Lichen on tall trees. Walking through the forest surrounding by these towering giants, I was inspired by the sheer amount of lichen clinging to the trees. I especially found the patterns it took on the trees, forming thick lines up the sides.

First time to the area, and just drove around looking for colors. This mountain stuck out to me as a good focal point for the image, though the real interest lies below it in the orange foliage interspersed with the green pines.

This was taken up a little known road near the tiny town of Kyburz, California. It gives one of my favorite views down through the valley. This was the first time I’d seen sunset from this point, and it did not disappoint.

I was snowshoeing back to the cabin I was staying in with my father, brother, and some friends when I saw my brother pause and look off into the forest for a minute. I pulled up my camera and captured the moment of rest and observation of the beauty in and around this forest.

While walking along Lake Tahoe, I came across this small inlet. It was called Secret Cove and is the only sanctioned nude beach on the eastern Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. There were 3 people sunbathing on the beach which is just below the bushes at the bottom of the picture. I respected their privacy and moved on.

This photo was taken at the end of my 10 week road trip around the USA. The whole trip was filled with incredible views, but the is something very special about Yosemite National Park. The incredible size of the mountain range is hard to judge in a photo, it has to be seen in person be truly appreciated.

by far one of the most amazing views I have ever seen. The Tunnel view in Yosemite National Park does a great job putting g life into perspective and really showing how small we really are. Shot this 2 weeks ago just before it started raining. Its amazing how much water is in the valley right now.

I met this gentleman, who has been photographing Yosemite for the past 30 years, as I was about to leave the park. I could spend hours talking to him about photography, he explained to me how he uses the large format film camera, told me stories about old times and more. The work that he puts into his photos is amazing.

I was driving through Yosemite on my way back home when I saw this. It perfectly symbolized the cycle of life, with the new greenery exploding around the tall, charred trees that once were. There wasn’t anywhere to pull over, so I stopped, grabbed my camera and took a single shot. I’m glad it turned out.

Visiting her cousin’s farm in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, Fi spent the day cleaning and caring for the chickens and fell in love with this mild-mannered hen. The apparent blood on her hands is actually pomegranate juice, having picked a couple from the tree at lunch. This hen didn’t mind.

The combined falls are taller than the empire state building. Its pretty impressive in person and totally worth the drive out there from San Francisco. If you ever head out to Yosemite, plan for May. Peak waterfalls and lighter traffic.

After a long hike up through rain, snow and 20 degree temperature, I didn’t know what to expect when we reached Upper Cathedral Lake in Yosemite National Park. The clouds seemed to be pulling to the north so I adjusted my position hoping to keep them in frame for sunset. As I waited, a group of hikers came up to admire the view. One of them stepped out on the rocks to take it all in and I was able to capture this reflective moment.

They say age has a story. This gritty, HDR capture of the iconic El Capitan at Yosemite National Park personifies that. It’s incredible to wonder all the things this magnificent mountain has seen.

This is a pic of the famous Buckhorn Wash in Utah. It’s fading away due to erosion and the forces of nature; it’s sad to see such a amazing inspiring piece of art made hundreds of years ago. I’m really interested in Archeology and Anthropology as well, I just love history. :)

We were looking to capture a foggy sunrise view of Half-Dome in Yosemite, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with us. The fog that did show up was low-lying and moving quickly through the trees like a ghostly river meandering through the canyon, swirling around the tallest trees in small eddies. Like too many forests, the valley is infested with borers, which has killed thousands of trees. The splash of golden trees mixed with the green is actually really beautiful, but a sad reminder of how fragile the forest is.

Just after sunrise we found this location in the center of the valley with a beautiful view of Yosemite Falls. Right now all the waterfalls are flowing from all the snow this winter. They should be flowing year round. Five of us friends took a one day road trip to make it for sunrise at Yosemite, slept during the day in our hammocks, and then shot sunset and night photos.

We started making a habit of 7 hour twilight treks from Los Angeles to Yosemite Valley for a day get away. We would periodically arrive in the park an hour or so before sunrise and hope to find sleep before the sun illuminated the park. However, sleep often eluded me during these brief rest periods. A tangible excitement kept my soul from sleeping, brewing within me like a spiritual caffeine. I would recline my seat and unsuccessfully attempt to dose off. Inevitably the sun emerged and with it the valley floor coated in a morning mist that floated with mystery waiting to be explored.

Decided to embark on a long over due trip to Yosemite National Park. Coming into the park the weather was slightly overcast and extremely foggy. There were some breaks in the fog and the views were breath taking until we came around the corner to this photo. All I could think is how lucky we are to live on such a planet. GOD has created such master pieces everywhere and I am so thankful to be able to absorb this all in and get a chance to show you all my creations.

We arrived in Yosemite around 6am. After catching the sunrising over Half Dome, we started exploring the valley floor. That’s when we came across two coyotes hopping around through a field, hunting for food. We began to approach them, and thankfully they didn’t notice. I was about ten feet away when they finally looked up and saw me. One ran, but the other took a slow turn and began to walk away. He looked back only for a brief moment before trotting off.
