, venturing between Mammoth Lakes and South Lake Tahoe while working on my current book project. I thought I would share my observations for the status of the current fall foliage conditions in this area. [...]

Picture: Truncated image file of Zion National Park, Utah, after having been downloaded from the Digital Railroad servers. I’ve been watching and waiting since last week for that last poof of virtual smoke that would signal the final demise of Digital Railroad. That would be the moment when the server plugs got pulled from the [...]

Picture: Morning light on the Teton mountain range over aspen tree in autumn, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming It wasn’t all bad storms and grey clouds on my trip. Although that was the condition most of the time, there were pockets of time when the lighting was very nice. This morning started with me arriving [...]

Picture: Waiting for the light that never happens, Oxbow Bend, Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming I got back home from my little abbreviated tour of Wyoming late Saturday afternoon.

Picture: Alpenglow lights up the summit of the Grand Teton through storm clouds over aspen trees in fall, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming Right now, all I can say is, “Clouds; clouds everywhere.” This morning, I would have been happy to even see this much clear sky. That would explain why I’m posting a weblog [...]

Picture: Fall colors on tree below the Watchman, Zion Canyon, Zion National Park, Utah This month’s Photo of the Month is as fresh as they get, only a few days old, and from my recent trip to Utah. This is from the most well known icon spot in the park, but minus the river and [...]

Photo: Line of photographers at the bridge over the Virgin River, looking toward the Watchman, Zion Canyon, Zion National Park, Utah This is only a small section of the photographers lined up trying to make their own icon image of The Watchman and the Virgin River. In some spots, tripods legs were practically interlocked, and [...]

Picture: Red Ivy leaves in fall on wall of Garry Farrar vineyards, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California. This is an image I shot a year or so ago, and is now one of 4500 image scans in my production queue. I’ve been having lots of fun (sarcasm) this week, dealing with one of my [...]

Picture: Golden Aspen trees in Fall along Virginia Creek, Mono County, Eastern Sierra, California This is an image from a couple years ago, but probably close to how things look in the Eastern Sierra right now. This is one of 565 images that I have recently scanned, so it was right in front of the [...]
